Welcome to Quarantuned With the Good Graces! Quarantuned is an interview podcast that focuses on staying creative, present, and connected during these unsettled and isolating times. In episode 8 of “Quarantuned,” I’m talking with Chris Shaw, a very talented musician from Columbus, Ohio. Chris and I both attended last week's "Folk Unlocked" conference, the virtual version of the annual Folk Alliance International gathering, which brings in artists from all over the world. We talked about what from the conference resonated with us, his current musical projects, our early life experiences in theatre, where he gets his news, and more.
