Coming up on World Cafe Words and Music from WXPN, we hope you enjoy a concert with Edward Sharpe And The Magnetic Zeros. After making his musical entr?e with the dance-rock outfit Ima Robot, Alex Ebert formed a twelve-member ensemble behind his boyhood alter ego, Edward Sharpe. On their debut record, "Up From Below," Ebert and his cast revel in grand sing-alongs that range from folk ballads to gospel-tinged indie rock anthems. During this session, Ebert talks about the desert as a unifying symbol throughout the album, and he explains a certain childhood vision that influences his music to this day.
