Luis Hernandez: Allysen, welcome to The Public’s Radio.
Allysen Callery: Thanks for having me.
Hernandez: You know, I’ve read a lot of your bio and been listening to your music, but when you run into folks, how do you describe your art? How do you describe your music?
Callery: Well, the moniker I got from my first label was Ghost Folk. And it kind of is a combination of, hauntingness. The music is haunting, but it’s also the ghosts of the past. I was influenced a lot by my parents, British Isles folk revival records of the late 70s. I mean late 60s, early 70s, like Steel Eyespan, and of course, Fairport Convention. And I, I really resonated a lot with Incredible String Band. And so I’m drawing upon those ghosts, and also I just happen to be a little spooky.
Hernandez: You’re self taught….
