Ep. 6 — Amanda Shires

Nashville Scene

Amanda Shires is one of the most interesting people in music right now. She released her fifth solo album "My Piece of Land" to great acclaim last year, while maintaining her gig as a talented side player in her husband Jason Isbell's band. Ahead of this year's AmericanaFest — where she's nominated for Emerging Artist of the Year — she tells us about preserving her identity as an artist after becoming a mother, sexism in the music industry, and her love for poetry and gardening.
