Bluegrass Jam Along

Bitesize - Rachel Baiman on Connection, Conversation and Community in Music


Listen Later

This Bitesize episode comes from an interview I did in April 2023 with Rachel Baiman about her wonderful record Common Nation of Sorrow

I re-listened to the episode (and the album) recently and this section really stood out. We chat about storytelling in music; the power of infusing a song with emotion; the importance of connection and conversation and how music can foster community.

I really enjoyed this and found it thought provoking to listen back to. I hope you find something interesting, inspiring or meaningful in it too. Do go and listen to Common Nation of Sorrow  as well! Links below for more info on Rachel and to buy her music.

Happy picking!
