Lindsay Ell Discusses Music Inspiration
Lindsay Ell discusses how songwriting and playing guitar have helped her connect to who she is. Music has been an outlet for her and her entire last album was inspired by art being a way to process feelings. This leads her to Greta McClain, founder of Silent No Longer, whose entire mission is just that.
