Wide Ear Folk

there’s a lot going on

Tue, Jan 21, 2025

There’s a lot happening in the world — and on today’s show. In addition to the usual awesome assortment of new indie music with a few throwbacks mixed in, I’ve woven in some songs that I believe speak to this moment in time. I’m also giving away tickets to see Willow Avalon at the Richmond Music Hall on Feb 1. (PHOTO: Willow Avalon in concert)
