World Cafe Playlist for 04/22/2024

Grace Cummings joins host Raina Douris

When you hear the power and intensity with which Grace Cummings sings, you can’t help but stop and listen. Earlier this month she released Ramona, the follow up to 2022’s Storm Queen. On the next World Cafe, we celebrate the new album by taking a listen back to her first visit to the show. Hear her talk about writing Storm Queen and some one of a kind live recordings.
