New this week on eTown, Swedish singer-songwriter José González returns to the show with songs from his new album, Against The Dying Of The Light. From New Mexico, we welcome eTown veteran and winner of most appearances on our show, Eliza Gilkyson. And eTown host Nick Forster interviews Harmony Cummings, a former oil and gas industry worker who now advocates for the environment and the under-served members of society.

José González pairs intricate fingerpicked guitar with thoughtful songs that wrestle with some of the big questions of our time. His latest album, Against The Dying Of The Light, turns his attention toward technology, artificial intelligence and the future of humanity while holding onto curiosity and hope. It’s our pleasure to welcome him back to eTown this week.

Twice Grammy-nominated singer-songwriter Eliza Gilkyson has been part of eTown since our very first season in 1991. Her latest album, Dark Ages, faces the uncertainty of the present while searching for hope and beauty amidst reasons to keep going.

Harmony Cummings, founder and executive director of the Green House Connection Center, joins Nick to talk about her transition from working in oil and gas to advocating for communities affected by pollution and environmental injustice, and how art and music have become part of that work.
