In celebration of International Women’s Day (March 8th) and National Women’s History Month, the Echo Chamber presented its annual “Beautiful Sounds of Women…Around the World” special. And what a varied list of
women singers & players we had on this year’s show…

Today we heard some live tracks by Nikki and the Ruemates from a concert at Hosmer Library in February in 2009. Recording engineer was Mario Vano.

During the second hour we heard an interview with Yilma Woldemedehen, who plays the Massinko, a one string fiddle from Ethiopia.

This week, we included a salute to songwriter Bobby Braddock during the second hour of the show. Mr. Braddock is being inducted into the Country Music Hall Of Fame later this year.
