EARS: Everyday Artists. Real Songs.
A song you never heard by an artist you don't know, and a chat with the songwriter. We dig into the stories and the strange magic behind original songs. Each episode features a track by someone who might not do this for a living, and a conversation about where the song came from. It’s about process, inspiration, and the search for something true. Do you have a song we should talk about? If you've got any thoughts, ideas, comments, or just want to say hi, holler at EverydayArtistsRealSongs@gmail.com. I'd love to hear from you!
