Isa Burke With Lula Wiles Shares Her Fully Immersed Recording Experience At Great North Sound Society: Isa Burke grew up in South Berwick, Maine and the other members of her band grew up in Farmington, Maine. For a long time, Isa was very serious about the fiddle, but nowadays she’s 50/50 with the guitar and the fiddle. The fiddle is what brought these band members together - they all met at Maine Fiddle Camp. Lula Wiles recorded their first two albums at a studio in Boston, but their third album was recorded in June of 2020 at Great North Sound Society. For Isa, recording in Maine, “it was an amazing experience. I think one of the things that I like the most about working with Sam is he's down for whatever. He's not super married to any idea of what an album should sound like or what a song should sound like. He's really down to get creative and get weird.

Rachel Baiman, ep. 130: Help produce Basic Folk by contributing at basicfolk.com/donate Ok, so yes I cried when I interviewed Rachel Baiman. Her writing is stirring and brutal and then when you read about the inspiration behind the songs on her new album Cycles, it's like automatic water works for me. From frank observations of her grandparent's loss of agency to women reckoning the heaviness and grief of motherhood, I am INTO the emotion of these songs. Rachel came to songwriting after she had spent her youth mastering the fiddle. She actually kept her school life separate from her fiddle life, where she would pal around with other kids at the fiddle contests and also play in jams with people four times her age. She attended Vanderbilt in Nashville for an anthropology degree where she centered a lot of her research papers on the fiddle. She left Nashville to study in Edinboro and took full advantage of of the music community she found. That would also set her up to seek out a music c

Kaiti Jones, ep. 111: Kaiti Jones' vibe is truly chill with that special something that you experience in a real artist. She's got that thing that should propel her to great heights: her music is spot-on and as a human being, it feels like you're in the presence of some kind of greatness. Am I exaggerating? I don't know, but this woman is wicked cool. Her backstory starts in Portland, Maine with her hippie Christian parents, who met at a commune in the 60's. Kaiti learned violin using the suzuki method, which is based in learning by ear. After violin came training in piano, viola, french horn, cello and drums. She discovered songwriting when her mom read her diary and she found it a way to simultaneously express and deflect her feelings. Then she finally picked up the guitar in the church band and realized this would be the vessel for her songwriting. Kaiti moved to Cambridge, ten years ago, to do service work as an AmeriCorps volunteer and has found much inspiration in joy in service
