Kathleen Smith is a breath of fresh air. Truly an artist that has taken control of her own creative destiny, Kathleen tells the story of building a recording studio in an old barn in the mountains of New Mexico. It’s there she taught herself how to engineer and produce and the result is a new, deeply personal album called Medicine, Vol. I. that will be released this spring. Kathleen lets us in on how the confluence of art, books, nature and being with friends come together to inspire her songs. During the show, Kathleen performs three songs from her upcoming album live from the Joy Sounds studio: “Carpe Diem,” “I Forgive You (But I’m Still ‘Effin Mad),” and her brand new single, “I Can See for Miles.” The next few months are going to be very exciting for Kathleen and you will want to keep up with her by following @kathleenmusic
