This is episode 58 of Caffe Lena: 60 Years of Song. Thank you to Sarah at the Caffe for the list of songs and artists for the feature.
The Way Down Wanderers may sound like some long-forgotten bluegrass band from the movie “O Brother Where Art Thou”. There live shows are truly unique , communal experiences, with acoustic encores taking place out in the audience and drummer Merikoski’s famous spoon solos.
Kuinka are a joyous folk pop group. The members craft songs that are engaging and original. Stories are laced through the lyrics and there are both a synthesizer and a cello
