Art of the Song

Our guests this week are Seattle-based husband-wife duo, Tekla Waterfield and Jeff Fielder. Tekla is a singer/songwriter who lives in the wide-open realm of Americana roots music, incorporating elements of folk, country, blues, and soul. Her evocative vocal style tells a story through visual images.

Jeff Fielder is an internationally touring guitarist for Mark Lanegan, Amy Ray, and the Indigo Girls. The two now join forces for their 2021 release Trouble in Time. Despite the heavy subject matter, there is a takeaway of hope for a brighter tomorrow in this collection of beautiful and haunting songs.

Our guest this week on Art of the Song is acclaimed singer/songwriter/song interpreter Joan Osborne. AllMusic.com declared her “the most gifted vocalist of her generation.” She’s performed with Motown’s revered rhythm section the Funk Brothers and toured with the Grateful Dead. In her latest album, Trouble and Strife, Joan tackles an array of socio-political issues including immigration and the weaponization of misinformation while simultaneously uplifting and empowering listeners. We spoke with Joan from her home in the Catskills (you might hear her daughter practicing saxophone in the background).
