Felt like a summer breeze to have Laura Kiernan of Kiernan in studio today. Laura grew up as a classical pianist with a dream to have a band, and now she has one. Her understanding of how to bring emotion to the piano shines through her music today. Every note is intentional and no hesitation to bring in more musicians or tracks to underpin a song. The results are lovely, calming songs with hidden Easter eggs. You can catch the band August 31 at the Turf Club.
And big thanks to Jenny Holly (from Willowjs Bookshelf) for cohosting with me. Check out her Bookstagram for great book recommendations!
