Woodstein Media Podcast Episode 23: Carol Hodge talks about touring, songwriting, influences and collaborations

This episode features a conversation with singer-songwriter Carol Hodge. She is a versatile musician living in Yorkshire, UK, who has been performing styles as diverse as the punk sounds of CRASS, which she has been touring with Steve Ignorant since 2011, to introspective pop songs full of intelligence, wit and poignancy deliver with a “cynical optimism.”

Hodge’s life is deeply steeped in music, and it keeps her quite busy as she also performs as a keyboardist/backing vocalist with various established artists, including Ginger Wildheart and Jon Poole (Cardiacs, Dr. Hook) and Steve Ignorant's Slice Of Life.

On this podcast, Hodge talks about touring, songwriting, musical influences, collaborations and life after choosing sobriety. For more information on her music, visit https://www.carolhodge.co.uk/.
