This week, eTown brings back an eclectic show for your listening pleasure. Joining hosts Nick & Helen Forster in eTown is Grammy winning, pop music icon Cyndi Lauper. Cyndi continues to mix things up as she’s always done in her career; she’s been reinventing herself as a blues singer, and she comes with songs from her CD project, Memphis Blues. Also taking the stage, (both with Cyndi as a member of her blues band and in his own separate segment) is eTown favorite and iconic bluesman Charlie Musselwhite. Charlie shares his world-class harmonica skills and great vocals in original songs (off his CD called The Well), layered in deep-country blues.

2Cellos are two young Croatian cellists Luka Sulic and Stjepan Hauser. The duo has achieved sensational success by taking the cello to a new level and breaking the boundaries between different genres of music.Sarah Morgan has also won multiple titles for her Appalachian dulcimer work including the 2012 National Mountain Dulcimer Championship. This native of East Tennessee is only 18 and has incorporated the rich musical heritage of the area into her music. Backing traditional Appalachian melodies and haunting old time tunes with fresh harmonies and a progressive drive, she lends a new feel to seemingly "old" tunes, while accompanying pure and heartfelt vocals with the unpretentious sound of the Appalachian dulcimer

We're rocking and rolling with two icons of 60s pop. First, it's the voice behind some of the most well-known songs from the girl group era: La La Brooks, of the Crystals. La La sang the lead on the classic hit "Da Doo Ron Ron" when she was just a teenager! She shares stories of her time singing for Phil Spector, and starring on Broadway. We'll also visit with Gretna, Louisiana's Frankie Ford, whose early 60's hit "Sea Cruise" set the New Orleans R&B scene sailing on the charts.

Our guest this week on Art of the Song is Hillel Tigay. As a cantor at the IKAR Synagogue in Los Angeles, Hillel took up the challenge presenting 2,000-year-old Hebrew texts in a more accessible musical setting. Filtering these ancient lyrics through musical influences like Peter Gabriel and U2, the result is JUDEO, a CD collection of Psalms and biblical verses set to modern music. Holding the vision that music is indeed a universal language, the record was made with love by Jews, Christians, and Muslims. According to Hillel Tigay, “The music recorded here attempts to offer the listener, whether deeply pious, agnostic, or secular, a tangible sense of something greater than oneself.” We spoke with Hillel shortly after the release of JUDEO.
