Sunday on Radio Heartland on The Current, we’ll hear from a few supergroups, including The Neighborhood Quartet — if you’ve ever been out to see music in the Twin Cites, you’ve no doubt seen one or more of these guys. We’ll also hear new solo material from Ruth Moody (of the Wailin’ Jennys), Jim Keller (formerly of Tommy TuTone), and Aoife O’Donovan, and we’ll taste some Earl Jam, a new tribute record by Tony Trishka honoring Earl Scruggs.
