This was an incredible documentary filmed over more than thirty years that highlights how the US economy has impacted two families from Milwaukee, Wisconsin www.pbs.org/wgbh/frontli...

Congratulations to former fellow Tom Casciato and his @okapifilm.bsky.social team, who produced "Two American Families" with Bill Moyers over the course of 30 years. The film won an Emmy this week on the same day Moyers died at age 91. www.pbs.org/wgbh/frontli...

Jackie Stanley, whose tenacity and devotion to her family inspired public media audiences for decades in FRONTLINE's "Two American Families" documentary series, has died at the age of 70. Her love for her children and her husband of more than 40 years was a primary thread throughout the series.

Singer-songwriter and mandolinist Sierra Hull was featured on a recent segment of PBS News Hour's arts and culture series, 'Canvas.' Watch Hull discuss her musical journey, lessons learned from Alison Krauss and more www.jambase.com/article/sier...

The great Sierra Hull joined me on @pbsnews.org to talk growing up a prodigy in a tiny TN town, worshiping @alisonkrauss.bsky.social from afar before being mentored by her, and scaling the heights of bluegrass and beyond. They really need to make a mandolin emoji. www.youtube.com/watch?v=YzqV...

RIP Jill Sobule. She was really good. 🎸🎤

One of the greats, sad day.

Neko Case has won acclaim as both a singer and songwriter. Now, she’s out with a memoir that reveals her difficult journey to stardom.

I'm joined by singer/songwriter @NekoCase on @pbsnews.bsky.social to talk about her new memoir - about growing up in solitude, her musical influences, her music and what I call her lifelong antidote to loneliness. @nekocasefans.bsky.social 🎸 www.youtube.com/watch?v=zhMg...

I have some King Cole Trio recordings somewhere and they're incredible. Had he never gone on to pick up a microphone, he'd have been remembered as a pianist with his own style and an innovative approach to leading a trio.

Author and record producer #JoeBoyd (#PinkFloyd, #NickDrake, #R.E.M, #MariaMuldaur) joins me on @pbsnews.bsky.social to discuss his new book, "And the Roots of Rhythm Remain." which chronicles Western popular musics's debt to music from around the world.

Thanks International Documentary Association Awards for the nomination for Kathleen Hughes's and my PBS Frontline film “Two American Families 1991–24.” It's a very personal economic history of working America. Please look for it on YouTube or PBS.org

I'm joined by singer/songwriter Jon Muq on PBS NewsHour to talk about his extraordinary journey from the outskirts of Kampala, Uganda to Nashville to make his debut record prod by Dan Auerbach of the Black Keys 🎸https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Pyyn5tWGOP8

A new song from Yasmin Williams pairs her cascading strings with a vocal float from @odonovanaoife. The new song swells with joy. With its auburn sunlight hues and dewy aura, “Dawning” paints with sure strokes that circle the soul. bit.ly/3LyHA7c
