This week, we featured music from a new Nanci Griffith tribute record with songs from Sarah Jarosz, Molly Tuttle, and Steve Earle. We also played some new tunes from the North Carolina string band Mipso, as well as new local releases from Skarlett Woods and Martin Zellar. And, we lit a candle for last week’s birthday of the late Tom Petty.
