In this eTown program from 2015, hosts Nick and Helen Forster welcome Swedish indie folk artist José Gonzålez and his band to the eTown stage. Jose has only gained in popularity since then with his relaxed, uplifting and almost hypnotic songs. Also with us is North Carolina-based husband and wife musical duo Mandolin Orange playing original songs with some traditional acoustic instrumentation. Plus there’s a great eChievement Award story about a woman who is keeping office supplies out of landfills and getting them into the hands of teachers.

eTown favorite and American musical legend, David Bromberg joins Rockabilly legend, Wanda Jackson for an unforgettable eTown show from our 2014 season. Bromberg’s versatile variety of bluegrass, blues and country is a perfect foil for Wanda’s unmistakable take on her classic songs she made famous in the 50s, back when she was on tour with Elvis, Carl Perkins, Jerry Lee Lewis, and Johnny Cash. Bromberg, who got his start playing with his own set of legends like Jerry Jeff Walker and Bob Dylan, joins Rock and Roll Hall of Fame, Wanda Jackson at the end of the show, but their conversations with host Nick Forster make great radio. Great music, insightful conversation and an E-Chievement Award winner who is feeding her Idaho community in a sustainable way. Be sure to join us!

This week, we bring you some of the best moments from our 2014 season. The variety of talent that we welcomed to the eTown stage that year was astounding. We’ve got, among others, the danceable Cumbia of Los Lobos, the delicate vocals of Jesca Hoop and Laura Marling, the energy of Lake Street Dive and Rodney Crowell and the thoughtful poetry of hip hop artist, Atmosphere. As usual, it’s all tied together with Nick Forster’s thoughtful conversation and the pacing and excellent production of the eTown team. This is a good one – don’t miss it!
