Madelyn Read on Whimsy, Friendship Breakups, Staking Her Claim in Alt-Country, and Grant Writing Tips
Episode description
Alex and Karen are joined by musician Madelyn Read to talk about the path she is carving for herself as an alt-country artist in the Vancouver music scene. They discuss everything to do with her new album Concrete Country, including the grant-writing process that provided her with a “contractual obligation” to complete the project, as well as the different songwriting processes she implemented for each tune. They also talk about the nuances of friendship; holding space for your emotions and creativity; finding authenticity when making art; and the importance of incorporating whimsy into your everyday life.
