In this eTown program from 2015, hosts Nick and Helen Forster welcome Swedish indie folk artist José Gonzålez and his band to the eTown stage. Jose has only gained in popularity since then with his relaxed, uplifting and almost hypnotic  songs. Also with us is North Carolina-based husband and wife musical duo Mandolin Orange playing original songs with some traditional acoustic instrumentation. Plus there’s a great eChievement Award story about a woman who is keeping office supplies out of landfills and getting them into the hands of teachers.
