eTown Time Capsule 2012 - North Mississippi Allstars Duo / Big Al Anderson

Nick & Helen welcome back some old friends: brothers Luther and Cody Dickinson of North Mississippi Allstars fame. They bring their special Southern blues sound, this time as a duo (Nick & Helen and the eTones lend musical support as well for them). There's more great music from first time eTown visitor Big Al Anderson. Al is known for his time (23 years as lead guitarist) with the iconic band NRBQ. He's a gifted singer, songwriter and guitarist, whose work is a dynamic fusion of Country, Rock, Blues and Soul. There’s lots of great music, conversation, and another enlightening E-Chievement Award story. All this, this week, in eTown!

eTown Time Capsule 2012 - The Tallest Man on Earth / The Spring Standards

Nick & Helen welcome indie sensation Kristian Matsson (who performs under the moniker The Tallest Man on Earth). Kristian hails from Sweden and, of late, has burst onto the US music scene, building a huge fan base in an astonishingly short amount of time. He brings his stripped-down, soulful sound (which often gets him compared to Bob Dylan) to the show. And relative newcomers The Spring Standards join us this week as well. They were childhood friends and reunited after college to continue creating their uniquely original sound; they're currently enjoying an underground following and growing buzz in the industry. Stellar music, great conversation and a moving E-Chievement Award story, too. That’s this week, at eTown.

Also joining us for the first time is the dynamic duo Birds of Chicago, which consists of talented musicians JT Nero and Allison Russell (two emerging artists gathering a following in American Roots music). There’s of course an inspiring E-Chievement Award story, this one from California; and a lot of great conversation, too. Be sure to join us!

eTown Time Capsule 2011 - Tedeschi Trucks Band / Joseph Arthur

This week, we bring you one of our favorite programs from the archives (we couldn’t resist sharing it in its entirety). While both Derek Trucks and Susan Tedeschi had made solo stops in eTown over the years, this visit is a first for the newly-formed husband and wife duo's all-star band. Also, Joseph Arthur, a virtuoso musician, painter and poet (in no particular order), takes the stage. And we’ll share the story of a grassroots hero from Illinois. A classic eTown to be sure!

eTown Time Capsule 2010 - The Indigo Girls / Nathaniel Rateliff

We continue our dive into the eTown archives with this exceptional 2010 rebroadcast (full episode) with the Indigo Girls, Emily Saliers and Amy Ray. This was originally an ‘eTown on the road’ show done from the Lincoln Center in Fort Collins, Colorado, with a bit of intrigue thrown in: When Amy misses her plane, Nick, Helen, and the rest of the eTones are enlisted to fill in in her absence. While they make beautiful music with Emily in the first set of the show, the question arises: Will Amy make it to the theater in time to join Emily for their second set in the show? Tune in and find out. Also on the program for his first eTown visit is now iconic singer-songwriter Nathaniel Rateliff, who was an up-and-coming young artist at the time. The E-Chievement Award honors a dedicated Fort Collins citizen who shares his story about helping abused children with us.
