Adventures in Americana presents Smouse in the House
Music journalist and photographer Tom Smouse interviews a different Americana act--either local or just passing through--in each episode of this Twin Cities-based podcast. Whether it's in their home or in a local venue, Smouse chats with musicians about songwriting and more in the spaces they live, create and perform. Every episode also features two songs by the artists that are brand new, recent or special to them. This series was conceived and co-produced by Smouse with Jaclyn Nott and Carol Roth of Adventures in Americana. Intro/outro music is by Minneapolis artist Ellkaye (aka Lila Karash).

Our host Tom Smouse visits the Minneapolis home of Indigenous singer-songwriter Laura Hugo! Originally from Teec Nos Pos, Arizona, which is located in the Navajo Nation, she talks about how her music has grown and shifted with her experiences moving around the country and eventually settling here in Minnesota. Laura just makes you smile; her spirit, resilience, and genuine warmth are so infectious. Laura reflects on her creative process and how she navigates life from a unique perspective that is clearly reflected in her music. Laura has a novel’s worth of stories and experiences that should be heard, one song at a time.
