Dori Freeman is an Appalachian woman using her music to break the stereotype of her region, which specifically is her town of Galax, VA - where she was born and still lives. Dori's new album, Ten Thousand Roses, is a celebration of layered sound, beautiful drums and lyrics from an evolving songwriter. Her voice came to us fully realized on her more traditional learning 2016 self-titled debut. Dori learned to sing among the circle of musicians she grew up surrounded by. Her father was the driving force for her guitar lessons, but her grandfather's playing style has still managed to seep into her own. She's named for her great-grandmother, who would have pursued playing music with more fervor had life not presented the responsibility of raising her younger siblings and then her own children.

Anjimile, ep. 102: Anjimile Chithambo, who uses his first name on stage, is a genderqueer Black singer songwriter making his way onto a larger radar with the debut album, Giver Taker. The artist appeared on some high-profile Best of 2020 lists (Namely NPR) and picked up two recent Boston Music Awards. Originally from outside of Dallas, Jimi was raised by Malawian parents, father a doctor and mother a computer programmer, his sisters encouraged him to join the choir and taught him harmonies at a young age. The guitar came along around 10 or 12 and soon an infinity with the instrument began, particularly with finger picking. Moving to Boston for music in 2011, he developed a drinking problem that led to entering rehab in 2016. During treatment, Jimi discovered that he was a trans and non-binary person. That realization led to the inspiration for many of the songs on the new record. Particularly the song "The Maker," which compares a redefinition of gender to one of faith. In talking abou

His band, Durham’s Hiss Golden Messenger, stopped by to play live at WYEP in Jan of 2017. They were the first band I interviewed after Tr*mp was inaugurated. Like a lot of people (and like the white liberal woman that I am), the state of things had shocked me awake. I decided to use my platform differently and this was the first interview where I attempted that and Mike picked up what I was laying down. I got him to talk candidly about Trump, he declared his band was against Trump and stood with marginalized people, but still invited anyone who supported Trump to his show. After that interview I felt some pressure and anxiety inside of me release and then I never forgot his grace and bravery.

Crys Matthews, ep. 55: Crys Matthews is the self-proclaimed "Poster Child for Intersectionality." While she'll say that with a smile, it's actually true: she's a black, lesbian, butch woman, formerly in an interracial marriage. Raised in North Carolina, her mother was a preacher, providing Crys with a rich backdrop of gospel music. She found music in 6th grade, first picking up the clarinet and then deciding she wanted to be a high school band director. In high school, she also came out to her mother which caused a lot of pain and friction between her and her mom who were otherwise very close. In college, Crys discovered performing and songwriting which caused her to pursue music. In our conversation, we talk about how she actually enjoys difficult conversations with people. Also, I asked her about the joyfulness you hear in her songs even when they are hard topics. We touch upon her new EP which is filled with very vulnerable and personal songs, more than her previous work. I enjoyed

Isa Burke With Lula Wiles Shares Her Fully Immersed Recording Experience At Great North Sound Society: Isa Burke grew up in South Berwick, Maine and the other members of her band grew up in Farmington, Maine. For a long time, Isa was very serious about the fiddle, but nowadays she’s 50/50 with the guitar and the fiddle. The fiddle is what brought these band members together - they all met at Maine Fiddle Camp. Lula Wiles recorded their first two albums at a studio in Boston, but their third album was recorded in June of 2020 at Great North Sound Society. For Isa, recording in Maine, “it was an amazing experience. I think one of the things that I like the most about working with Sam is he's down for whatever. He's not super married to any idea of what an album should sound like or what a song should sound like. He's really down to get creative and get weird. Tune in to learn more about Isa’s music career, her band Lula Wiles and more about her experience recording at Great North Sound S

Isa Burke With Lula Wiles Shares Her Fully Immersed Recording Experience At Great North Sound Society: Isa Burke grew up in South Berwick, Maine and the other members of her band grew up in Farmington, Maine. For a long time, Isa was very serious about the fiddle, but nowadays she’s 50/50 with the guitar and the fiddle. The fiddle is what brought these band members together - they all met at Maine Fiddle Camp. Lula Wiles recorded their first two albums at a studio in Boston, but their third album was recorded in June of 2020 at Great North Sound Society. For Isa, recording in Maine, “it was an amazing experience. I think one of the things that I like the most about working with Sam is he's down for whatever. He's not super married to any idea of what an album should sound like or what a song should sound like. He's really down to get creative and get weird. Tune in to learn more about Isa’s music career, her band Lula Wiles and more about her experience recording at Great North Sound S

Kaiti Jones, ep. 111: Kaiti Jones' vibe is truly chill with that special something that you experience in a real artist. She's got that thing that should propel her to great heights: her music is spot-on and as a human being, it feels like you're in the presence of some kind of greatness. Am I exaggerating? I don't know, but this woman is wicked cool. Her backstory starts in Portland, Maine with her hippie Christian parents, who met at a commune in the 60's. Kaiti learned violin using the suzuki method, which is based in learning by ear. After violin came training in piano, viola, french horn, cello and drums. She discovered songwriting when her mom read her diary and she found it a way to simultaneously express and deflect her feelings. Then she finally picked up the guitar in the church band and realized this would be the vessel for her songwriting. Kaiti moved to Cambridge, ten years ago, to do service work as an AmeriCorps volunteer and has found much inspiration in joy in service

Valerie June, ep. 143: Help produce Basic Folk by contributing at basicfolk.com/donate Editor's note: Lizzie No interviews Valerie June on Basic Folk! Be sure to got back and listen to Lizzie's previous guest host spots on the pod and subscribe, so you never miss Lizzie! Today’s guest, Valerie June, grew up as country as country gets in Jackson, Tennessee. She remembers writing songs at an early age with frogs and rainbows as her inspiration. Her musical world was divided between the church, where the voice was a tool for worship and instruments were forbidden, and the secular world where she helped out with her father’s side hustle as a promoter in the local music scene. After a stint in a band, June struck out on her own as a solo artist, influenced by the thriving Memphis musical community she found herself in. Her solo work is shaped by blues, folk, rock, and spiritual influences, and it was fascinating to talk to her about the role of intuition in her writing. Her latest album
