Welcome to Creede Musical Arts Collective’s new podcast, The Source! Named to honor Creede, home of the headwaters, the source of the Rio Grande, our podcast is hosted by Emily Murdock, CMAC’s secretary & treasurer. Emily recently embarked on a journey to sit down with some of our all-star artists, sharing behind-the-scenes stories, discussing the craft of music-making, and featuring performance clips recorded by Creede’s own Grammy-winning sound engineer, Steve Reynolds.
