Beauty of Upper Peninsula inspires Esto's new album

Listeners of NPR might have been surprised to hear a song about the U.P. winding its way through the breakfast-hour news this week. It's thanks to a Minneapolis musician, Esto, who recently released a whole pop-folk album based on a summer spent in the Keweenaw.
 
Excerpt: Today's Morning Edition music is from the Minneapolis singer Esto with "Brockway Mountain Drive," a song from his brand new album "Houghton-Hancock Hum-Alongs."
 
Esto, whose real name is Blake Morgan, is also a member of the popular vocal ensemble Cantus.
