Welcome to Quarantuned With the Good Graces! Quarantuned is an interview podcast that focuses on staying creative, present, and connected during these unsettled and isolating times. In episode 11 of “Quarantuned,” I’m talking with Harley Eblen, a wonderful singer-songwriter based in Seattle, WA.
Harley and I met through Song School, an annual workshop-style gathering of songwriters that takes place at Planet Bluegrass in Lyons, CO, so naturally we talked about our experiences there. We also discussed his new single, "I See You," and how the 2016 election inspired it; approaching songwriting from a place of empathy and how that can change you as a songwriter; how music keeps him alive; our experiences in recovering from burnout; his recent exploration into musical production; planning and non-planning; truths and non-truths in songwriting; and so, so much more!
