Michaela Anne joins host Stephen Kallao

The songs on Michaela Anne’s new record, Oh To Be That Free, went through a big shift before being released. While recording the album, she became a first-time parent and was also caring for her mother who suffered a stroke, leaving her in a coma. On the World Cafe, Michaela will share how those experiences changed her and what it was like to make the new music during an incredibly uncertain time. All this, plus Michaela Anne performs live.
