eTown Time Capsule 2016 - Calexico - Ray Wylie Hubbard

As we continue our ‘look back' through our archive of great shows, we offer an incredible full rebroadcast from 2016, when hosts Nick and Helen Forster welcomed the eclectic sounds of Arizona-based music veterans Calexico to eTown’s solar-powered stage. Drawing from the vast landscapes of the desert territories surrounding them, the band has been fusing their influences of various Latin musical styles, country, jazz and rock to create a sound that has been all their own for decades. Also joining us in this repeat program is underground Texas music legend Ray Wylie Hubbard who shares some great music and hilarious stories, plus a warning about visiting snake farms (tune in to find out more about that). Also, our eChievement Award story is one of Helen Forster’s favorites! We showcase a young California college design student who found a great way to both provide comfort and warmth as well as employment for the homeless. It’s an eTown classic this week!
