United States of Americana for April 3, 2016
April 03, 2016
It's a busy show this time.
In the first hour I featured a segment with Ben Weaver performing live in a tent in the BWCA. As he paid a visit to Dave & Amy Freeman, who are spending A Year in the Wilderness.
In the second hour it was a session with Phil Cook recorded 2 weeks ago, prior to his set at First Avenue.
