A few weeks ago the Austin, TX group, The Band of Heathens dropped by The Current prior to their Fine Line show. That session airs on this United States of Americana. It airs at the midway point of show.

Plus, we’ll remember Levon Helm of The Band, who died this day in 2012 and we’ll have the usual new Americana!
