Multi-talented musician and producer Josh Kaufman is known for his work with Josh Ritter, The National, and his band Bonny Light Horseman. I've known Josh for many years, after meeting him in Pittsburgh while he was on tour with Dawn Landes. I felt instant friendship with him (and honestly with the entire Dawn Landes band that day). We haven't seen each other very much over the last 15 years, but since he left that impression on me I've always rooted for him in his career.In our Basic Folk conversation, Josh shares anecdotes from his childhood, including memories of his journalist mother interviewing legendary musicians and the backstage snacks that left a lasting impression. He reflects on his early musical influences, the role of music in his family, and how his parents supported his passion for music from a young age. Then we dive into Josh's experiences playing in bands in New York City during his high school years and how those formative experiences shaped his relationship with music and the city itself.As a producer, Josh discusses his approach to working with artists, emphasizing the importance of capturing the raw, live energy of a performance. He talks about his instrumental album, 'What Do the People in Your Head Say to Each Other,' and how embracing imperfection has become a central theme in his work. He also touches on his collaborations with notable musicians, including Bob Weir of the Grateful Dead, and the impact of those experiences on his career. Josh Kaufman is the most sought out producer in roots music these days. Look out for him producing some great records in 2025 and beyond.Follow Basic Folk on social media: https://basicfolk.bio.link/ Sign up for Basic Folk's newsletter: https://bit.ly/basicfolknews Help produce Basic Folk by contributing: https://basicfolk.com/donate/ Interested in sponsoring us?

I woke up today and my wife told me the news. I went for a walk in the woods and found myself thinking about We Shall Overcome and singing it by myself surrounded by fallen leaves and pine trees. I put on Dawn Landes' new album: The Liberated Woman's Songbook, I thought about women of the past and how they found their strength. I started posting clips of women who appeared on Basic Folk this year. As I was listening, I wanted to put these voices together all in one spot because I found strength and comfort here. I hope it helps you, wherever you are, whoever you voted for.Take care today. We'll be here for you. Featuring voices of: lizzie no, Sarah Jarosz, Aoife O'Donovan, Dawn Landes, Amy Helm, Missy Raines, Peggy Seeger, Michaela Anne, Ana Egge, Denitia, Liv Greene, Kaïa Kater, Humbird, Leyla McCalla.Feedback?

Editor's note: For this episode, we invited our friend Dawn Landes to interview Peggy Seeger. Dawn was the perfect choice to interview the feminist folk icon. She recently joined us on a special episode with Aoife O'Donovan to discuss their feminist-themed new albums. We're thrilled to welcome Dawn back as guest host!I can't believe it took me 40 years to come across Peggy Seeger's music. I'm a little mad about this honestly, and have been trying to make up for lost time by diving deep into her songs and her story. I've been a fan of her older brother, Pete Seeger since I was a kid but didn't realize the depth of talent and reach in the Seeger family …they are truly Folk Royalty! Peggy Seeger is the daughter of a celebrated modernist composer and a musicologist who grew up with people like Alan Lomax and Elizabeth Cotten hanging out in her family home. At 89 years old she's released 24 solo recordings and been a part of over a hundred more. She's built her career on wit, incredible musicianship and unflappable activism.On this episode of Basic Folk, I am honored to talk with Peggy Seeger about her beginnings in feminism, her decades-long partnership with Scottish singer Ewan MacColl, the creation of the BBC Radio Ballads, the importance of hope and her dream tattoos! She even sang us a song from memory that I doubt she had sung in many years. Peggy is a repository of traditional songs and continues to tour and play music with her family as she's done throughout her whole life. Although she claims that she doesn't write anthems, Seeger's songs have become synonymous with women's rights and environmental activism. Coming from a woman who once sang her defense in a courtroom, we should all take Peggy's advice…“Something wrong? Make a song!”--- Dawn LandesFollow Basic Folk on social media: https://basicfolk.bio.link/Sign up for Basic Folk's newsletter: https://bit.ly/basicfolknewsHelp produce Basic Folk by contributing: https://basicfolk.com/donate/Interested in sponsoring us?

The singer-songwriter Dawn Landes has just released her new album, “The Liberated Woman's Songbook.” It was inspired by a 1971 book of the same name that chronicles the women's liberation movement through a collection of songs from the 1800s to early 1970. Dawn talks to guest host Talia Schlanger about the power of music as a tool for activism, finding solace and inspiration through the voices of women throughout American history, and why these songs still serve as a map for survival today.
A chance encounter in a used book store has brought us a stunning new record from Dawn Landes. Years ago, she came upon The Liberated Woman's Songbook, a 77-song collection curated by Jerry Silverman, who authored more than 200 music instruction books and was music editor for Sing Out! Magazine. Recently, Dawn teamed up with Josh Kaufman to produce an album by the same name, and has curated some truly spectacular live shows to celebrate both these songs from our history and some of the most amazing women in music today. The album came out on March 29, and Dawn has tour dates coming up, including one May 4 at Playmakers Theater in Chapel Hill. This was a fantastic conversation and we are so thankful to Dawn for coming on the podcast. Enjoy! Photo Credit: Heather Evans Smith
Coincidentally, long-time friends Aoife O'Donovan and Dawn Landes both have new albums with strong feminist themes, so I (Cindy) wanted to interview them together and talk about WOMEN. Aoife's album, All My Friends, is specifically centered around Carrie Chapman Catt, a prominent leader in the Suffragist Movement, and her work in the fight for the 19th Amendment. Inspired by speeches and letters, one song, War Measure, is even based on a letter of support from Woodrow Wilson to Chapman Catt. This album also marks the biggest project Aoife worked on with her husband Eric Jacobsen, who conducts the Orlando Philharmonic and the Virginia Symphony Orchestra. It's also the first record she's released since becoming a mother. Of her Daughters song she says she sings "as a modern woman, not wanting to leave the fight to the daughters of our daughters."Dawn Landes, also a mother, has a more broad focus with her new album The Liberated Woman's Songbook. The album features songs from the 1971 songbook of the same title to inspire second wave feminists' women's liberation movement and modern feminism of the 1970's. The songs on Dawn's album span from 1830 (Hard is the Fortune of All Womankind) to 1970 (There Was a Young Woman Who Swallowed a Lie as well as Liberation, Now!) showcasing how women of the past expressed political activism in the struggle for gender equality.Both Aoife and Dawn released their albums during Women's History Month, which leads to a discussion of what that means to each of them. We also talk about what is on their protest signs at the march, the Taylor Swift movie, gender stereotypes and, of course, all the waves of feminism. When thinking about the 19th amendment, we acknowledge that this only allowed WHITE women to vote. That leads to talk of how suffragists and feminist protest songwriters, like Meredith Tax, contributed to and gleaned inspiration from the civil rights movement. Aoife and Dawn are legends! We start with what their internal dialogue was like at first when undertaking these ambitious and important projects and end with Aoife putting Barbie on blast. All and all, this one's a winner.

Lauren Balthrop's Mobile, AL upbringing saw her soaking in the music of The Andrews Sisters, Steve Sondheim, R.E.M., Elliott Smith and Neil Young. As a child, she was involved in activities that varied from sports, to drama, to music and beyond. She never really settled on a passion, until she found acting and theatre. She pursued that dream from fourth grade until after college, moving to New York to go after auditions and acting parts. She found a soft landing in the city by moving in with her brother, Pascal. The two would then go on to form the large band, they called it a traveling small town, Balthrop, Alabama. From 2007 to 2012 they toured the country with as many as nine band members taking to the road. In this experience, she met Dawn Landes and Annie Nero, who she joined up for the harmony centered trio, The Bandana Splits.In 2013, she released a solo album under the name Dear Georgiana, which referred to Georgiana Starlington, the pseudonym she used in Balthrop, Alabama (everyone went by a character name). She called those "the songs her brother doesn't like," at least not for their band... After that, she wrote a bunch more songs that felt as though they were written in her own voice, which she released under her name as the album This Time Around. Her new solo album continues the sentence: Things Will Be Different. She's exploring the themes of change, upheaval and heartbreak while looking towards the future with hope. What's also cool for Lauren is that she's finding new meanings in these songs that differ from their original purpose. Lauren is a curious learner who seems like she's always got her antenna up. I love her new record: the lush sounds and humor are hitting me right. It was great to talk to Lauren in this medium! We have known each other for almost 15 years and have instigated many antics over the years. Enjoy! Advertising Inquiries: https://redcircle.com/brands
Rosie discusses how a seemingly simple question from one of her boys led her to think that really there was a deeper/bigger question being asked - essentially, “what do I have to do for attention, praise, or love?” In spotting that, and nipping that incorrect conclusion in the bud, it struck on an incorrect conclusion she had carried through her life from childhood, and only recently corrected herself. Listen along as Rosie talks to and comforts her younger, former self (Tiny Psycho Roise) and stays on alert with her own children to try to beat them to their own (incorrect/false) conclusions, so that they don't carry those misunderstandings or "child deduction" into their adult life. Parenting is already a tall order - raising them, teaching them, trying our best to answer their questions, but what about the questions they don't ask? The underlying questions they may not even know they're wondering, and the wrong conclusions they come to trying to put things together. Admittedly, that's a toughie, but let's try to be on the lookout for those, and try to cover things just in case. Just in case they're getting the wrong idea of what they have to do to get love, or to be loved, because what we want more than anything is for them to know that they are loved unconditionally. - Send Rosie your questions to have answered on a future podcast! - AskRosieLFP@gmail.com Brought to you by: Lullabies For Parents Vol 1 on Bandcamp, Spotify, Apple Music Featuring guest appearances: Sufjan Stevens, The Shins, Iron & Wine, Alexi Murdoch, William Fitzsimmons, Audrey Assad, Charity from The Head & The Heart, Kanene from The Lone Bellow, Dawn Landes, Denison Witmer, and many more.

Anxiety, depression, panic attacks. Generally dreadful stuff that we understandably try to avoid, do whatever we can to be free of, or just get past, but what if some anxiety was actually there to help you? Stay with me now! Why is it showing up? What if it's trying to get your attention to tell you something needs to change? What if you are coming undone because something new is emerging, because you've outgrown the old you, and the new you is trying to be re-born? What if you have to let some things go to make room for the new you? New found joys? New inspiration? What if that anxiety is actually you being transformed? It's uncomfortable and unknown, but it could be leading you to something new. A fuller you! Your true self. Let's talk about it! - Rosie touches on her own bouts with anxiety and panic attacks, and how something Richard Rohr said helped her unlock and identify some necessary changes she needed to make in her life and in her career. (the book mentioned - Falling Upward) *This episode certainly applies to parents, but is much broader and should be of interest and encouragement to anyone - parent or not* ***Of course there are many causes of, and many ways to deal with anxiety, depression, or panic attacks and this will not apply to all scenarios obviously, but an idea to consider and be curious about and investigate. Particularly entering, or in, the second half of life.** - Send Rosie your questions to have answered on a future podcast! - AskRosieLFP@gmail.com Brought to you by: Lullabies For Parents Vol 1 on Bandcamp, Spotify, Apple Music Featuring guest appearances: Sufjan Stevens, The Shins, Iron & Wine, Alexi Murdoch, William Fitzsimmons, Audrey Assad, Charity from The Head & The Heart, Kanene from The Lone Bellow, Dawn Landes, Denison Witmer, and many more.

Being a parent is really hard, and unfortunately it's really easy to get caught up comparing ourselves to other parents - Parents that seem to have it all together. Could be our friends, our own parents, parents we see on social media, even strangers at the store, at school, on a playground, wherever... But beware, it's a trap! Don't fall into that trap! Don't compare! Be yourself! Rosie walks you through how to do that by first identifying who you really are, and always have been. We need to lean into our strengths, and be our true selves, and by extension teach our kids to be their true selves too - wonderfully confident and self assured. Give your kids the unique adventure that only YOU can give them by being you, and let other people have their own by being them.

Tori Murden McClure was the first woman - and the first American - to successfully row across the Atlantic Ocean. She succeeded in 1999 after an attempt in 1998 was foiled by a hurricane. Her vessel? A 23 foot rowboat she had built and named the “American Pearl.” The story of her accomplishment has inspired the new musical “Row” - with a book by Daniel Goldstein and music and lyrics by singer-songwriter, Dawn Landes . The Williamstown Theatre Festival presents the World Premiere Musical “Row” directed by Tyne Rafaeli at The Clark through August 15. Please note, there is limited ticket availability. Dawn Landes and Daniel Goldstein join us, followed by Grace McClean , the actor portraying Tori Murden McClure in "Row." McClean's performances in previous projects have been called “electrifying” by The Huffington Post and “phenomenal” by The New York Times. In addition to performing on Broadway (Natasha, Pierre & The Great Comet of 1812) and Off, McClean makes time for her band Grace
This episode of Across The Margin: The Podcast celebrates, through an interview with director and playwright Daniel Goldstein, the release of the inspiring new musical Row, adapted from the moving memoir A Pearl in the Storm by Tori Murden McClure. Goldstein has directed over 100 plays and musicals worldwide, including work at major theaters across the United States and Asia. He was most recently represented on Broadway by the revival of Godspell and his Off Broadway credits include Walmartopia, Indoor / Outdoor, and Lower Ninth, to name a few. As a writer, Goldstein is currently under commission by the Public Theater, for which he recently wrote the musical adaptation of Tori Murden McClure's aforementioned memoir A Pearl in the Storm with singer/songwriter Dawn Landes. Row, which tells parallel stories of Tori’s journey across the Atlantic Ocean in a rowboat and through her life, is a heartbreaking and ultimately uplifting story of finding your heart in the middle of the ocean. It was scheduled to make its stage debut at the Williamstown Theatre Festival in Massachusetts in the summer 2020. Instead Row just made its world premiere as a recording available on Audible. In this episode host Michael Shields and Daniel Goldstein discuss the complexities of Tori Murden McClure’s inspiring journey across the Atlantic, the unique challenges of bringing a musical to life amid the pandemic, the weighty themes present in Row (faith, isolation, self-doubt, fear), the outstanding sound design featured in the performance, and ultimately, they celebrate the birth of the first ever traditional book musical.Listen to Row now at Audible!

Our guest this week, Tori Murden McClure, is a Renaissance woman. She has a law degree, a Master of Divinity degree from Harvard as well as a Master of Fine Arts from Spalding University, the institution where she currently serves as President. She was the first woman and first American to ski 750 miles to the geographic South Pole. She worked as an assistant to Muhammad Ali at the Ali Center, and has served as a chaplain in Boston area hospitals. But what she is most known for is her solo journey to successfully row a boat across the Atlantic Ocean in 1999. Ten years later, she published her memoir about that experience, A Pearl in the Storm: How I Found My Heart in the Middle of the Atlantic Ocean. Now, a little over ten years after publication, her book and story have a new life. A musical about her experience has been created, and her boat is part of the Frazier Museum’s Cool Kentucky exhibit. The book, which we discuss with Tori in this week’s episode, has a lot to do with 2020 in a roundabout way because it is about her battle with feelings of helplessness stemming from her childhood. And who in this world hasn’t been experiencing feelings of helplessness during this global pandemic? We can all relate to wanting to do something but not being able to. Tori talks to us about why memoir is in its own way is just another type of fiction, what completely different pieces of advice she received from her writing mentors during her MFA program that shaped her book, how her desire to write a book about a hero’s journey as a woman can be tricky and hasn’t been done often, and why we didn’t see her memoir as an Oprah book club selection. If you would like to see Murden’s sailless and motorless plywood boat The Pearl, it is on exhibit at the Frazier Museum in Louisville KY. This is a permanent exhibit but several items are on short-term loan. The album Row is a concept album about Tori’s journey rowing across the Atlantic written by Dawn Landes. It can be found on Amazon music. These songs are part of the musical Row which will be available via Audible in the Spring of 2021. Tori Murden McClure’s memoir can be found at your favorite bookstore or library.

On this episode of Baring It All with Call Me Adam, on the Broadway Podcast Network, I chat with singer/songwriter Dawn Landes about: Her original music Composing her first musical ROW Her Kentucky roots Rowing - the sport Rapid Fire questions End with Dawn "Baring It All" with something she's never talked about before Dawn is getting ready to release the music from her first musical, ROW (written by Daniel Goldstein) and inspired by Tori Murden McClure, the first women to row solo across the Atlantic Ocean. ROW was supposed to have premiered during the Summer of 2020 at Williamstown Theatre Festival, but due to the global pandemic, it was postponed. However, Audible has picked up the show to record in the Fall of 2020. Dawn has five previous albums under her belt, including one in French.

Songs such as “Try to Make a Fire Burn Again,” “Bodyguard,” and “Straight Lines” have built her reputation as one of our best independent singer-songwriters, showcasing an ability to tell stories that makes her the perfect choice to write the songs for a musical like ROW. The show’s songs not only resonate in these trying times, they also make up an album that is a remarkable production and a collection of moving, powerful songs that take us on a journey with an unstoppable woman. There’s the rousing show-stopper “Independent Spirit,” about conjuring all of our courage in the face of impossible odds, backed by a cooing chorus and lyrics that illuminate the long legacy of pioneers who refused to be quelled by daunting obstacles. Dawn has managed to create a soundtrack that is simultaneously consistent and eclectic. A lamenting fiddle drives the dreamy waltz “Dear Heart” while the Jewish music tradition steers the prayerful “Avinu Malkeinu, Star of the Sea” and elements of Shakespeare’s King Lear inform the tempest-conjuring “Third Storm, King Lear.” “Second Storm, Hamlet” showcases Sonus Choir, a Nashville-based classical a capella choir, in a collaboration that Dawn says was a highlight of the project. There is also the showstopper “Row,” in which the spirits of Dolly Parton, Tina Turner, and Cher, (voiced by singers Carly Johnson, Sheryl Rouse and Kimmet Cantwell, respectively) act as sirens of encouragement to the show’s heroine. Other guests include Will Oldham offering a moving reading of the tender love song “Second Time Around”; Brigid Kaelin providing soaring vocals on “Oh Amelia”, a duet with Dawn; Tyrone Cotton singing as Muhammad Ali on “What Would Odysseus Do?;” and Ben Sollee as Tori’s sweet middle school crush on “Ode to Eric Fee.” The guest list reads like a who’s who of Louisville-based musicians, fitting since it’s also the hometown of Dawn and the play’s subject, Tori Mulden McClure.

“These songs come from a place of exhaustion, bewilderment and pure love,” says Nashville-based singer/songwriter Dawn Landes of My Tiny Twilight, a six-song collection out May 10 on Yep Roc Records. “I found myself singing to my daughter constantly to soothe her, entertain her, and pass the time, says Landes. “The first song I wrote was “Hushabye.” I couldn’t get her to stop crying so I sat at the piano and played until she quieted down. She responded to the melody and it became pretty useful in those first months.” You can also hear the whole song 'I'm Your Mama' at the end of the show. How about the video that Dawn directed herself? Check it! https://youtu.be/ibw8RNiDybI Continue reading Episode #218 – Dawn Landes on the site.

Before becoming a fulltime performer/songwriter Dawn Landes worked as a sound engineer for many years. After studying for a bit at NYU she left school to pursue an internship at Phillip Glass' studio. Dawn tells me of the impact that Fast Folk had on her career and the role Suzanne Vega played in her life as Dawn’s mentor. We also get into the musical she is working on called "Row" about the very inspiring and fellow Kentuckian and rower, Tori Murden McClure, who aspired to row across the Atlantic Ocean.

Amid the cacophony of construction worker background noise, singer/songwriter Dawn Landes sits down for a chat about the making of her latest album, "Meet Me At The River" and how she pulled Fred Foster of Monument Records fame out of retirement to produce it.
LINDSAY LOU has been making beautiful, soul-shaking music for the last decade with her band The Flatbellys. This Michigan songbird has been featured in a number of the best acoustic music festivals in the US. Her singing floats over the instrumental mastery and deep groove of her band with dynamics that range from a lullaby to a battle cry. 2018 marks what might be the biggest year for the band, both sonically and with the fact that they are dropping “& The Flatbellys” from their name, a decision that seemed like the natural next step for them. The band is set to release their latest, a transformative and heart-wrenching album titled ‘Southland’. DAWN LANDES is one of the most fearlessly innovative musicians working today. Raised in Louisville, Kentucky, and Branson, Missouri, Landes cultivated her musical gifts not only through performing and songwriting, but also through learn-by-doing production work that eventually led her to co-owning a recording studio for a time. Over the years, she has collaborated with such contemporaries as Will Oldham, Justin Townes Earle, and Norah Jones. Her latest ‘Meet Me At The River’ is Landes’ self-described “Nashville record.” She has assured its pedigree by enlisting the production skills of Fred Foster, the Country Music Hall of Fame member and an an A-Team of Nashville musicians. WoodSongs Kid: Cash Staub is a twelve-year-old musician from Williamstown, Kentucky. He has a deep love of bluegrass and old timey music.

It's a year-end feast of sound and celebration as Roots closes a four year run at the Factory, with a gorgeous and wide ranging lineup. Modernist songwriter Anthony DaCosta pairs his spectral guitar and keening voice with the fiddle of Kimber Ludiker to open the show. And we close the night with another gorgeous voice - heck maybe the most gorgeous voice in roots music - the hit-making and heartwarming suzy Bogguss. In between, the elegant and talented Dawn Landes with music she's been working on in the studio with the legendary Fred Foster. (He produced Roy Orbison, don't you know) Also And the Whiskey Gentry play songs from their stellar 2017 album Dead Ringer.
The awesome Dawn Landes joins me this week to talk about her career and all things music. Great listen from a very talented lady. Also, Mike Smith is back with some hilarious stories from the road. Check it out!
После довольно долгого "молчания", продолжаю серию. Данный микс записывался на природе, под мелким моросящим дождиком, рядом со сладко пахнущей сиренью, оповещающей скорое наступление лета.Уверен, что начало трека большинству из Вас напомнит что-то дразнящее, сексуальное, глубина мыслей зависит лишь от фантазии. Пожалуй, один из самых мелодичных и красивых треков подарили нам Aly & Fila, совместно с Sue McLaren из Великобритании.Продолжим ambient-полётом вместе с норвежкой, у которой очень добрые глаза ), Run Baby...Юлия Смирнова и InWinter, прекраснейшая мелодика, ударные, взрыв чувст, эмоций, отдельное спасибо за "яму" и то, что идёт после неё. Зацепило.У Moonbeam нет плохих треков, стиль узнаваем, даже акустический. Открыл для себя новое имя, чистейший вокал Евы Павловой.Я ждал этот трек, не уcтану хвалить этот дуэт, Наташа Натюн, Ильдар. Мой поклон. Сложно описать всё то, что чувствуешь, слушая ваш I Need a New love.От чувст, переходим к индустриальному звуку, но не уходя от вокальных эмоций Изабель. Композиция настраивает на борьбу, силу воли, чтобы не случилось, быть сильными.Нежные, мечтающие фортепианные обьятия Daphne Khoo, приятно открывать новые имена. Надеюсь, что понравится.Lightweight, продолжит погружать всё глубже и глубже в свой мир спокойствия и колыбельных мотивов.Dawn Landes, саундтрек к фильму "Дикая грация" , в котором есть любимая мною Джулианна Мур. Немного фолк нот, для разбавления электроники. Волшебно. Особенно "воздушнейший" припев.Just One Day уже был в одной из частей, но в ремиксе от Moonnight, ещё нет...The Machine, очень необычный стиль от Мэри Ламберт. Ассоциируется с каким-то механизмом, старыми часами, леди сладко поёт, смотря на это с тоской, надеждой, в ожидании ласки...Chillstep мотивы продолжат путешествие по миру. Редкий, и глубокий Alive in the Fire.Если вы хотите приобщиться к современной классике, уверяю, что ему нет равных. Olafur Arnalds. Слезы на музыкальных инструментах...We Are Astronauts, почти все их композиции имеют определённое настроение. Для меня, это ночное небо полное звёзд, что-то загадочное, приложение "Star Walk", Никола Тесла, мысли о том, что земля лишь песчинка.Последний трек воспоминаний, незбывшихся надежд, трогательных моментов.Приятного прослушивания.Спасибо. 1.Ficci feat.
