SoCal's Growlers stopped by Larry Trask's Afternoon Delig...actually, Awkward Pause radio show on Leap Day and totally knocked it out of something. Much like Martha Washington, The Growlers are one hip, hip, hip lady (except instead of "lady", substitute "band")

Partially famous and wholly talented ex-Humboldter Ivan Rosenberg performed live on Mike Dronkers' program Friday, February 24th. In addition to decidedly non-shreddy acoustic music, Rosenberg talks about his time as a Humboldt Ultimate Frisbee athlete, how Jimmy Buffett got him to Montana, and why it's OK to zone out to his music. Chris Coole joins him to play banjo and guitar, while overcoming a past youth with Neil Diamond records and Andy Griffith reruns. For over a decade, Ivan Rosenberg has been making ‘boutique’ recordings of personable, expressive acoustic music on Dobro and clawhammer banjo. Millions have heard his original songs playing in the background of over 250 television programs including The Daily Show, Oprah, and the Emmy-nominated documentary Libby, Montana.

Jeffrey Lewis

Born and raised in New York City's East Village, Jeffrey Lewis is truly a cult folk hero. He tours the world with his seemingly stream-of-consciousness songs, but almost nobody knows who he is. This recording comes from his appearance on You & Meme, December 6th, 2011.
