You’d be hard-pressed to find many humans that haven’t been affected by its power. Music is one of the few creations in this world that can transcend time and space, language barriers and cultural differences. I’m your host and life-long music lover, Danya Day. And on this show, I talk with musicians, music writers, music therapists, music scholars and especially music fans who discuss their personal connections to the artists and tracks that have meant the most to them. These conversations cover a wide range of genres and topics, from the light-hearted to life & death. If you love music of all kinds and learning all the ways it can work its magic, then join me here at Transcendent Tracks.https://www.transcendenttracks.com/noepisodicnopodcastSummer Dean: Big Visions & The Biggest Life [Ep. 10]Summer Dean: Big Visions & The Biggest Life [Ep. 10]Country singer-songwriter Summer Dean is a great example of persistence paying off. Taking small gigs while still working as a schoolteacher, she had a bigger vision, and kept bugging folks for better gigs (sometimes contacting them every 48 hours until they gave in) to the point that she could be a musician full-time and walk away from the classroom. Only 5 years into her career, she has already received 2 wins at the Ameripolitan Music Awards, snagged opening slots for Marty Stuart, Dale Watson and Asleep at the Wheel, and appeared at SXSW 2023. One of Summer’s ultimate visions is an induction into the Grand Ole Opry and no doubt she’ll keep pursuing it with her typical tenacity. For now, she has completed her second full-length album called The Biggest Life, produced by acclaimed songwriter Bruce Robison. Find out who Summer wants to induct her into the Opry, who she’d like to meet backstage, and what message was revealed to her during a visit to a medium.
