Hosted by Annie Bacon & Forrest Hejkal. Annie Bacon is a writer and songwriter living in Ann Arbor, Michigan (via Maine and San Francisco). With her OSHEN she merges a literary writing style and folk-rock Americana sound to create rich and emotionally complex music. The band's 2024 album Storm was praised as "a landmark release" (Glide), "mature and sophisticated songwriting" (AmericanaUK), and "brilliant nostalgic elegance" (The Wild Is Calling). She also hosts a monthly community open-mic, composed a folk opera, co-created a musical, and is working on a novel on themes of motherhood & war.
