Episode description

Silvia Passiflora comes in all the way from Nashville, Tn to perform some Gothic folk music & spoken word for you on her banjo and ukulele.

Silvia Passiflora is a Southern Gothic folk poet and Grammy®-considered songwriter who guides listeners with ukulele, banjo, and spoken word — offering safe passage past life's cliffhangers. Her 2025 releases, alongside the single Pokeberry Letter (Grammy®-considered for Best American Roots Song), showcase a voice rooted in lyric precision and lived narrative. Born in the Philippines and carried to Hawai'i's shores, Passiflora grew up among gardens and kitchens, learning patience, craft, and the quiet discipline of observation. A classically trained chef, certified master gardener, sommelier of rare bottles, and meticulous keeper of metadata, she gathers each discipline like heirloom seeds, carrying them into her creative life on stage and in the studio. With more than 1,800 poems and an expanding body of poetic screenplays, including the serialized Midnight Fields project, her work moves seamlessly between page, performance, and cinematic form. Her catalog reflects a rare wit and a distinctive narrative signature. Traveling across Athens, Atlanta, Charleston, and Nashville, her performances capture the electricity between a story and the crowd leaning in to hear.
