Air Dates: Mar 24-Mar 30 eTown cooks up a fantastic show featuring the talented American indie band, CAKE. This group has built a huge base of fans who are drawn to their unique blend of pop, funk, jazz and rock. It's their first-ever visit to eTown! Then, hosts Nick & Helen Forster welcome back Chuck Prophet to the eTown stage. Chuck is an amazing singer-songwriter, guitarist, and bandleader who's released over ten albums since he started out on a musical career 25 years ago. He teams up with Nick & Helen and the ETones on some songs from his critically-acclaimed new release, Let Freedom Ring. The E-Chievement Award this week is presented to a Florida woman who was inspired to make a difference in the lives of those in need. Tune in to this week's eTown!
CAKE
 Chuck Prophet Chuck Prophet shapes his restless career with inimitable subtle flair: a vivid parade of razor-edged one-liners camouflaged in a slack-jawed drawl, songs about heartbreak and everyman heroism, drenched in twisted lines of rude Telecaster. When the early stages of a financial melt-down coincided with a rare San Francisco heat wave in the summer of 2008, Prophet wrote a collection of political songs for non-political people. Later, in April 2009, he journeyed to Mexico City, where, in the clutches of a Swine Flu panic and earthquakes, he recorded 'Let Freedom Ring!,' his most incendiary record, every bit as urgent as the title demands. e-chievement award: Krissy Todd, HOPE Foundation A profound experience with a homeless couple led Krissy Todd to found this nonprofit which aims to reduce homelessness in central Florida by closing gaps in services that exist. HOPE Foundation directs their efforts to those who not only are homeless, but especially at those at risk of becoming so. They help arrange shelter, access to food and other needs, and provide skills training, transportation, and more. They have a food pantry and thrift store, and through their work they have assisted over 50,000 people in need since 2007.
