In the artist’s words: Describe one of your earliest musical memories in detail. I have dyslexia, and as a child, the classroom was a very uncomfortable place for me to be. The teachers would send me to the stage to practice music instead of having me in class. I loved those moments! What are your top 3 all-time favorite albums on Apple Music, and why? Why did you choose these three albums in particular? Front Porch String Band, Front Porch String Band (feat. Claire Lynch) Laurie Lewis, Earth & Sky: Songs Of Laurie Lewis The Beatles, The Beatles 1967-1970 (The Blue Album) What is not to love about these amazing artists? They write most of their songs, the productions are unique, and the vocals are crisp, soulful, and well-done. I love several different styles and could probably list more albums!
