Despite sad circumstances, Jesca Hoop found an uplifting and inspiring way to work through grief: writing songs full of beautiful, disturbing and poignant images for her new album, 'The House That Jack Built'. The California native is now living in the UK, but came back to the U.S. for a tour with Punch Brothers, and Jesca was joined by Aoife O'Donovan when she performed a few of her new songs during an interview with FUV's Kara Manning.

Chris Masterson and Eleanor Whitmore each have long resumes in music, but the couple has just released their debut album as The Mastersons, called 'Birds Fly South', and they recently performed a few songs at FUV. Says host Claudia Marshall: 'Chris Masterson was wearing the geekiest glasses I think I have ever seen (high praise coming from me, as I have some pretty nerdy-looking vintage frames myself), and Chris and wife Eleanor also share my love of a pricey, British shoe designer.
