Y’all, for a long time now, I’ve listened to Rising Appalachia while working my garden, walking the land, and finding my peace out here in the woods. One day, I saw something new coming out of their work: a collaboration of women called Starling Arrow. This wondrous group (featuring Leah Song and Chloe Smith of Rising Appalachia, Tina Malia, Ayla Nereo, and Marya Stark) came together during the darkest part of the 2020 pandemic. The result is nothing less than magical. One of these songstresses agreed to come onto the podcast in the middle of her busy schedule—and I couldn’t be more honored.

Join Marya and myself today on the porch as we chat about the healing, connective power of song and voice. And if you haven’t listened to their first album, “Cradle,” stop everything and give yourself the magic that is their lyrical storytelling.
