    Today up-and-coming indie singer/songwriter Laura Veirs joins host John Schaefer in the studio. Still riding high on the success of Carbon Glacier, her most recent CD released on Nonesuch records in August 2004, Veirs is about to kick off her 2005 tour tomorrow night at Lincoln Center, opening for Laura Cantrell's American Songbook, before continuing on to Europe. 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 tonight’s premiere of their collaboration with eclectic classical composer Ingram Marshall.
