This week’s “back by popular demand” program features Canadian singer-songwriter Patrick Watson, who grew up in Montreal; people often compare his art-music sensibilities with those of Rufus Wainwright or Gregory Alan Isakov. Also joining us is another Canadian singer-songwriter (and returning eTown visitor) Basia Bulat. Basia shares songs from a recent album, produced by My Morning Jacket’s Jim James. And we’ll have an inspiring conversation with this week’s eChievement Award winner, a young man from West Virginia helping coal miners who’ve lost their jobs because of automation or mine closings find meaningful work and solid income so they can support their families.
