Such a cool show for you this week! From Iceland, we welcome Ásgeir, whose sensitive, contemplative songs invite you to slow down and listen closely. He shares music from across his career, pairing his distinctive voice with melodies that stay with you long after the song ends.
Iowa native Pieta Brown joins us with new music inspired by what she calls a “Midwest tundra conjuring.” Her songs offer another sense of place, drawing listeners into a world of vivid images, open spaces and reflection.
Together, these two artists give us plenty to take in, each with a musical voice all their own.
Plus, eTown host Nick Forster talks with historian Susan Schulten as the country marks the 250th anniversary of the signing of the Declaration of Independence. Their conversation explores the Declaration, Abraham Lincoln and what American history can teach us 250 years later.
