World Cafe 30th Anniversary episode with host Raina Douris

World Cafe has been showcasing significant music and the artists who create it for 30 years! To celebrate, we’ll look back on some of the show’s most memorable conversations and musical moments. Coming up, it’s Courtney Barnett – The Cafe was on to her before she even released her debut album, stopping by in 2014 to play her earliest songs, including “Avant Gardener.” Then, we’ll revisit a special 2018 performance from Amos Lee inspired by a little girl named Maya – or, “Mighty Maya.” And don’t miss the newest addition to World Cafe’s 30 Under 30 list!
