It's an alt-folk double bill for this show. Nashville’s Erin Rae brings a mellow blend of folk and pop to her songwriting. NPR’s All Songs Considered, and Rolling Stone have both lauded her sound.
Dean Johnson's first solo record wasn't released until his 50th birthday. He cites influences ranging from the Dead Kennedys to Neil Young, but his sound is very much his own.
NHPR and The Word Barn are partnering to record live music every week so you can experience it anywhere: in your car, your kitchen or through your headphones. No cover. Just great music.
