On this week’s episode of Acoustic Café, our in-studio guest is Tre. Charles. He just started his musical journey 5 years ago, and he’s already appeared at Newport Jazz, and on stage with Ondara, Fantastic Negrito and many others. When not touring, Tre is organizing an artistic community in his home of Chapel Hill, NC.

Also this week, cool stuff from our archives from Beck doing a Hank Williams cover, Regina Spektor and much more.
