To kick off the TumbleWeek celebration on High Plains Morning, where we feature our live-recorded performances from the 2022 Tumbleweed Festival, I interviewed Tina Casagrand of The New Territory magazine. The latest issue, "Search & Find," has a piece about HPPR and Tumbleweed Festival, as well as coverage of Jacob's Well (penned by HPPR Radio Readers Book Club's Leslie VonHolten). Tune in all week for more music, interviews, and regional shout-outs!

Finally, HPPR was able to get the fabulous folk duo Ordinary Elephant into the studio for a live set!

It's that time of year again. HPPR is ready for Folk Alliance International's 2023 conference—and so is the folk scene. Plus, this year's festival has a new leader at the helm: Neeta Ragoowansi. We were lucky enough to catch up with her this week!
