Class warfare rages in the music world:  the piano of chamber halls versus the pian-ee of honky tonks- the keytar of 80s glam stages versus…well actually nothing can compete with the keytar- and the violin of Royal Albert Hall versus the fiddle of Seamus’s barn. Why?! 

In this segment, Scottish musician and songwriter Hannah Read helps put an end to this senseless conflict. She details her musical journey from Scotland to the United States, her love of American Roots music, and her many sources of artistic inspiration. She is even kind enough to play some of her original material for us. Taking that generosity a step further, Hannah also shares some of her keen insight and advice to aspiring musicians- all with an irresistibly charming accent!

So if you’re in the mood for an “I-can-make-it” kind of story, want to discover some excellent new music, or love hearing people talk passionately about what they do, this one is definitely for you.
