With one of the most distinctive and powerful voices in popular music, Joan Osborne continues to add new material and bring new energy to her earlier work as she makes a return visit to e-town with her touring band. Joan talks about how studying traditional Indian music and other Asian musical scales influenced her approach to pop music. Joining the e-town stage for this encore broadcast is singer/songwriter Matthew Ryan who is a working-class man, already pegged in the press as another passionate lyricist compared to the likes of Bruce Springsteen, Tom Waits, and Leonard Cohen. Plus, an inspiring e-chievement award is presented this week right here in e-town!
