Popular Music
The Celtic Journeys of Loreena McKennitt
McKennitt fell in love with Celtic music many years ago, but a late-'90s visit to Venice gave her a new appreciation for the wide reach of Celtic culture. Her new album is a concert recording from an unlikely Celtic outpost: Spain. She visits NPR for an interview and in-studio performance.
Nickel Creek Farewell (For Now) Concert
When Nickel Creek began as a bluegrass trio in 1989, its pre-teen members stunned audiences with their remarkable musical gifts. Since then, their sound has evolved into progressive acoustic music, but they're calling it quits. Hear Nickel Creek recorded live in concert in one of the band's final performances.
Over the Rhine in Concert
Over the Rhine has taken on a variety of forms since 1989, but it's now just the husband-and-wife duo of Linford Detweiler and Karin Bergquist. Hear the bittersweet folk-pop band perform a concert from WXPN and the Whitaker Center in Harrisburg, Pa.
