Mapping Cities in Song
For the first installment of 2nd Saturdays for 2026 we will be examining the city — not through transit schedules or zoning ordinances, but through the medium of acoustic music. Join host E.G. Phillips and featured performers JJ Schultz and Oscar Garcia for a series of songs that attempt to chart the emotional topography of urban life.
Hailing from the Wisconsin Northwoods, JJ Schultz captures the lonesome middle-America landscape with the wry clarity of Nebraska era Springsteen. Schultz's wavering vibrato captures the snap shots of everyday people surviving the life of rural America. The dusty barrooms, the front porch steps and farmer's fields are images delivered with a subtle passion that's balanced between sparse guitar picking and a poignant vocal delivery that is as distinctive as Jay Farrar and Townes Van Zandt.
