This week, host Charles Coplin interviews five-time Grammy-award winner and American Blues musician Keb’ Mo’! He discusses his views on environmental and social activism, concerns about plastic overflow, and the idea of finding other planets to colonize. He cares deeply about preservation, and points out that we cannot escape our consumptive lifestyles, so we must become aware of the impact of our daily choices.
Despite how bad things can look, though, he remains an optimist about our collective future by sharing messages of hope and light in his songwriting. Keb’ Mo’ also dives into his musical journey, how he kept pursuing his dreams in the face of failure, and talks about collaborations with artists like Taj Mahal, Roseanne Cash, and Robert Randolph. Make sure to check out Keb’ Mo’s latest album, Good To Be, out now!
