#AppalachianMusic

In this soulful and thought-provoking episode, Appalachian musician Matt Mullins joins J.D. to talk about the craft of songwriting—and how the struggles, beauty, and contradictions of life in Appalachia find their way into every lyric.

Matt shares how artists like Bill Withers shaped his voice, opens up about the opioid crisis and its weight on the region, and reflects on the deep purpose he’s found in teaching the next generation. It’s a conversation about art, healing, and the responsibility that comes with telling the truth through music.
