Welcome to American Mosaic from VOA Learning English!I'm Steve Ember.On the show today, we play songs from artists who performed at last weekend's Pitchfork Music Festival.We also visit an independent craft brewery in Washington DC to learn about the American beer industry.But first, we hear about a group of military moms who are using music to help others.A singing group that began as a way to help mothers of soldiers deal with the horrors of war is now bringing cheer to civilians and others.The Swingin' Blue Stars formed just after the terrorist attacks of September 11, 2001.Almost 12 years later, the group is still performing.Christopher Cruise has more.Cindy Shon started the Swingin' Blue Stars. She says the group was never meant to be a long-term project.
