Carolyn Kendrick's California childhood was filled with music: from listening to music to musicians in her family, especially her father, a professional jazz drummer. Having a well revered musician in her family meant overcoming a reputation that preceded her, but it also gave her a special relationship with the beat as a guitarist and a fiddler. She talks about her connection to rhythm and how it lives strongly in her and her songs. I first met Carolyn at The Miles of Music Camp on Three Mile island in New Hampshire, which is one of the most wonderful music communities you could find. She has found many communities in her life like at Berklee College of Music, in Austin, Nashville and very recently, in Maine.She's been living in rural Maine throughout the pandemic with her husband, Alex Steed. The two of them started a podcast called You Are Good - a feelings podcast about movies. Alex and the writer Sarah Marshall (who also hosts You're Wrong About) dig into movies every week with a special guest. Carolyn produces and writes a song inspired by the movie or covers a song from the soundtrack. Carolyn is an exquisite editor for the pod and she gets into how that has translated into her musical life. Make sure you listen to You Are Good, right after this episode and after you listen to her EP Tear Things Apart!
