In the inaugural episode of Basic Folk, Cindy talks with Brooklyn-based singer-songwriter Ana Egge. Dubbed the “Nina Simone of Folk Music,” Ana sits down with Cindy to discuss her early influences growing up on a commune in rural New Mexico, crafting her own guitar at the age of 15, and writing herself into understanding.
