Nicole Laurenne interview extras

Since our interview with Nicole Laurenne included far more great topics of discussion than could be contained in a single hour, we're posting some of the exerpts from the interview that didn't make it to air. In these selections, Nicole discusses touring and maintaining a 50-year-old Farfisa Fast 3 organ, visiting the Farfisa in Italy, the differences in artist support between Europe and the US, how she manages her downtime, catching a surprise Mystery Lights show in the UK and the visual aspects of her performance. We hope you enjoy them as much as we loved hearing them.

The Yolo County Breakdown for 10:00am on Feb 28th, 2025

Jerry Douglas is everywhere! Without doubt, the dobro master shows up on more recordings that air on the Yolo County Breakdown than any other musician, and this week is no exception. Hear his wizardry as he plays with Del McCoury, Ricky Skaggs, Lyle Lovett, and his own band. But don't worry - another great dobro player named Rob Ickes also makes an appearance this week too!
