Episode 7 - A Mother's Song
Three remarkable women at different times in history, linked by bloodline, find connection through the traditional ballad songs passed down their family tree. These songs have traveled across lands and oceans, from Scotland, through Northern Ireland and into the Appalachian mountains. And in modern-day New York, Sarah's rediscovery of these songs and the family stories embedded within them, help guide her through life-changing events and decisions. Can she maintain her identity as an independent, queer woman in NYC, whilst also honoring the traditions of her childhood? A contemporary folk musical with an original pop-folk score.
