New this week on eTown, musical guests Eric D. Johnson of Fruit Bats and Cat Clyde offer their unique and authentic songs. And eTown host Nick Forster has a chat with Hillary Rosner about her book, Roam, which explores the need for animals to have unfettered access to protected spaces to thrive.

Eric D. Johnson of Fruit Bats joins us with songs from across his catalog, including music from his latest album, The Landfill. His distinctive indie rock sound is poetic and dreamlike, with songs that wander between the natural world and the imagination. It was our honor to welcome him to eTown for the first time.

Cat Clyde treats us to songs from her latest album, Mud Blood Bone, a collection of folk and blues to rockabilly. The Canadian singer-songwriter performs with a striking confidence and presence throughout her set. You’ll be glad you listened to her music. 

In our interview, Nick and Hillary Rosner discuss her book Roam and the growing effort to reconnect fragmented landscapes so wildlife can move, migrate and thrive.
