(Airing July 20 – July 26) eTown broadcast/podcast with DeVotchKa and Joe Purdy

This week, Nick & I welcome two musical guests who share a couple of musical things in common: for one, they are both original, artful entities with their own totally identifiable, unique sound (when you hear them, you know immediately that it’s them) and second, they both paid homage to rock legend Neil Young at [...]

(Airing July 6 – July 12) eTown broadcast/podcast with BeauSoleil avec Michael Doucet and Ben Kweller

Hope you are all well and enjoying the incredible summer weather. We’ve got a great eTown show on the air for you this week: Grammy winners BeauSoleil avec Michael Doucet are back with us in this repeat airing, bringing with them their Zydeco and Cajun flavored signature sound. And from Texas, gifted young singer/songwriter Ben Kweller graces the eTown stage, [...]

(Airing June 28th – July 5th) eTown broadcast/podcast with Ralph Stanley & His Clinch Mountain Boys and Ramblin’ Jack Elliott

Our broadcast this week is an encore airing that brings two elder legends of American music to eTown. Both of these iconic musicians are strong favorites of both Nick’s and mine, and I really think this is one of the better shows in eTown’s history. Apparently our listeners did too; due to the overwhelming response, [...]

(airing 5/18 – 5/24) eTown broadcast/podcast with CAKE and Chuck Prophet

It’s another ‘back by popular demand’ eTown broadcast/podcast, this one featuring the dynamic American indie band, CAKE. This group has built a huge base of fans with their unique blend of pop, funk, jazz and rock. They fit right into the eTown scene because they are extremely environmentally and socially conscious guys. They’ve never been [...]

(airling 5/11 – 5/17) eTown broadcast/podcast with Flobots and Teddy Thompson

We’re pretty excited over here at eTown. So much great stuff: the matching grant, the construction progress at eTown Hall, and this week’s broadcast/podcast. Lots of young folks on the show this week. It’s really almost the yin and the yang show, with one set of musicians from Colorado who are some of the most [...]

(airing 4/27 – 5/3) eTown broadcast/podcast with Sharon Jones and The Dap-Kings & Darrell Scott

Hi my friends, Have you read Keith Richard’s autobiography? I just finished it, gave it to Nick for Christmas and nabbed it to read myself when the coast was clear and Nick was done reading it. I recommend it. It’s good writing and such interesting stuff. I always loved the Stones’ music; even saw them [...]

(airing 4/13 – 4/19) eTown broadcast/podcast w/Ray LaMontagne & Ingrid Michaelson

Hello Friends! Easter is not far around the bend, for those of you who (1) believe in that from a religious standpoint and/or (2) love the chocolate bunnies, jelly beans and other sugary treats that seem to emerge around that time. We’ll be bringing you some sugar of our own this week, both on the [...]

This week’s eTown broadcast/podcast with Martin Sexton and Nellie McKay (airing 4/6 – 4/12)

How are you? I know a lot of you are like me these days, deeply disturbed by all the chaos going on in the world. The suffering of the Japanese people, as well as that of those in Libya, is so awful. Obviously two different sources for this suffering, but heart breaking all the same. [...]

This week’s eTown broadcast/podcast with Imogen Heap and Gregory Alan Isakov (airing 3/30 – 4/5)

Hello all, I hope you’re all doing well. It’s my pleasure to tell you about this week’s eTown broadcast/podcast, which is full of great stuff; in fact, I’m not sure how we managed to pack all this into an hour, but we did. Here goes: First, there’s our musical visitors: the superbly talented British singer-songwriter, [...]

This Week's eTown broadcast with Kathy Mattea and Johnny Long

Hello everyone, Hope you are having a good week. One way to make it even better is catching this week’s eTown broadcast/podcast.
