She’s been a regular guest on Chris Thile’s Live from Here, co-wrote the theme to Parks & Rec and released nine albums of her unique fusion of soulful music. Performing on her birthday, Moreno encourages listeners to support the important work of the Guatemalan organization Fundal, dedicated to educating children with disabilities.

4pm CT/5pm ET – Silvana EstradaAt just 24 years old, Vera Cruz, Mexico, native Silvana Estrada is already making waves with her debut album album Marchita, slated for release on January 21, 2022, via Glassnote Records.
