Etown: A radio variety show with musicians, authors, environmental activists and community volunteer organizers.

This week: NEKO CASE / CHARLIE LOUVIN

A budding legend is teamed with a living legend in this etown repeat broadcast. Neko Case has earned accolades for her recent work. Witness her stellar writing and singing, woven with pitch-perfect harmonies and strong support from her band.

Next, we welcome living legend Charlie Louvin, of the influential country music duo The Louvin Brothers, to the etown stage; he shares a couple of classic tunes and chats about his experience in country music history with host Nick Forster.

There's great music and conversation, and a dedicated young e-chievement award winner from Iowa; you are in for a fantastic hour of entertainment . . . in etown.



Last Week: KATHY MATTEA / JOHNNY LONG

Grammy winner Kathy Mattea makes her return to etown for this road show taping from the Union Colony Civic Center in Greeley, Colorado. She draws on her West Virginia roots to deliver a compelling set of traditional and contemporary mining songs. She also talks with host Nick Forster about her musical and activist roots.

Then Johnny Long, the 'Bluesman,' with a capital B, takes the etown stage and shows us why, in the words of John Hammond, he is an artist "worthy of international attention."

Also, a concerned and inspired young physician from Ohio accepts the listener nominated e-chievement award this week, and shares his story with us 'in-person.'

Don't miss this week's entertaining and engaging episode of etown!
