What happens when your father is a musical legend? Louise & Blair explore the rewards, expectations and challenges of following a famous father, with music from Lukas Nelson, Arlo Guthrie, Justin Townes Earle, Teddy Thompson and Spencer Tweedy. From Willie Nelson and Woody Guthrie to Steve Earle, Richard & Linda Thompson and Jeff Tweedy, we discover five very different stories of musical inheritance - including one tragic tale and several remarkable careers forged in their own right.

For this special and sadly timed episode of The Real Americana with Louise & Blair, we remember the Irish troubadour Glen Hansard, who died recently following a motorcycle accident. From The Frames and The Swell Season to the Oscar winning film and stage show Once, and his acclaimed solo career, we explore the songs that tell his story including “Falling Slowly”, “Low Rising”, “Song of Good Hope” and more. A sad episode, but ultimately an uplifting celebration of an extraordinary artist. 🎙️🎸

Blair & Louise introduce one of Americana's great unsung singer-songwriters, tracing Peter Case's journey from power pop pioneers The Nerves and The Plimsouls to his acclaimed solo career. Along the way they explore his landmark 1986 solo debut, extraordinary storytelling, and the surprising connection between Peter Case and Central Otago's gold rush through "Farewell to the Gold". 🎙️🎸
