On KGNU’s Morning Sound Alternative, host Ginger Perry spoke with the folk duo Rakish, featuring Conor Hearn and Maura Shawn Scanlin, ahead of their performance at eTown Hall in Boulder. The pair discussed their seven-year musical partnership, their blend of Celtic and Appalachian influences, and their experience recording several albums together and with other artists. Despite living on opposite coasts—Connor in Boston and Maura in Asheville, North Carolina—they continue to collaborate regularly, meeting before tours to prepare sets. (Interview: 10/14/25)
