"I lift up my face to the summer sky

The sound of larks

And the feel of dirt

To all that keeps making sense

In senseless times." --Carrie Newcomer

Carrie Newcomer: Asking the Right Questions in Song

Carrie Newcomer is an American performer, singer, songwriter, recording artist, author and educator. The Boston Globe described her as a "prairie mystic" and Rolling Stone wrote that she is one who "asks all the right questions." According to a 2014 PBS "Religion and Ethics" interview, Newcomer is a conversational, introspective songwriter who "celebrates and savors the ordinary sacred moments of life and champions interfaith dialogue and progressive spiritualty." Krista Tippett notes that Carrie is "best known for her story-songs that get at the raw and redemptive edges of human reality." In this interview that took place in the early days of the pandemic, Carrie shares beautiful musings, music and more.
