We are so excited to have Crystal Lariza of Never Come Down wtih us on No Simple Road this week. This episode spotlights the vibrant experiences of Never Come Down, a band that has carved its path across borders and bluegrass festivals, becoming musical ambassadors on a global stage.

Excitement and exploration define our conversations with Crystal, as she shares insights into their transformative performances across Europe and beyond, including their pioneering impact as the first bluegrass band to grace the stage in Bosnia. The band's dedication to music education and cultural exchange shines brightly, emphasizing the universal language of music that bridges cultural divides. Through stories of cowboy hats, jam circles, and collaborations, we uncover the rich tapestry of influences that shape their unique sound and creative process.

This episode isn't just about music; it's about the human connections formed through shared passions and the unpredictable paths life offers. From the intimate tales of life's lessons in the Methow Valley to the shared moments of camaraderie on tour, we explore themes of authenticity, community, and the beauty of the present moment. As we reflect on these stories, we're reminded of the wisdom in embracing the unexpected and cherishing the journey, with gratitude and a smile.
