Heather Heyer was tragically murdered while peacefully protesting the Unite the Right rally in Charlottesville back in 2017. Shortly after, Becca Stevens was challenged by David Crosby, as a member of his Lighthouse Band, to write a song about Heyer. Typically a solo musician, she worked with over 40 collaborators on her latest album, Wonderbloom, on which the song "Heather's Letter to her Mother" is featured. She'll play that and some other tunes from the album, and tells host Raina Douris where the word "wonderbloom" comes from.

Hiss Golden Messenger is North Carolina singer-songwriter, MC Taylor. His latest album, Terms of Surrender, almost didn’t become a reality – The songs were so raw and full of truth, that he wasn’t sure he should release it at all. In the end, he decided what he’d written was too important to him not to release. And today, he plays some of the new music, live. Plus, Taylor talks about the importance of family, as well as his struggles with depression. That’s coming up, on this encore edition of the World Cafe with host Raina Douris.

World Cafe's Sense of Place trip to Charlottesville, Virginia wraps up with local bands David Wax Museum and Lowland Hum, who have created a unique way to experience music. For their project, called Concert in the Blind, the audience is blindfolded to heighten their sense of hearing, as musicians wander through the crowd. A live World Cafe audience experiences one of these performances today. Then, Desiré Moses of WNRN in Charlottesville tips us off to some emerging artists coming out of central Virginia. That’s coming up, on the next World Cafe.
