My Music Episode 702 - Caddy Callaghan

Graham Coath talks to Australian singer-songwriter Caddy Callaghan about the music we carry with us, sometimes for years, before finding the courage and space to bring it fully to life.Caddy remembers sitting at her grandmother’s old wooden piano at just four years old and feeling something she describes beautifully: “It gave me resonance.” That connection has remained with her ever since, through teaching, motherhood, periods of doubt and the constant bells of everyday life competing for her attention.She shares the remarkable story behind her single Sweet Fool, written many years ago in a school piano room when she was supposed to be planning a lesson, and its eventual journey to Nashville, where she recorded with acclaimed musician and producer Rick Price.They also talk about repetition, creative bubbles, romantic hope, the fear of failure and why producing three minutes of music can represent ten years of dreaming. There is even time to hatch a plan involving Caddy’s vineyard and a future bottle of Sweet Fool Pinot Noir.This is a warm, honest conversation about remaining hopeful without remaining naïve, allowing yourself to be carried when life becomes difficult, and making room for the thing that gives you resonance.MyMusic is hosted by Graham Coath and proudly sponsored by 13th Floor Sound.
