Alayna Renae is a dear friend, Jazz singer, and activist in the Nashville area (originally from Kissime, Florida). We have been fairly tuned in to each other for most of our tenures in Nashville and enjoyed each others' performances many times over! I love Alayna's forward thinking approach to music and not feeling beholden to the tenants and pomp & circumstance of the genre she often is operating within (whatever that even means)...we had this convo a while back, maybe in June or July. I have to say, despite when this conversation was recorded, what we go over is as relevant as ever. So, enjoy this lovely convo with Alayna.
