Listen to a 22 minute WAMC NPR feature on our new album — and stream a performance and interview on WCBE today at 11AM.

I’m thankful for public radio stations. I listened regularly to WYSO out of Yellow Springs as a kid, and they offer such a window into art and music, particular the stuff that’s just a quick jog off the beaten path.

I’d like to appreciate Sarah LaDuke from WAMC NPR out of Albany, New York. She took a liking to our album and reached out to feature it on their airwaves that reach half a million people a month in the northeastern US. I took the interview, during my lunch break at the library no less.

I was impressed by her thoughtful approach and desire to highlight b-sides — Sale Today and Couch Song — that were not highlighted as singles. We had a lovely talk (which became a 22 minute feature!!) about the intersection of Toddler Storytime and folk music, how work at the library allows me to make art more freely, and some additional details about dad’s accident at the center of our new record.

If you want to hear us on an NPR station in our hometown, tune into WCBE (or stream it on their website) at 11am. We’ll be playing live and chatting about our big release show tomorrow at Rumba cafe.

I imagine that this will be the only time we play the album in its entirety with a 7-piece band. If you want to be there, I’d suggest buying a ticket online post-haste.

With appreciation,

Sam
