This week’s eTown program showcases the famously raw and wonderful singer/songwriter Justin Townes Earle, performing some of his most recent original songs from his latest CD. We also welcome third-generation Texas musician Emily Gimble, a talented young pianist, vocalist, and songwriter who shares her own special brand of songs along with stories of growing up in one of the most famous American musical families. And Nick sits down for a conversation with one of the co-founders of the grassroots organization “500 Women Scientists” which promotes the importance of science in general while raising the profile of female scientists around the world.

In this week’s back-by-popular-demand re-airing, we’re joined by popular young bluegrass artist Billy Strings. Whether he’s performing as a solo artist or with his band, the reaction to Billy tends to come in two varieties: “Who is this guy?” and “That kid can play!” Also with us is the progressive instrumental group, the Jon Stickley Trio. Plus, we’ll have a conversation with our eChievement Award winner of the week who’s founded a group that’s transforming abandoned paved places into urban gardens, parks and more.

This week, we welcome Rising Appalachia, led by sisters Leah and Chloe Smith. It’s worth tuning in just for those incredible sibling harmonies alone; but you’ll also be moved by our other musician guest, Egyptian rock musician Ramy Essam, known as “The Singer of the Egyptian Revolution.” And the finale collaboration between Nick, Helen, and our musical guests this week is one of the most inspiring ever done on eTown. We round things out with an eChievement Award story about a man who’s helping folks in low-income neighbourhoods obtain healthy food by creating their own gardens.

This week, eTown revisits musical pairing with Austin-based singer/songwriter Bob Schneider, on his return visit to eTown to share music and stories spanning his varied career. Also with us is eTown newcomer Joan Shelley, who joins us to share beautiful, stripped down versions of songs from her widely acclaimed release Over and Even, as well as a one-of-a-kind collaboration with eTown’s house band – the eTones. All of this, plus an inspiring eChievement Award story with a well-known athlete who is making time to grant wishes for the elderly through Wish of a Lifetime.
