On this United States of Americana I’ll feature a rising star in the Americana world.  Molly Tuttle and Golden Highway have a brand-new EP, I’ll play a tune from it. I also have new music from Eliza Thorn, a local tune from Clayton Ryan and we’ll hear from many artists in our neighborhood in the week to come, like The Mavericks, Old 97’s and Nat Myers.
