Is it “starting over” or is it “starting fresh?” Either way, it can be daunting: a blank canvas, a dream unrealized, turning the page to a new chapter, maybe throwing away all your notes and starting a whole new book. There comes a time after we experience challenges when turning a new leaf could grow a new garden. Is it worth it?
The journey of 1000 miles begins with a single step. Summer 2024 is a fresh new festival season. In this edition of Gestures we talk to Lindsay Lou and Fox Crossing Stringband about starting over. It takes guts, but more importantly it takes a lot of love: just another gesture that women bring to the arts.
The songs on Queen of Time find Lindsay Lou following a path of heartbreak, discovery, and transformation following a divorce, the pandemic lockdowns, and the death of her beloved grandmother.
