S8: E2: Sadie Williams (The Kaleidoscope Project / The Skinz) - Keeping Live Music Alive


SHOW SUMMARY:
Join us as we welcome Sadie Williams, a phenomenal guitarist from Houston, who's been nominated for Best Local Guitarist at the 8th Annual SLM Awards. Sadie takes us on a sonic journey from her roots in Conroe, Texas, to her rise as a rock and roll sensation inspired by legends like Led Zeppelin. With her stories of becoming the "family rock star" despite having a non-musical background, and her experiences performing in Cypress, Kehma, and Galveston, Sadie paints a vivid picture of the Houston music scene's vibrant landscape.

In our conversation, we uncover the magic behind Sadie's songwriting and recording process. Discover how a spontaneous guitar riff can transform into a hit track through the synergy of band dynamics and creative collaboration. Sadie shares insights into the band's eclectic repertoire, revealing how they stand out by choosing unique covers and infusing them with a fresh, nostalgic vibe. You'll also get a sneak peek at their new track "Moon Gypsy" and learn about the organic development of their music that appeals to a diverse audience.

Reflecting on the challenges musicians face today, we discuss the impact of COVID-19 on live music and audience engagement. Sadie offers heartfelt acknowledgments to her fans for their unwavering support, emphasizing the importance of keeping the live music tradition alive. We also touch on her musical influences, dream collaborations, and her exciting journey with The Kaleidoscope Project. From balancing full-time jobs to navigating unexpected gigs at events like Sturgis, Sadie’s story is a testament to pursuing passion with flexibility and gratitude.
