Lea Thomas - Finding Spirituality in Nature and Music
Description
Today on the show, Charlene talks with singer-songwriter Lea Thomas. Born on the island of Maui in Hawaii, the half Japanese musician remembers writing her first songs about her childhood banyan tree with her beloved first guitar. Later, she dove into the music industry and city life in New York, only to find herself burnt out, yearning for spiritual power of nature. Now based in the upstate New York, Lea's music travels between wall-of-sound indie, to country-infused folk rock, to ambient shoegaze, yet it's always grounded in her intimate, warm vocals.
Stay tuned to the end of the episode for an exclusive acoustic performance of Lea's song "What Did the Music Sound Like," off her 2021 album Mirrors to the Sun.
