Conquering Cantankerous Divide with Hopeful Folk Music by Josie BelloFolk Singer/Songwriter joins our host Steve Yusko for an engaging conversation about the power of music, the divide in our nation and her rise on the music scene as a self-proclaimed, "Late-bloomer".  We explore three of songs and learn about ways to further expose original music in our world. Josie Bello has been musical from an early age. She would often walk around the house, humming or singing some tune she had formed in her head, so frequently that her mother would ask her to "please pipe down". Growing up in Queens, NY, it is no surprise that her musical hero is Bruce Springsteen - an artist she wishes she could channel into her own songwriting at times. But then again, doesn’t every songwriter want… need... to channel “The Boss.” Josie's writing process is spontaneous, at times a phrase or chord progression that gets written down only to sit for a time, until the moment is right. Other times it comes in a rush, allowing her to grab the inspiration of the moment and run with it. In the past few years, she’s recorded and released two albums with songwriter and producer, Mike Nugent. It is her desire that her music can provide you with a simple respite from the troubles of the day or, if nothing else, the simple joy that music holds.Connect with The Long Island Sound Podcast Intro/Outro song in this episode: “Fading out Fast” from Mike Nugent’s album, Mike Nugent and the Blue Moon Band .
