Folk Weekend August 2, 2026 

On this Folk Weekend, there’s a loose “travel” theme, until we end up in Cambridge.

Old tunes from greats like Little Walter, Willie Nelson, Lucinda Williams, Woody Guthrie, Drive-By Truckers etc. Plus cool new songs from The War & Treaty, American Aquarium, Drivin’ N’ Cryin’, Chaparelle, Vandoliers and more…

We eventually stop in Cambridge, IL for an interesting conversation with John Taylor, who is doing fine work bringing great live music to small town Illinois with Ca d’Zan House, Levitt Amp Galva Music Series and Creative Commons in Bishop Hill with music from Stillhouse Junkies, The Rebel Eves, Chloe Kimes, Chicago Farmer, Bronwyn and more…

A pretty great episode if I do say so myself. Enjoy!
