102. Ever More Nest
b'A native of North Louisiana, Ever More Nest\\u2019s Kelcy Wilburn (\\u201cKelcy Mae\\u201d) is as equally influenced by the gospel, country, and blues of her Bible Belt hometown as she is by the emotional rawness of the artists that consumed her generation: Cranberries, Counting Crows, Tori Amos, Radiohead, et al. At 18, she moved to New Orleans, where open-mindedness and acceptance gave her the freedom to be herself and to find her voice. As a student of creative writing, she fostered a love of language evident across her early releases as Kelcy Mae and across Ever More Nest\\u2019s debut and sophomore albums. (evermorenest.com)\\n\\nKelcy and I met at FARM (Folk Alliance Region Midwest) near Chicago this past October. I immediately took a liking to her music and personality, and was excited to get to speak with her on my show. The two of us are also connected through our mutual friends, Louise Baker and Bruce Swan of Baker Booking. (Bruce was on episode 89 of MCRS)\\n\\nOur conversation delves into Kelcy\'s childhood and roots in music, her new album ("Out Here Now" - Aug 19, 2022), and her extraordinarily written website bio. EMN is also releasing a single, "Happy New Year" on December 2.\\n\\nIf you enjoy the podcast, please let others know, subscribe or write a review. 5 star ratings and reviews on Apple Music as well as subscribing to my YouTube Channel help out the most!\\n\\nIF YOU\'D LIKE TO SUPPORT THE PODCAST IN A MONETARY WAY, I\'M NOW ON PATREON! www.patreon.com/andysydow\\n\\nGuest Links:\\nWebsite: https://evermorenest.com\\nEver More Nest on Spotify: https://open.spotify.com/artist/4SyLT21Hx2AptF6kdopLqL?si=wlxO-iwwRPG1UG0hrAfxZA\\n\\nEpisode Music:\\nOriginal music by Andy Sydow\\n\\nSponsors:\\nA huge thanks to our sponsors, PQ Mastering and Narrator RF.\\nFor any sponsorship inquiries, shoot me an email at middleclassrockstar@gmail.com\\n\\npqmastering.com\\nnarratorrf.com'
