Thursday, March 8, A quartet of established musicians — Jay Farrar, Will Johnson, Anders Parker and Jim James — were invited to go through Woody Guthrie’s notebooks and napkin scribblings to create new music from his unfinished songs. We’ll hear what they came up with when New Multitudes performs live on Morning Becomes Eclectic at 11:15am.

Monday, March 19,Sharon Van Etten wowed Los Angeles at the Hollywood Bowl last time she was in town and made her mark as a fearless performer to watch. She manages to sound both tender and tough and we’re excited to hear her new songs live when she returns to Morning Becomes Eclectic at 11:15am.

Tuesday, March 20, Colombian-based DJ Quantic and British singer Alice Russell have joined forces and the result is Latin swing with a sweet soulful mix. We’ll hear it live on Morning Becomes Eclectic at 11:15am.
