Etown: music.ideas.community. Etown: A radio variety show with musicians, authors, environmental activists and community volunteer organizers.
This week: RICKIE LEE JONES / CHRIS SMITHER
The "Duchess of Coolsville" herself, Rickie Lee Jones, makes her way back to the Etown stage for her fourth visit. In this repeat broadcast, she shares some newer music (with stellar vocal harmonizing by Helen & Nick) along with select tunes from her amazing catalog amassed over a stellar career of nearly 30 years.
Also joining us is singer-songwriter Chris Smither, who wows us with masterful guitar picking on his selection of tunes rooted in blues and folk. Incorporating lyrics drawn from modern poets and humanist philosophers, Chris shares some solo tunes and also gangs up with Nick & Helen Forster and the Etones for a fine, full band performance.
There's captivating music and conversation along with another outstanding E-Chievement Award story you won't want to miss, all this week, in Etown.
MATT NATHANSON / IAN BALL
This encore airing features two young songwriters and singers. Matt Nathanson, a talented musician and conversational 'free-spirit' with a marvelously gregarious stage presence, pays a visit to Etown. He plays some stripped down versions of recent hit songs, accompanied in exceptional style by Nick & Helen Forster and the Etones.
We also welcome Ian Ball of the successful British rock trio, Gomez, who offers his own blend of Brit-pop tunes.
Plus, we'll share a moving E-Chievement Award story with you, too, right here in Etown.
