Happy Episode 10 of What the Folk! We’re joined by the fabulous and multi-talented Lola Darling for a conversation about how art can heal and how to live your life as an act of resistance. We also get a preview of her new musical oracle project! From Lola’s struggle to claim her own identity to Covid on the reservations, from Kerrville Folk Festival to Mardi Gras, this episode is an emotionally honest and eye-opening journey. Featured music is "Breath," "Nothing," and "Daughter" by Lola Darling, courtesy of the artist.

She currently lives in Bulbancha (New Orleans, LA) creating art in different mediums.

This week, Nick & Joy talk about style vs influence. How do you create work unique to yourself without ripping off someone else. We talk the fine line between creating a style based on influence and just copying something else. We look at a couple of current cases in art too. Listen in for our thoughts on style vs influence.
