  • SHEROES Live at Newport Folk 2024 with Joan Baez (birthday edition!)
    Jan 10 2025
    We've dressed up and lit 84 birthday candles for Joan Baez this week with a newly refreshed version of our interview at Newport Folk Festival six months ago. Newport was where an 18 year old Joan Baez got her start in 1959, and where she returned last summer for the first time since 2009 to share some of her poems from her new poetry book, When You See My Mother Ask Her To Dance. She reads from her book during our conversation, and treats us to a powerful impromptu a-capella song.

Amy reflects on her path of revealing more of her own inner world in her songs, and discovering how much she has to share that can inspire and uplift others.

  • A SHERO's Journey: Kathleen Edwards
    Dec 6 2024
    Singer-songwriter Kathleen Edwards returned with her first album in eight years in 2020 called Total Freedom, only to have her comeback thwarted by the pandemic. Earlier this year in Austin, Texas, Kathleen sat down with Carmel Holt to talk about that experience, as well as her then-upcoming series of cover songs she was recording. With a whole lot planned for 2025, including her sixth studio album, produced by Jason Isbell, we get a sneak peek at the newest addition to that series coming on December 11th, and hear why, when she quit music, she wanted to talk to Joni Mitchell.
