O, say can you see... well... I guess... "hear" in the case of our podcast... aaaanyway... In honor of the different American holidays we've passed around this time of year, we wanted to create an episode focused on artists and composers who hail from this nation! Their unique styles are so inspirational that we couldn't resist doing an episode specifically on them. We hope you enjoy this celebration of the diverse and immense talent that has stemmed from America!
