Welcome to an eclectic eTown show this week! From British Columbia comes Ocie Elliott, the JUNO-nominated folk duo known for the close harmonies of Jon Middleton and Sierra Lundy. From Nashville comes acclaimed Country singer-songwriter and multi-instrumentalist Shawn Camp. eTown host Nick Forster talks with comedian, media host and StarTalk co-host Chuck Nice about finding new ways to communicate about climate change.

Ocie Elliott’s Jon Middleton and Sierra Lundy first met at a café on British Columbia’s Salt Spring Island and began making music together soon after. Their understated songs beautifully pair sparse acoustic arrangements with graceful, close harmonies. Their music has appeared in numerous television shows, earned more than a billion plays online and helped the duo build an international following.

Arkansas native Shawn Camp has spent decades at the heart of American country and roots music. After moving to Nashville as a young musician, he found himself among a remarkable community that included John Prine and Cowboy Jack Clement before going on to write hits recorded by Garth Brooks, Brooks & Dunn, Blake Shelton, Willie Nelson and many others. A longtime friend and collaborator of Guy Clark, Shawn makes his first visit to eTown with songs from across his catalog and his latest album, The Ghost of Sis Draper, a collection of songs he and Guy wrote together over more than two decades.

Comedian and media host Chuck Nice joins Nick for a conversation about climate change and how we talk about it. A veteran stand-up comedian and co-host of StarTalk with astrophysicist Neil deGrasse Tyson, Chuck has spent years finding humor and humanity in subjects ranging from science and technology to our changing planet.
