Karrin Allyson, whose forthcoming album is 'Some of That Sunshine'

Karrin Allyson is about to release a new album of all her own songs. She came by WBGO to play and sing and talk with Michael Bourne for Singers Unlimited.

She’ll perform this week (Tuesday through Saturday) at Birdland, with Miro Sprague on piano and Fender Rhodes, Jeff Johnson on bass and Jerome Jennings on drums.

Here is a video of Karrin performing Paul Simon's "April Come She Will" in our studio at WBGO. For more information about her new album, Some of That Sunshine, visit her website.

Michael Bourne, who died on August 21, 2022, was a presence on the air at WBGO between the end of 1984 and the start of 2022 when he retired from full-time hosting duty. He is the host of the Singers Unlimited Podcast by WBGO Studios. Previously, he hosted the popular Singers Unlimited (1985-2022). He also hosted the equally popular Blues Break for several years. Michael is a senior contributor to Down Beat, with the magazine since 1969. Doctor Bourne earned a PhD in Theatre from Indiana University -- which comes in handy when he's a theatre critic for the WBGO Journal.
