In this episode, I sit down with Folk Bitch Trio to uncover their story — from the struggles of finding their voice to the moments that shaped their sound. I wanted to know how their experiences shaped not only their music but also their identity as artists navigating today’s folk scene. The band opened up about challenges, inspirations, and the unique energy that fuels their performances.

This conversation goes beyond music — it’s about resilience, authenticity, and what it means to create something that truly resonates.

So, how do you think their journey might change the way you listen to their music?
