" I spent a thoroughly enjoyable hour with Connecticut’s current reigning State Troubadour Kristen Graves in WSHU’s Studio A earlier this week for airing on this program. Kristen is absolutely imbued with energy and creativity. She writes catchy songs and tells engaging stories, especially about her efforts working extensively with young people and those who are disenfranchised to use the arts to tap into their potential, become empowered and change the world.
I wrapped songs about autumn around the one hour spent with Kristen. Thanks to Kristen for sharing her music at Profiles in Folk and to Paul Litwinovich, WSHU’s head of engineering, who captured it in our computers and edited it.
