On KGNU, Dan Willging interviews Colorado songwriter Martin Gilmore, who recently won a New Folk award at the 2025 Kerrville Folk Festival. Gilmore talks about teaching, his success at Kerrville, Lyons, and Telluride festivals, and his new album Thea Is a Light Blue, inspired by Boulder artist William Stoehr. He performs two original songs, including a Jimmie Rodgers tribute, and reflects on songwriting, collaboration, and finding a kinder inner voice. (Studio Session: 8/19/25)
