Reimagining Kentucky Country Music & New Orleans Jazz with Kelsey Waldon and Aurora Nealand
Country singer Kelsey Waldon grew up in the Ohio River bottoms of Ballard County, Kentucky-a place called “Monkey’s Eyebrow” where her family has farmed for generations. She tells us about her journey as a songwriter, and her friendship with another hero of Kentucky, John Prine. Then a live set of New Orleans jazz and its Caribbean cousins with the widely acclaimed multi-instrumentalist, Aurora Nealand and her quartet at Artisound Studios in New Orleans 9th Ward.
