Bliss Is Ordinary
Have you ever wondered what life might be like if people sang more often? Join hosts Yam & Jessi as they celebrate the living tradition of singing in the everyday world, and ask the question, “Can an ordinary voice sing a true song?”. Part intimate conversation, part singing-telegram, this show chronicles stories of how people use song to better understand the world around them, and navigate being human. Every episode includes an original song that is taught, as well as support for getting more in touch with your own authentic voice.
