Etown travels to downtown Denver on Tuesday evening August 26th for a taping during the 2008 Democratic National Convention. Hosts Nick & Helen Forster will lead a celebratory revue featuring exciting musical performances by David Crosby & Graham Nash, Ani DiFranco, James Taylor and others TBA, inspirational conversation with influential policy-makers and personalities, and presentation of the E-Chievement Award in the classic Etown format which blends music and message to build community. The program will be recorded at one of Denver's finest venues, the Temple Buell Theater in the Denver Performing Arts Complex. [Etown @ DNC]
As a nonprofit, etown's mission is to educate, entertain and inspire a diverse audience, through music and conversation, to build a socially responsible and environmentally sustainable world. etown's broadcast emphasizes human commonality and collective responsibility for building a better, more sustainable world. The show has three key elements: 1) An eclectic array of world-class musicians (two per show) perform individually; 2) Each performing artist is interviewed on stage, with emphasis on exploration of the artist’s musical roots and musical and non-musical influences; and 3) Each show includes a live interview with the show's "e-chievement award" recipient. This individual, chosen each week through nominations from etown's national audience, is typically someone who has identified an environmental or social issue at the community, national or global level, and whose efforts are very effectively addressing that need.
