World Cafe Downloads

Every day during February the World Cafe was prepared to warm up your life with live downloads from recent World Cafe sessions. Bands included Lord Huron, Beach House, Afghan Whigs, Trey Anastasio and 16 more. Every week 5 new songs were added to our downloadable Soundcloud, By February 22 there were 20 new exclusive songs for you to enjoy. Here’s the catch: They were ONLY available for the month, and on March 1 they had to disappear like Spring snow! So take solace in the fact that these songs are still around for you to listen to streaming, and look for some more songs to come soon.

If you didn't get the tracks from the 20th anniversary, you can still get them here still. David Gray, Edward Sharpe & Magnetic Zeros, Dawes, Bon Iver and more!
