In this interview, Carol sits down with Courtney Hartman, one of the most gifted female guitarists in the folk and bluegrass world. Courtney is a flatpicker at heart, lining her melodies with graceful vocals of thoughtfully written words.
She speaks of life in seasons; and how growth, stillness and change shape both her personal journey and her relationship with music. On this episode, she shares deep insight into how she experiences music in an inspiring look at what it means to live a musical life with intention.
Throughout this conversation, we discuss her formative years, old and new albums, collaborations with some of the biggest names in folk and bluegrass, creative freedom and inspiring figures.
This episode is an invitation to listen closely: to the strings, the stories, and the seasons in between.
