We return this week with our continuing celebration of rad women doing cool stuff! We are joined by acoustic singer songwriter Kasey Christensen with Liam Kyle Cahill and Reno Poet Laureate Elisa Garcia. 

We catch up with Kasey and Liam, a musical power couple hosting open mics, recording new albums and playing shows all over the country. Their music is sweet and thoughtful. Reflections on the human condition and stories from their lives. Smart, experienced and open to exploring both music and the world, the most endearing quality they share and exemplify is authenticity. They aren’t making music to please anyone but themselves and that’s why it’s pleasing. It’s real. 

That is who Elisa is as well. Her poems are insight into which she’s been, is and even who she’s aspired to be. Being awarded the Reno Poet Laureate title is proof of her hard work on her thoughtful writing, consistently putting herself out there and a genuine connection to her audience.

We find out what it means and what life is like being the Reno poet laureate. We get to hear a couple of poems as well. 

We play a truly kismet round of Good Song Bad song featuring Alanis Morisette, and preview some upcoming shows at Shims Tavern. 

We had a blast hanging out with these beautiful artists. Thanks for sharing Kasey, Liam and Elisa. You can find all three on the socials and streams. 

Thanks for listening.

Life is short and we love you!

Our annual Women’s March continues with the soulful folk sounds of Kasey Christensen accompanied by her boyfriend, local folk hero Liam Kyle Cahill! 

We had a ball getting to know this talented singer songwriter with her beautiful vocals and heartfelt songs. 

Kasey also owns the popular restaurant Sűp so we talk a bit about that, community and supporting the arts. Both Liam and Kasey were recent grant recipients from the Nevada Arts Council and are both putting out new music with their grants. 

A round of the worst little quiz is played and we welcome our cohost Ian back from a long hiatus.

You can catch Kasey and Liam on Wednesday, March 29th 7pm-9pm at Reno Public Market.
