Etown: music.ideas.community. Etown: A radio variety show with musicians, authors, environmental activists and community volunteer organizers.
This week: STEVE EARLE / MESHELL NDEGEOCELLO
In this week's exciting Etown encore, Nick & Helen Forster welcome back one of today's best political songwriters, Steve Earle. He stirs the Etown audience with a sharp and energetic set of songs.
As a bonus, Steve's talented wife, singer-songwriter Allison Moorer, takes the stage for a tune with Nick & Helen and the Etones joining in.
Also, making her first visit to Etown is Meshell Ndegeocello. This 'fearsome bassist, prolific songwriter and authentic musical force' lays down her unique rhythmic and groovy music for the house.
Plus, there's another fantastic E-Chievement Award winner, too, all in this week's Etown.
JOAN BAEZ / BRETT DENNEN
INTERVIEW GUEST: JAMES HOWARD KUNSTLER
Etown and hosts Nick & Helen Forster convene at the historic Chautauqua Auditorium in Boulder to tape a special show in celebration of this remarkable landmark's 110th anniversary.
Joan Baez returns to Etown to celebrate both a brand new album and her 50th anniversary year of performing. Her top-notch touring band (John Doyle, Dirk Powell and Todd Phillips) supports Joan's beautiful singing and superb song selection.
Also with us this week, for his second visit to Etown, is rising star, Brett Dennen. He invites Nick & Helen and the Etones to sing and play along on his well-crafted set of original songs.
And noted columnist and author James Howard Kunstler (The Long Emergency and World Made By Hand) stops by as this week's interview guest to talk with Nick about global oil issues, climate change, and some of the 'converging catastrophes of the 21st Century.'
Plus, Etown is proud to present a rare Lifetime E-Chievement Award to Joan Baez, who, through her music and activism, has for so many years engaged and educated all of us about issues that challenge our society, inspiring us to get more involved.
