All of the artists above, as well as Beth Orton, Nick Lowe, and Amos Lee, had performed the previous night at the Beacon Theater in New York for the ninth annual Holiday Cheer for FUV concert to benefit New York public radio station 90.7 FM WFUV. Tune in for more holiday cheer as WFUV airs highlights from the concert on Monday, December 23, at noon EST and on Christmas Day at 7:30 PM.
"Mr. Beam sang, in his gentle high tenor, about memories and connections, families and lovers," writes New York Times music critic Jon Pareles in his review of the concert.
