Welcome back to Season 6! This week I’m joined by the amazing songwriter, singer, and guitarist Aoife O’Donovan. We get into all kinds of things about her spectacular new record “Age of Apathy” - how she approached songwriting and layering guitar parts, working with producer Joe Henry and remotely with musicians during the pandemic. We also talked about her history recording with Tucker Martine, and her other group I’m With Her. Whether performing solo, part of a collaboration with the likes of Chris Thile, Jerry Douglas, or I’m With Her, to her earlier band Crooked Still, Aoife has always pushed the boundaries of melody and song framework, and her voice is always spectacular. Enjoy, share and please subscribe wherever you get your podcasts!
