In The Round

Goldpine "Better Together"

Meet the traveling troubadour husband & wife duo, Goldpine. These two are based in Nashville but primarily live on the road touring in their converted van and gathering fans of their country-flavored Americana tunes along the way. We talk about how they combined forces both in life and music, the unique way they integrate recordings from live shows into their albums, how they’ve built community in unlikely places, and finding identity outside of performing. Hang on at the end to hear a clip of their song “Understand” and tune in next week for the full performance out on Christmas Day on our YouTube channel.

Carbon Leaf "I Want To Be Leaf"

Life got a little less ordinary with our next guest, Carbon Leaf! You may know them from their 2004 hit album but this band has been writing and touring consistently for over 30 years. We caught them on their “I Want To Be Leaf” tour, so of course we talk about The X-Files; we also hear about the chance opportunity that launched them into mainstream recognition and how being independent has allowed them to maintain a fanbase on their own terms. At the end, enjoy a clip of their song “California Gold” off their 2024 release “Time Is The Playground” and visit our YouTube channel next week on Thurs 12/11 to see the full performance.

Ben Mulwana "As Good As It Gets"

Thanksgiving time has us feeling extra grateful for our next guest, Ben Mulwana! Born & raised in Uganda and now residing in Wisconsin, Ben made a special trip to come talk to us about his journey to the U.S., how he turned music into a passion & career, and his thoughts on traditions from his former and current homelands. He played a new song for us called “Low On Luck” that’s a beautifully vulnerable and true account of his path to love (head to our YouTube channel on Thurs 11/27 to watch the full live performance!). Enjoy our chat with Ben Mulwana.
