#20: Lobelia Lawson
Episode description
Lobelia Lawson is a singer-songwriter, advocate of sustainable touring, curator of the positive songs project & head of programme implementation at the Better Points app. We talk about her life in music, grassroots touring as a new mother, how her husband helped her make & promote their breakup(which never happened) album, and how the lockdown has helped her write positive songs.
“That’s the thing of art. We’re reaching for something. I have a compulsion to create. I never understand why do we do this to ourselves. Really, I’m not a natural performer, I really struggle but I love it in some kind of weird way and I do always think ‘Why the hell am I putting myself through this?’ I’ll get really nervous and anxious before a gig and I think ‘I don’t understand the compulsion within me to make myself do these things’. Y’know, why am I doing it?”
