Big Thief joins host Raina Douris

Next Friday, Adrianne Lenker, lead singer of Big Thief, will release her fifth solo album, Bright Future. On the World Cafe, hear about the band’s last album, 2022’s Dragon New Warm Mountain I Believe In You. It is whimsical, adventurous, and creative – and that’s because the members of the band have created a space together where experimenting is welcome, and love and support are key. You’ll hear a conversation with Big Thief and live recordings
