We are so excited to have Irena Eide aka Rainy Eyes with us on No Simple Road this week as our guest!

Being a female musician in a male-dominated industry comes with its own set of challenges and nuances. Irena opens up about her experiences in the music business, sharing insights on maintaining a strong, assertive attitude and the importance of mutual respect in an industry often marred by superficial judgments. We dig into her latest album 'Lonesome Highway', collaborating with notable musicians like Rick Robertson and Sam Grisman, and how all of this serves as a testament to her artistic integrity and emotional storytelling.

We explore the transformative power of music as both a creative outlet and a healing tool. Irena recounts the organic process of recording her album in a serene cabin setting, the support from her parents that fueled her musical passion, and the cathartic nature of bringing long-developed songs to fruition. This episode is a heartfelt exploration of music's ability to connect, inspire, and heal, offering listeners a glimpse into the intimate and powerful world of a dedicated artist.
