I love the music of today's guest, Roger Street Friedman, someone I just discovered a few weeks ago. I've seen descriptions of his music as being of the Roots Rock, Folk, Blues, R&B, Rock and Roll, and Country genres, but mostly I feel that hearing Roger is like being with a dear long-time friend, one who knows the words and notes that strum the chords of your heart. There's Earth and sky and waterfalls and campfires in this music, so I think you'll want to make it daily part of what feeds your soul.

It's been 20 years that Northern Spirit Radio has been broadcasting, and to celebrate that milestone we've set up a John McCutcheon concert event both streaming online and right here in-person, in Eau Claire, WI, on Sunday October 5^th, 2025, starting at 6:30 pm Central Time. Get more info and tickets on the NorthernSpiritRadio.org website. I've interviewed John several times, including live at a Quaker gathering at Grinnell College in Iowa on July 4^th, 2019.

John McCutcheon is classic & cutting-edge folk music. An amazing singer, songwriter, and multi-instrumentalist, he has now produced 40 albums, performed with all kinds of musical greats, like Pete Seeger, Tom Chapin, Tom Paxton, and Carrie Newcomer. He's witty, deep, creative, prolific, and he's in person for this interview on July 4th, 2019, at Grinnell College as part of the FGC Gathering.
