Embracing the Muse
Tuesday, 6-7 PM
Alex Craighead—Supporting the Journey from Boys to Men
Journeymen was born from a question that echoed in the hearts of two friends: What is happening to our boys? In 2016, Alex Craighead and Nicky Wilks set out to create what they felt was missing: a village, a rite of passage, and a path forward.
Sally talks with Alex about the evolution of Journeymen, the personal journey that brought him back to his childhood roots on Vashon Island, and the organization’s exciting plans for expansion.

Boogie Back to Texas
Wednesday, 6-7 PM
Sound of Austin
The Sound of Austin is a book of outstanding portraits of Austin, Texas musicians. Terri, Boogie Back chief critic, occasional researcher and artist spouse of Boogie Back host Geoff Fletcher, chose her favorite portraits and Geoff chose the songs from each musician.
Tune in for some love songs from Bob Schneider and Los Lonely Boys and some solace and advice from Joe Ely and Dale Watson. We got a lot of blues from Rosie Flores, W. C. Clark, Lavelle White and the duet of James Cotton and Duane Allman. Slaid Cleaves weighs in with some commentary and Eliza Gilkyson and a fine ensemble bring some hope and a call to action.
We need that today.

Atmospheric Rivers
Saturday, 9-11 PM
The Psychedelic States of America, Vol. 2
Atmospheric Rivers' observance of America's 250th continues...Three years ago, we opened a door into America's lost psychedelic underground. It's still open. We'll step back through for a second round of obscure American 60s bands: private-press rarities, and songs that time — and radio — mostly forgot. Artists will include Kak, Merrill Fankuaser and HMS Bounty, The Zakary Thaks, The Third Bardo, Ultimate Spinach, The .C,A, Quintet, The Peanut Butter Conspiracy, The Rising Storm, and more forgotten patriots of fuzz and feedback. Tune in (this Saturday), turn on, and drop out!
