Had Brooke Fraser on the phone for the last half of the show. One of the most inspiring artists I've had as a guest thus far. When she's not busy touring, she goes to Rwanda as part of a growing effort to rebuild the war-torn country. The title track of her latest release, Albertine, is named after a little girl she befriended in Rwanda. Oh, and did I mention she's from New Zealand, and both albums have gone multiplatinum in Australia and NZ?

Yeah, and she's coming to Portland, this Thursday, June 12. Gonna be an amazing show. Opening for her is William Fitzsimmons. You may recognize him from this program, he was a guest a while back when we was in town with the Hotel Cafe Tour.

So, Thursday, June 12, Doug Fir. www.dougfirlounge.com
