Our guest this week on Art of the Song is singer, songwriter, and mandolinist, Marie Miller. A native of Virginia's Shenandoah Valley, she first earned national acclaim with her 2013 single, You Are Not Alone. She has since toured with or opened for The Backstreet Boys, Sara Evans, Andy Grammar, Five for Fighting, and Kris Allen. In September 2015, Marie Miller performed for Pope Francis in front of 750,000 attendees in Philadelphia. In 2018, she took a bold step. She left the record label where she’d spent the previous 10 years and began a path as an independent artist. We spoke with Marie remotely about her album Little Dreams.

In the second half of the show for the Creativity Corner, we’ll hear from John Dillon with a daily practice that might be helpful during these stay-at-home times.
