Mumford & Sons / Danielle Ate The Sandwich | eTown travels a short distance down the road from the historic Boulder Theater to Colorado University’s Glenn Miller Ballroom in this week's encore airing. Nick & Helen Forster welcome two musical groups who are seriously turning heads. Mumford & Sons bring their unique sound all the way from London, England. The young and spirited quartet share their earnest and high energy folk-rock sound. The British foursome has only been together for a few years, but, after listening to them, it’s easy to understand why they continue to sell out venue after venue on their US tours. Also taking the eTown stage is Danielle Ate the Sandwich (that’s Danielle Anderson and her band), who has built an impressive internet fan-base in a relatively short amount of time with her great singing and quirky, hip original tunes. Nick & Helen and the eTones join Danielle to lend her musical and vocal support. There’s also an inspirational E-Chievement Award story this week, highlighting the continued need for aid in New Orleans. It’s eTown at its finest, so don’t miss it!

For 30 years this band has made their mark with a powerful mix of Spanish-Mexican inspired, original rock and traditional tunes. It's been eight years since they were last on the show, so it’s very exciting to have these good friends back with us. And the talented local Fort Collins group SHEL joins us as well. These four, young, classically trained musicians (who happen to be sisters) have an eclectic sound that's both sophisticated and lighthearted. And of course, we'll share a hometown hero’s story and good works in Cincinnati too, in this encore airing. CLICK HERE TO CHECK OUT PHOTOS FROM THIS SHOW | 12/27/11 | Free | View In iTunes |

CAKE / Danny Barnes / Eliza Gilkyson – Port Angeles ‘Celebrate Elwha’-Part 2 | It's part two of 'eTown on the Road' in the great state of Washington, with musical visitors Cake, Danny Barnes and Eliza Gilkyson. eTown travels to the Northwest to participate in ‘Celebrate Elwha’, a multi-day event commemorating the nation's largest dam removal project.
