Hot Club of Cowtown; Cotton Jones

The Austin-based Hot Club of Cowtown calls itself "the most globe-trotting, hardest-swinging Western swing trio on the planet." They'll be playing in Bloomington and Urbana this weekend, and I'll chat with fiddler Elana James on the Thursday edition of "Live and Local." We'll also hear about the folk-pop band Cotton Jones, in Urbana Thursday night.
