On this episode of Songs of Our Lives, it’s Joy Guidry! I’ve admired Joy’s work for years, so it was a real pleasure to finally connect one-on-one. She’s consistently pushed the boundaries of what the bassoon can do, and her latest album, Five Prayers, is a beautifully distilled expression of that evolving vision. We talked about pre-show rituals, Stevie Wonder as the GOAT, how incredible Cleo Sol is, getting a wider view of Tyler, The Creator, Ella Mai, Solange, The Temptations, and so much more!
