Howdy folks! This week, Libby sits down with Abe Partridge, who walks us from his years as a preacher into his life now as a multimedia folk artist. They talk about how making art became a way to heal after hard times, and how vulnerability fuels Abe’s process. The pair digs into the Eastern Kentucky scene and why small, independent venues are worth saving. There’s also a look at the music itself.. how blues and country mix in his work, plus a look at what’s next: a new album produced by Steve Shelley and plans for a label to help other artists.
