    Natalie Merchant

    After making widely loved music as a solo artist and, beforehand, with 10,000 Maniacs, Natalie Merchant is focusing on children with her latest project, Cabinet of Wonder. Spurred by her work with Head Start preschoolers in upstate New York, Merchant set Mother Goose verses to music and collaborated with members of the Chicago Symphony Orchestra and Chicago Children’s Theatre to bring the recordings and videos to life. In this wide-ranging conversation, Merchant speaks of the allure and legend of Mother Goose; describes why working with children is bringing her more joy than pursuing another solo project; and reflects on joining 10,000 Maniacs at age 17, co-writing with band members, working with various producers and feeling compelled to leave after 1992’s hit-filled Our Time in Eden. Did she have any inkling that her first solo album, Tigerlily (1997), would propel her to new artistic and commercial heights? (Photo by Joe Mazza)

    Shane Grove: Songs, Shawshank, and the Ghosts in Between

    Shane Grove delivers mail in North Central Ohio five days a week. The other days, he's writing songs that end up in the hands of Tanya Tucker, David Allen Coe, and Eddie Montgomery — and he's got the stories to prove it, including the one about writing "A Million Reasons" on a notepad while walking around downtown Cincinnati, waiting to find out if David Allen Coe's federal court hearing had gone his way. Sarah sits down with Shane to trace a career that swings from a teenage stint as a background inmate in Shawshank Redemption to co-writing "Higher" for a Tucker/Montgomery duet, to his 900-episode paranormal podcast From the Shadows. Along the way: the real story behind Coe's on-the-fly rearrangement of "Corner of Cash and Co.," a late-night text thread with Tanya Tucker, Brandi Carlile, Miley Cyrus and Elton John, and why Shane thinks showing up — again and again, for decades — is the whole game.
