(Laura Veirs (Michael Wilson))
Today up-and-coming indie singer/songwriter Laura Veirs joins host John Schaefer in the studio. Her Nonesuch records debut, Carbon Glacier, was described by London's Independent as "a benchmark by which future Americana releases will be judged." Also, Andy Summers, rock guitarist and former member of the hit '80s band The Police, and Ben Verdery, classical guitarist and Yale music professor, drop by to discuss their collaboration with eclectic post-minimalist composer Ingram Marshall. This is an encore broadcast of Soundcheck.
