what is not to like? Interviews with progressive activists mixed with performances from an always interesting set of musicians. The recent show featuring Cary Morin and Kathleen Edwards was outstanding.
My wife and I live in Boulder, CO and so happy to have this amazing place called ETown in our backyard. It is absolutely our favorite place in Boulder. We have discovered so many musicians and socially responsible interview guests at the weekly variety radio shows/podcasts. We also attend the monthly Hippie Bluegrass Church sing alongs. Nick and Helen Forster have created a truly special and legendary place. Listen to these podcast shows and you too will be a big fan of ETown.
Been a listener to E-town for years now, first on a local radio station and then online with podcasts when the station was bought by a “national conglomerate” and stopped carrying Etown.
With the pandemic and the loss of live music with friends and family this last year has been a tough one. This podcast brings back some of the joy of live shows and keeps my hopes going for days we can all be together again, sitting outside, and enjoying a concert together.
I been listening to Etown for over 10 years and it never gets old, from Colorado to Alaska I am always listening to the weeks best live music show out there.
Every etown show is a celebration of good work and good music!
