Kyshona

Episode 290: In a bit over a decade in Nashville, Kyshona has become a figure respected for her wisdom and valued as a songwriter/artist. Her 2020 album Listen, released just before the Covid shutdown, captured the zeitgeist of that troubled and strangely inspiring year, in part because a key part of the artist's background and calling is music therapy. Her ethos of continuity and community continues on the magnificent album Legacy, where her research into her family history blossoms into songs that draw from soul, folk and gospel. This is a wide ranging talk with a woman who approaches all that she does with a desire and a plan to leave the world a bit wiser and kinder than she found it.
