February 12, 2026: More music is better

Thursday continues to steal all of Friday’s thunder and today we have two musical guests making incredible sounds all over the area. The Iron horse in addition to its recently announced Playing It Forward Campaign is launching a new series anchored by the Deep River Ramblers, a hit list of local musicians. The Happy Valley Bluegrass Church is far more secular than its name implies, but we’ll get a taste of the community sing-a-long that the event aspires to be. Then the incredible versatility in both voice and guitar of Emily King joins us before her performance in Amherst tonight, Feb 12th, at The Drake. The much acclaimed artist who’s collaborated and toured with the likes of Sara Bareilles, Alicia Keys, Robert Glasper and many many others and we’ll get to hear how deft and heartfelt her sound is first hand. And our weekly chat with U.S. Rep. Jim McGovern touches on some of congress’ responses to yet still more Epstein files, the relief of Canadian tariffs, the ongoing issue of funding for ICE, and some of the nuances of how his office interacts with us: the public.
