Art of the Song
Art of the Song is a one-hour, independently-produced radio show with music and interviews exploring inspiration and creativity through songwriting and other art forms. The program is heard on over 160 stations worldwide. Learn why songwriters and artists create, how they become inspired, and how you can tap into that creative source in every aspect of your life.
This week on Art of the Song our guest is singer-songwriter-music educator, Crys Matthews. A North Carolina native who now calls Herndon, Virginia home, she blends Americana, folk, jazz, blues, bluegrass and funk into a bold, complex performance steeped in traditional melodies and punctuated by honest, original lyrics.
A prolific lyricist and composer, Crys Matthews has found inspiration in her surroundings. Thoughtful, realistic and emotional, her songs speak to the voice of our times and remind us why music indeed soothes the soul. Coming up in the second half of the show, Viv Nesbitt offers an essay on “Balance” for the Creativity Corner.
