Ghost Story Salon with Jolie Holland (Jolie Holland )

Great to talk with Lindsey Verrill who fronts the Austin-based band Little Mazarn. We got into chills, collective tragedy, ancestor dreams, and getting “contact spooked.” We also discussed pandemic blues, music, the new Tina Turner doc, & the Knights Templar...

My friend Casey Neill joined us to talk about this benefit we’re doing on April 9, 16, 23, and 30, called Abolition 2021 in support of a free hospitality house for family and lawyers of incarcerated people at Louisiana State Penitentiary. The house will be run by Abolition Apostles, a national jail and prison ministry. Casey Neill is an activist and a musician I have long admired as someone who uses their work to serve, educate and inspire. We talked about the Abolition benefit, and as a nod to the spectral roots of this podcast, Casey shared a dream of his that seemed to be a premonition.

I got to talk with my dear bandmate and collaborator Jared Samuel about the idea of channeling music, and how that idea sometimes feels patronizing in certain contexts. Stevie Weinstein-Foner joined us to share a strange synchronicity on the same subject. With mentions of the absolutely glorious Adrianne Lenker of Big Thief.
