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, in eTown.

Nick & Helen welcome renowned Canadian singer and songwriter, Dallas Green, who performs under the moniker City and Colour. He has an unmistakable sound, both instrumentally and vocally, he's wildly popular, and we're excited to have him with us for his first visit to 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!

This week, we bring you another of our favorite episodes from the eTown archives. Nick & Helen Forster welcome special guests The Civil Wars. Joy Williams & John Paul White had a several-year run as a wildly popular indie duo before going their separate ways to pursue solo projects. Also with us, Sarah Jarosz, one of the most talked about singer/writers today. Plus, an inspiring E-Chievement Award story as well, to inform and inspire!

We continue our deep dive into the eTown archives, with more great moments from our treasure trove of musical and conversational gems. This week, we'll hear from Teddy Thompson, Suzanne Vega, Mohammed Alidu & The Bizung Family, Cyndi Lauper, and more! Plus, we'll revisit our conversation with a 2011 eChievement Award winner from Denver, Colorado!

eTown’s anniversary celebration series continues, as we serve up great musical and conversational moments from the show’s three decades of past programs. Sounding as fresh and remarkable as they did originally, its so great to be able to revisit these exceptional, one-of-a-kind performances and conversations. 

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!
