Jeanne McAdara - S1E9 Raw Songwriting

Jeanne McAdara writes songs from the perspective of her own experiences with—and compassion for—the tragic beauty of human frailty. Her lyrics remind us that even the best people sometimes do wrong in the quest to avoid facing down their fears, and they also remind us that even the worst people can find redemption if they have the courage to seek it. Through her poetic songs, her warm contralto vocals, and her spare playing style, Jeanne wishes to pull aside the imaginary veil between the mind and the heart, our past and our future, pain, growth, and the universal truths that make us human.

Dave sat down with Jeanne to talk about her typical songwriting process and how that compares to taking the Raw Songwriting Challenge. Along the way, they talk about the best environment to support your creative inspiration. Get ready for a raw and riveting discussion about song craft.
