Vol. 226 The Soundtrack of Tara Connaghan

Tara Connaghan reflects on the creation of her podcast In Tune With Tradition: Perspectives on Session Etiquette in Irish Traditional Music, the lessons learned through conversations with musicians around the world, and how the project has shaped her growth both creatively and personally. She shares stories from her journey through Irish traditional music, the freedom and connection found in session playing, and the balancing act of producing a globally recognized podcast while preserving the authenticity of the culture it celebrates. We also dive into conversations about music performance anxiety, respect within the traditional music community, creative discipline, cultural identity, and the worldwide reach of Irish music.Host: Mackayla WisemanAudio Editors: Gabrielle Groves and Mackayla WisemanScript Writer: Mackayla Wiseman
