World Cafe Playlist for 08/11/2026

Andrew Sa joins host Raina Douris

On his debut album American Rough, queer country artist Andrew Sa writes about love, and the tension between who he is and the kind of person he falls for. On the World Cafe, Andrew Sa perform songs from that new album live, and we talk about how he grew up performing Patsy Cline tunes and how hearing Rufus Wainwright for the first time changed his life.

Listen to the session here.
