We are stoked to have singer/songwriter, Producer, and entrepreneur Steve Kelly on No Simple Road this week! Steve reveals his compelling journey to recovery through perseverance, ingenuity, and strength. We also explore the vibrant history of New Orleans, diving into the city's music scene and the beloved Le Bon Temps Roule, a venue that has stood resilient through adversity, including Hurricane Katrina.

We chat about how musicians have navigated the financial and artistic challenges posed by the pandemic and the aftermath of major events like Hurricane Katrina. Steve touches upon the power of collaboration, recounting personal experiences with creative minds from all over New Orleans. The session becomes a testament to the ways artists can maintain their integrity while adapting to new circumstances, revealing the beauty of synergy and shared inspiration. These stories, filled with resilience and camaraderie, underscore the importance of community support and diverse income streams for musicians today.

As anticipation builds for Steve Kelly's upcoming album, "Here's the Thing," we delve into the collaborative spirit behind its creation. With the release date set for February 28th, we celebrate the harmonious blend of talents, including Nick on clarinet and Rick Nelson on string arrangements, who have each left their mark on this vibrant collection. As we close, we emphasize the irreplaceable magic of musical experiences, and encourage listeners to embrace the joy and connection that music brings to our lives.
