Chris Thile hosts his public radio show, Live From Here, from a sold-out show at its new home, The Town Hall in New York City, on Saturday, with special guests Rachael & Vilray, Paul Simon, Mavis Staples, comedian and actress Janeane Garofalo, and writer Brian Platzer. Folks in the US can tune in on their favorite public radio station this weekend and around the world via livefromhere.org, starting at 5:45 PM ET.

Lake Street Dive singer-songwriter Rachael Price and composer, singer, and guitarist Vilray head out on tour in support of their self-titled debut album, Rachael & Vilray, next week. “The voices of acoustic duo Rachael & Vilray are magical enough on their own,” writes Chronogram, “but when they blend in song the results are utterly sublime.” The New York Times says the album is “as cozy as it is sophisticated.”

Devendra Banhart continues the Western US leg of his tour featuring music from his new album, Ma, with two shows in California, at The Yost Theater in Santa Ana tonight and Observatory North Park in San Diego on Saturday, and a concert at Crescent Ballroom in Phoenix, Arizona, on Sunday.

Gaby Moreno continues her European tour at Razzmatazz in Barcelona on Friday. She heads to Germany for a concert at Kultur Forum in Brackenheim on Saturday before returning to Spain to play Sala BBK in Bilbao on Sunday.

¡Spangled!, Moreno’s new album with Van Dyke Parks, is “a luscious, string-laden collection of songs,” writes the Guardian, “celebrating the music of the Americas from Panamanian bolero to Brazilian bossa nova. Accompanied by storied producer Van Dyke Parks, Moreno presents a beguiling argument for the power of musical migration.”
