As I come up toward the publication of the AUDIOBOOK (stay tuned) of The Happiest Musician, I find myself revisiting its concepts too.
Today I consider the lessons of the 2008 recession for musicians of today!

Today on the podcast, you’ll hear violinist Kerstin Tenney talk about her upcoming debut album, LIGHT. We spent a lot of time talking about the long arc of her project - and if you have a project, a concept, an album in your heart that is not yet in the world, you will love this conversation.
Kerstin Tenney is a professional violinist based in Salt Lake City, Utah. As an active freelance musician, Kerstin works frequently on recording projects, does solo work, and performs regularly with the Tabernacle Choir and Orchestra at Temple Square. She has toured with the Tabernacle Choir and Orchestra on stages across the world, including Carnegie Hall, the Berlin Philharmonie and the Vienna Musikverein. Kerstin was the featured violin soloist on the soundtrack for the award-winning documentary, Bears of Durango, currently playing on PBS.
LIGHT is Kerstin's debut album, for which she commissioned 4 new works and 8 new arrangements. The album was produced by award-winning classical producer and sound engineer, Simon Kiln, and British Award winning composer, Donald Fraser.
I really loved talking to Kerstin and hearing how much her heart and her vision led the way throughout the ten year process of bringing this album into the world. She was patient with the project, she let new ideas in to guide her as it developed, and she took the actions to make it happen.

I hosted a conversation on this topic a week or two ago - and now I'm offering my thoughts again, for you!
Our pace changes in the summer. Things slow down, stretch out. We can catch up on our rest, we can disappear into a haze of sunscreen and tequila - AND we can maybe move the needle on our creative projects and practices!
Grab your notebook and dream with me!

Peg Luke has been Emmy and Grammy nominated, and is an 11 time Carnegie Hall solo artist. She’s the creator of "Psalm Space". She currently has over 200 thousand Spotify streams, and has professional distribution, radio promotion,has professional producers around the country and is professionally media managed and sync licensed. Peg Is a Christian Meditative Classical Pioneer who battles a rare autoimmune disease and has not been able to perform or present in person since the start of the pandemic because of this. She does everything from in house.
When her publicist first reached out to me, I looked at her website and listened to some of her work, and thought, oh, this is not for me. And it isn’t! A meditative christian music video is 100% not my jam! But my next thought was, WOW, this is obviously for someone. And whenever I see a classically trained musician doing something that clearly lights THEM up, and having found THEIR audience, and oh let’s see, having over 200K Spotify streams and professional distribution and a really PUT TOGETHER website and media kit, I get interested.
The amazing thing about a creative career is that you don’t have to appeal to everyone, you just have to find your people and create what they need and want. And clearly Peg is doing that, and with such joy in her work and her social media, and all of this makes her an amazing fit for this podcast. Listen for the moment where I just about fall over in discovering that this is her THIRD ACt - something she started surprisingly late in life, too. She’s an inspiration and I know you will love this conversation.
