Episode 7 - "Maggie Tharp's e.p., 'Love, Maggie': Mountains, Music, and the Art of Showing Up"
<p>In this episode, J.J. sits down with Knoxville musician, <strong>Maggie Tharp</strong>, to talk about her brand-new EP, 'Love, Maggie' — a musical love letter to her family, friends, and listeners. The record carries themes of <strong>driving long distances and the pull of majestic mountainous landscapes</strong>, reflecting Maggie’s life across <strong>Colorado, North Carolina, and now Tennessee</strong> —places where, like J.J., she’s discovered that deep sense of “home” that echoes through her heart and hums beneath every song. </p><p>The two explore the creative process, goal-setting and procrastination simultaneously, and what it means to keep showing up for everyone else while learning to show up for yourself.</p><p>At the heart of the episode is Maggie’s song, “The Sea,” where she sings:</p><p>“I called my own bluff before I even got started;<br>I kept pushing it off like I was some kind of martyr;<br>and when the going got rough, I admit that I faltered;<br>I was made for the sea, and still I fear the water.”</p><p><br></p><p><strong>🎶 Episode Flow & Music Credits</strong></p><p>🎵 <strong>0:00</strong> — Maggie Tharp – “Your Song’s The Same As Mine”<br>🎵 <strong>4:00</strong> — Shayla McDaniel – “Wild Dreamer”<br>🎵 <strong>7:43</strong> — Kelsi Walker – “Shoes”<br>🎙️ <strong>12:10</strong> — Conversation with Maggie Tharp<br>🎵 <strong>59:00</strong> — Maggie Tharp – “The Sea”<br>🎵 <strong>1:03:36</strong> — Maggie Tharp – “Shed My Tears”<br>🎵 <strong>1:07:41</strong> — Maggie Tharp – “Your Song’s The Same As Mine”<br>🎵 <strong>1:11:40</strong> — Maggie Tharp – “Northern Hwy”<br>🎙️ <strong>1:16:28</strong> — Conversation with Maggie Tharp<br>🎵 <strong>1:45:45</strong> — Maggie Tharp – “Highway Love”</p><p>✨ All Maggie Tharp tracks featured in this episode are from her new e.p. , 'Love, Maggie', now streaming on Spotify .</p><p> Music flows before, between, and after the interview segments — so feel free to linger through the closing track for the full journey.

Episode 6 - "Becki Grace Livingston: Enigmatic Kayaking and "Songs by the Brook"
<p><a href="https://open.spotify.com/show/6Gl3bKVTjsGCr6SoMcbD4G?si=8a7ac5a26a9f4e83" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferer">Episode 6 - We sit down with the incomparable <strong>Becki Grace Livingston</strong></a> — singer, songwriter, radio host, and licensed professional counselor — for a conversation as raw as it is inspiring.</p><p><a href="https://open.spotify.com/artist/1HpsOFzxGXNIRzRm9hNOEa?si=e_PvRqCvRh600mLoBXYMzA" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferer">The episode opens with a song, “Haunted by Tom Petty” by <strong>3 Mile Smile</strong></a>, the band Becki Grace once shared with her late husband, Jeff. The video for the track — filmed at Lost and Found Records in North Knoxville with cameos from some of Knoxville’s favorite local music scenesters — captured a vibrant moment in their shared musical journey. But after Jeff’s tragic passing in 2021, Becki Grace is navigating a life reshaped by grief, resilience, and rediscovery.</p><p>Our talk winds through her work as a mental health practitioner, the conversations she even has with her own therapist, and the unvarnished truths of adapting to “life after.” She gifts us a pair of unreleased songs midway through the episode and talks about her own brand of joyful defiance — how memories of Jeff spark lyrics at unexpected times, like in the middle of the night or while driving — and how the muscle memory of making music keeps carrying her forward. Becki Grace will be performing live at <strong>Songs By the Brook</strong> in Blount County on <strong>Thursday, August 21 at 6 pm</strong> — don’t miss the chance to experience her artistry in person.</p>
