This week, as we continue to celebrate 30 years on the air, eTown hosts Nick and Helen Forster welcome two world-class artists, Marcia Ball and Paul Thorn for an episode from 2013 that’s steeped in the musical traditions of the American south. Marcia is truly an iconic blues player, writer and singer. And talented, funny and insightful singer/songwriter Paul Thorn will have you laughing, especially in his chat with Nick! Plus a woman from Michigan tells us how she’s brought back crucial art classes to low-income schools.
