What does it take to keep evolving creatively as an artist? Songwriter, producer, and multi-instrumentalist Elizabeth and the Catapult joins us for a conversation about the making of her sixth studio album, Responsible Friend. We’ll discuss her experience making the new record and dive into the stories behind a few album tracks. We’ll also explore how her approach to production has evolved over the years, as well as how she balances home and touring life.

You can look forward to an inspiring session that invites you to reflect on your own creative evolution.
