Join us for a favorite episode featuring the ever eclectic Fruition from the Northwest and soulful singer-songwriter Madeline Hawthorne from Montana. eTown host Nick Forster also chats with former NFL quarterback Jake Plummer about the health benefits of functional mushrooms.

For nearly two decades, Fruition has built its American roots sound around harmony, not only in the vocal interplay between the band’s three songwriters, but in the deeper connection formed between five longtime friends who have spent years on the road together. Their set includes songs from How To Make Mistakes alongside new music from their forthcoming album Something More, due out August 28. 

Madeline Hawthorne shares songs shaped by roots rock and country influences. Drawing from her albums Boots and Tales From Late Nights & Long Drives, she writes with a warm, road-worn honesty.

Nick’s conversation with Jake Plummer explores wellness and life after professional football. The former Denver Broncos quarterback discusses his work with MycoLove Farm and Umbo Mushrooms, along with his interest in natural approaches to long-term health.
