Episode 10! WooHOO! March happens to be Women’s History month, and it’s going to be a female-music edition of the show this week. My guest on this episode is a beautiful artist from central Massachusetts Morgan Alyse, and she also happens to be my first Massachusetts/New England guest! We had a fabulous conversation about her music, her first love the Ukulele, and being a woman in the music industry. You will also hear her latest single, Grow, during the interview, as well as a few other female/female-fronted artists. It’s not quite as long of an interview as my past ones have been, but that doesn’t make it any less packed with amazing conversation and music. Enjoy!

Starting out this new month with my first interview on the show! I've known Max Frost and his music for a decade now, and it was wonderful to catch up with him in his new home of Nashville.
