Tonight's lineup:

Utah's own Kate MacLeod has a new single, The Secret Forest Lament, inspired by Charles Bowden's book The Secret Forest. The creation, recording, and release of this song was made possible through the financial support of Utah Humanities, Utah Arts and Museums, and those who support MacLeod's projects through patreon.com/katemacleod. 

  • As mentioned by Kate and Lara, you could pick up books by Bowden at Ken Sanders Rare Books, 268 S. 200 E., SLC, which is in need of support during these uncertain times. Did you know Ken made one of the first donations to start up KRCL? Click here to check out the KSRB's online fundraiser, and check out new coverage from The Salt Lake Tribune or the Deseret News.

Make it Pretty Weber River cleanup begins tomorrow. Dawna Little Zukirmi of Destination Sports - Weber River Adventures and the Weber River Partnership shared ways the public can help clean up the Weber and possibly win prizes for their good deeds.
