Hello friends! Austin-based, singer/songwriter, Vanessa Lively is my guest for episode 881! Her new ep, I Am just came out in 2019 and is available wherever you stream or download the jams. Go to vanessalively.com for show dates, music and more. Vanessa started a non-profit called Home Street Music that empowers people experiencing homelessness through music. You can find out how to get involved at homestreetmusic.org. We have a great conversation about taking hiatus from her music career to have children and coming back with renewed passion, I Am, where she got the idea for Home Street Music, Folk Alliance and much more! I had a great time getting to know Vanessa. I'm sure you will too. Let's get down!
