About this episode

Laura Veirs discusses her new album Temple Songs and her journey of self-discovery as an artist.

Get ready to get inspired. We welcome back Portland, Oregon artist Laura Veirs this week, whose new album is the culmination of four transformative years, during which time she says she discovered who she is as an artist. 27 years since releasing her 1999 debut, Laura took the production reins for the first time on her brand new, fourteenth album, Temple Songs, named for her backyard studio ("the Temple of Bloom"). We learn why this album is exceptionally vulnerable for Laura to share, and the skills she uncovered by pushing herself to record the album entirely on her own. *** We are so thankful to Qobuz for their generous support of SHEROES and invite you to listen to Laura Veirs' new album Temple Songs in high resolution audio on their platform - which is one of the most artist-friendly, human-curated music streaming services available.
