Her timeless folk sound continues a tradition that dates back centuries, bringing it into the modern world with the aid of technology. It's empathetic art, with both a lyrical perspective and a musical sound that are fundamentally shaped by the artist's own physical disability. This episode is an exploration of Lea's perspective on folk music, exploring how she's adding her own voice to the long historical parade of folksongs, and digging in to the perspectives that she has gained living and creating as a disabled artist in the modern world.
