World Cafe Playlist for 04/17/2025
Noeline Hofmann joins host Stephen Kallao
Noeline Hofmann grew up in Alberta, spending time herding cattle as a ranch hand. The 21-year-old singer-songwriter has a gift for conveying the imagery of the rugged West in songs like “Purple Gas”. Coming up, Noeline Hofmann joins World Cafe to talk about what being a ranch hand has in common with writing songs, and we’ll hear live performances recorded in studio.
