Lily Kershaw on Songwriting, Mental Health, and Her Journey Through “Pain and More” | Fuegostine's Music Club

Join Matt Firestine as he sits down with singer-songwriter Lily Kershaw to discuss her decade-long music career, her latest album Pain and More, and the creative process behind writing deeply personal songs about depression and growth. Lily shares candid insights on touring, producing her own music, and how music can heal and connect us. From her influences like Simon & Garfunkel and Imogen Heap to her favorite songs today, this conversation is an intimate look at the life of an indie artist finding her voice.About Lily Kershaw:The strongest tool Lily Kershaw wields is her voice, both in the simmering ferocity it carries and the poetry it speaks. For sophomore album Arcadia, she is ultimately telling a story of acceptance, both of herself and the great mystery that is the universe. Together with producer Ben Cooper (Radical Face), Lily takes her classic folk-tinged songs and weaves warmer analog sounds like organ, harpsichord and guitar with cinematic force, creating her most intimate release to date.In song and spirit, Lily is an old soul, but upon initial meeting she's kinetic, ebullient, lively, and kind, quick with a joke and an infectious smile.  Lily is a compulsive creator, she jots down melodies and lyrics as she’s wandering through her days. Born and mostly raised in Los Angeles, she offers an antidote to the long-mythologized Los Angeles glitz; she’s authentic, and honest, self-effacing and, above all, she is herself.Follow Me On SocialsYouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@fuegostineInstagram: https://www.instagram.com/fuegostine/TikTok: https://www.tiktok.com/@fuegostineSpotify Playlists: https://open.spotify.com/user/fuegostine?si=a9f66792f66149aePatreon: https://www.patreon.com/fuegostine
