Today’s episode is a bit of a different one. It’s the first episode where I don’t dig into an album with an artist. I came across the Minnesota Original Music Festival a few years back, and was curious to learn more. It seems set up differently from other summer music festivals, and I was excited when the Director Eli Hoehn agreed to come on and talk about it.

Today’s episode has us taking a trip into the Americana world with Clare Doyle. She’s had one of the quicker rises in the local scene in recent years, and it’s not surprising when you listen to her music. She just released her first EP Stranger late last year after a string of solid singles, and I was thrilled to be able to chat with her.
