Julie Byrne joins host Raina Douris

Singer-songwriter Julie Byrne learned fingerstyle guitar from her father, and for her, it’s more than just a technique. It’s profound. On the World Cafe, Julie talks about the physical and spiritual connection she feels to her guitar, and you can hear it yourself as she performs song from her powerful new album The Greater Wings, live.

Listen to the session here.
