But in 2016 she won NPR’s Tiny Desk Contest, which opened up a world of touring opportunities and helped her find fans and community in places she’d never been. For the first time, Gaelynn realized that home can be anywhere, even a budget hotel room.Hosted by Maeve Higgins. Brought to you by Reese Witherspoon and Hello Sunshine. We want to hear YOUR story.
