Let Us Know What You Think of the Show!Date: June 11, 2025Name of podcast: Backstage Pass RadioS8: E9: Liz Spencer - From Silence to StageSHOW SUMMARY:"My ability in music kind of made me stand out," reveals singer-songwriter Liz Spencer in this candid conversation about finding her musical identity. From playing melodies by ear on a toy piano at age four to becoming a full-time musician after a decade-long silence, Spencer's journey is both heartbreaking and triumphant.  The New England-based artist shares how cancer and the loss of her best friend silenced her creative voice for ten years until an unexpected connection with actor C. Thomas Howell reignited her passion through acting lessons that transferred to music. "Once the floodgates opened and I was able to write again, I realized that I can't ever not do this," Spencer explains, describing the moment she committed to music despite the fears and perfectionism that had held her back.  Spencer discusses her recent single "Losing Hand," a powerful anthem born from relationship deception, and her duet "Annie" with fellow New England musician Nick Bossy. She reveals the challenges of balancing performing with songwriting, having played over 80 shows last summer while still developing her catalog. Now working on "3000 Miles," a song about the geographical distance between her and her husband before their paths crossed, Spencer continues to push herself toward greater vulnerability in her writing.  What emerges most clearly is Spencer's evolution from concern about external validation to creating authentic music for herself first. "I decided that this is for me and this is what I want to do," she says of her musical rebirth just three years ago. For anyone who's ever set aside a passion only to rediscover it later, Spencer's story serves as powerful inspiration to follow your creative instincts regardless of timing or perfection.  Check out Liz Spencer on Instagram @lizspencermusic and experience her captivating blend of storytelling and soulful performance that proves it's never too late to claim your artistic voice.Sponsor Link:WWW.ECOTRIC.COMWWW.SIGNAD.COMWWW.RUNWAYAUDIO.COMBackstage Pass Radio Social Media Handles:Facebook - @backstagepassradiopodcast @randyhulseymusicInstagram - @Backstagepassradio @randyhulseymusicTwitter - @backstagepassPC @rhulseymusicWebsite - backstagepassradio.com and randyhulsey.comArtist(s) Web PageFacebook: https://www.facebook.com/lizspencermusicInstagram: @lizspencermusicCall to actionWe ask our listeners to like, share, and subscribe to the show and the artist's social media pages.

In episode 299, Kestrel welcomes Liz Spencer, the natural dye wizard behind Dogwood Dyer, to the show. With experience in both tending organic natural dye gardens and coaxing color from plants, Liz has devoted her artistic practice to discovering as much as possible about color that can come from plants. “That's sort of the pathway to understanding — is having the time to be intimate with one thing in particular like indigo or any dye plant, especially if you're growing your color, or even growing your own fiber — is spending a whole year just getting it to where you have the raw material, and then starting the process of creating the color or creating the textile. It really affords you ample time to ask many questions, and to holistically get to know it.” -Liz Something that's super important to me within this conversation is cultural sustainability – and ensuring we are acknowledging and respecting the roots of cultural traditions and craft techniques that have origins within many Black and Brown Indigenous communities.  As many of you have heard my guests and myself talk about over the years – the mainstream sustainability movement has done a lot of stealing and co-opting of knowledge and ideas, without crediting where these concepts originated.  Ever since I read an article by Nathalie Peña in Katie Pruett's Ethical Style Journal, I instantly think of these realities with regard to natural dye techniques.  For example – the dusty pink color, also known as millennial pink – that has been trending for the last several years has origins in Mexican culture, with the color being derived from avocado pits. But rarely do we hear this origin story from natural dyers or folks using these techniques in the space today. This week's guest has a voracious curiosity when it comes to all things natural dyeing. She has been growing plants for natural color and experimenting with adding color to garments using natural dyes for years now.  As a white woman in the sustainability space, I admire the deep learnings Liz has collected, with regard to the cultural origins attached to the techniques she uses, and the ways she continues to work to find creative and thoughtful ways to honor these roots.  We get into these layers, as well as more on the differences between synthetic, biosynthetic and natural dyes, and some nuanced thoughts around the so-called *scalability* of natural dyes. Quotes & links from the conversation: “Cultural Sustainability and Natural Dyes in Fashion”, article from Ethical Style Journal that Kestrel mentions in intro  “What are biosynthetic dyes & could they replace the toxic petroleum-heavy ingredients in today's predominant indigo garment dye?” (Conscious Chatter episode 274 that Liz mentions) “Those stable colors, I feel are worth the investment, but it just takes more time. And so, that's the biggest difference between retrieving brilliant colors with natural dyes vs synthetic dyes. And each has its consequence. One is — with natural color, more time investment. And then, one is — with synthetic dyes, the potential for having to problem solve when it comes to the product, the potential toxicity of synthetic dye effluent and what's left over that's really not biodegradable.” -Liz (29:27) “I think it's really important for anyone that gets into natural dyeing or starts on a path to do conscious digging and question-asking when sourcing the dyestuffs, and then of course working with them. Because you invariably will uncover complicated and painful context of history of these beautiful colors. I always recommend too — if you have the privilege to work with any of the dyes, in situ of their native habitat that they come from, or if you've worked with any of the dyers who hold the dye knowledge within their cultural and historical lineage — to share their work and to encourage others to seek out from them, to go and learn from them if they're seeking students. It's really important to understand the provenance and the historic context of the material for the artist, I believe — it's part of exploring the dyes and then paying respect to all of those who have contributed to millennia of this knowledge base that we all now benefit from.” -Liz (35:26) Stony Creek Colors American Grown Indigo Natural Dye Podcast Highlights Listing BIPOC Natural Dyers/Artists/Farmers/Educators Green Matters Natural Dye Co & Botanical Colors (natural dye houses scaling dye production in the U.S.) 'Earthcolors by Archroma' (making biosynthetic natural dyes from agricultural waste) Bio Black Dye by Nature Coatings (biosynthetic dye made from wood waste) The Dogwood Dyer Educational Subscription 'A Year in Natural Dyes' (natural dye knowledge for anyone) Dogwood Dyer Website Follow Liz on Instagram >

Liz really walks me through her educational experience relating to fiber art and how it led her to where she is today - from the London College of Fashion to working as a seamstress. Liz had what she refers to as a “backwards approach” to natural dyeing, beginning with gardening natural dye plants before ever dyeing with them. She has experienced many forms of fiber and many ways of relating to the medium, but she feels like natural dyeing is the one that’s really stuck and is one she continues to practice and learn more about every day. Liz explains how she’s made her practice work, from a small apartment in Brooklyn to a family home in Riverside - alongside raising children and teaching in academic institutions. What I really appreciate about talking to Liz is her honesty and sincerity - it’s so clear how much Liz loves and is fascinated by natural dyeing, and I loved how she really tells us about how she’s made it work for her and how she and her family plan to make it work in the future. She’s certainly a person whose work inspires me endlessly, so I’m excited to share with all of you what she had to say!
