Cellist and songwriter Ben Sollee stopped by the show in June of 2018 and shared some common stories with Martha about their Kentucky ties. They performed the Stephen Foster song “Hard Times” and the band joined Ben for a few songs. The gifted crossover classical guitarist Drake Duffer is also on the show for the first time. He is a graduate of the University of North Carolina School of the Arts and the Yale School of Music, but grew up in Winston-Salem, North Carolina.
