The Ground Shots Podcast


Jun 27, 2020

Episode #42 of the Ground Shots Podcast features a conversation with Charity Cimarron, the main singer and songwriter behind the music project Mother Marrow.

 

Charity and I met in 2013 in Asheville, North Carolina and have been friends ever since. I’m honored to feature her music at the theme song and outro for the Ground Shots Podcast.

In this episode, we launch a new version of the Ground Shots Podcast theme song, featuring an updated version of Mother Marrow’s song ‘Sweat and Splinters.’

 

In this conversation with Charity we talk about:

 

doing our work in the world while also having enough space of solitude for creative flow and inspiration

charity's relationship with being connected to music and the land 'being born in this world of music'

Charity’s time traveling with the band Psalters around the country and in Europe/Turkey,

her time homesteading in rural Missouri

learning to weave

finding community in the Earthskills community

Charity plays two new songs not on her recent album: 'Regalia' and 'Home to Self.’ She talks a little bit about the inspiration behind them, and how they came to her over time

how creativity is often a play between different elements with specific parameters, and figuring out how to make them fit together

how craft and music creativity feel like different processes to Charity

Charity's journey with autoimmune struggles and what the illness' have taught her

some of Charity's current and upcoming musical and creative projects

how artists and musicians don't often get an equal exchange for the energy they shar
