This week on eTown, we’re featuring indie-folk-rock band Big Thief and legendary Americana singer-songwriter Lucinda Williams, live from Red Rocks Amphitheater in Morrison, Colorado. While the theatre of Red Rocks is dramatic in and of itself, this year’s show was electric as storms brewed overhead before, during and after. Paired with incredible music from Big Thief and Lucinda Williams, the set and setting combined for a night that was nothing short of magic.
Big Thief performs songs from across their catalog, including music from the Grammy-nominated Dragon New Warm Mountain I Believe in You, a collection that beautifully captures the band’s songwriting, musicianship, creative exploration and depth.
Lucinda Williams shares songs spanning her remarkable career, including favorites from her acclaimed catalog. A three-time Grammy Award winner, Lucinda remains one of the most influential and enduring voices in American songwriting.
Recorded at Colorado’s iconic Red Rocks Amphitheatre, this special eTown episode captures an unforgettable evening as gathering storms frame performances from two extraordinary artists, with backstage conversations in which eTown host Nick Forster sits down with Big Thief and Lucinda Williams to talk about the journeys that continue to shape their work.
