World Cafe Playlist for 10/01/2026
Michaela Anne joins host Stephen Kallao
Michaela Anne had been going through it; a string of life changing events including the birth of her daughter and caring for her mom after a stroke, all while soldiering through a pandemic without the ability to tour. It would take her two years to find the right words that would ultimately find a home on her album, These Are the Days. Coming up, Michaela Anne pops by to reflect on rebuilding her creativity, and she performs in studio. That’s on the next World Cafe.
Listen to the session here.
