A Conversation with Austin-based Singer Songwriter Vanessa Lively

Visual artist and singer/songwriter, and Old Soul,Vanessa Lively has been described as a woman who thrives on jumping into the unknown with both feet.

She certainly did when she and her husband moved to South America to do volunteer work in impoverished areas. 

Now back in the US- living in Austin TX, Lively had the chance to speak with KUNC’s Wendy Wham about her latest album, Uncovering Stones, her experiences with reverse culture shock when moving back to the United States, and other thoughts.

Vanessa Lively has two shows along Colorado's Front Range this week-- Tonight (4/3) at Avogadro's Numberin Ft. Collins, and Thursday night (4/5) at the Swallow Hill Cafein Denver.

Though the majority of my radio experience has been in the commercial sector (from Colorado to Utah to Alaska), my radio was always tuned to the public station... I am an NPR junkie. I was blessed to work with some truly amazing and creative people in radio since my first professional job in the industry during my freshman year in college. That blessing has continued by being part of the family of one of the most incredible radio stations (and staff) in the country - KUNC.
