Flowers Growing Out of Sh**: Making Art When The World is Falling Apart with Luke Concannon

Dear Balladeer

S2E5: On this, the 5th episode of the second season (and perhaps the last- we’re taking a TBD break), I have the pleasure of talking with Luke Concannon, New England-based, Old England-grown singer-songwriter and community builder. We talk about spirituality, finding hope in the midst of turmoil, creativity, and meaning-making, framed around his song Coventry.

Thanks to everyone who has been on the podcast and everyone who has listened! I’ve had fun, and I’m ready for a break :)
