Kendl Winter Has Hummingbird Energy
Fans of the banjo! Fans of punk and folk and poetry! Fans of awesome, brilliant women! (I should have all of you at this point). This month’s guest is one half of the band “The Lowest Pair”, songwriter and all around great hang Kendl Winter. The two songs we discuss in this episode are totally unlike any other songs I’ve had on the show and this is one great episode. Don’t miss it and don’t miss Kendl’s brand new album of banjo instrumentals, “Banjo Mantras”, Available in some awesome different vinyl covers, if that kind of thing tickles your fancy.

Customer Reviews
Listening is believing 🎶
I’ve listened to a lot of good songwriting podcasts, but this one is brilliant & fresh on multiple levels. Check out the first 15 minutes of the brand new episode with the legend Kendl Winter that dropped today and you’ll know what I mean. 🪕❤️
Something To Sing About
Truly a gift to the world of songs and songwriting. Muhammad delivers authentic questions to equally authentic guests. The format of host and guest choosing one song each to listen to in entirety followed by thoughtful conversation is a gem!
Passion & Personality
Love this podcast for all the insight it provides into the different aspects of songwriting and the storytelling that accompanies it. M7/Nima creates such a warm environment for his guests and brings a refreshing balance of engaging questions, prompts, and perspectives while allowing them to weave their stories free-flowing and uninterrupted. You can tell how much care is in here, and a true gem for peeking behind the curtain of how authentic artists approach their craft.
