A long time Niles resident and singer-songwriter Michael McNevin join us on the podcast this week. Michael is the imaginator and curator of the infamous Mudpuddle Shop in Niles. From antique decorations to etch-a-sketch drawings, the MudPuddle is a place to visit and take in if you ever get the chance.
Michael shares with us a bit of his story as well as a story or two behind a few of the songs that he has written over time. He is inspiring and engaging. He's a song-writing teacher as well. Michael leads the Pacific Songwriting Camp every January and has participated in teaching songwriting at other workshops in places like Yosemite. He instructs and inspires musicians and aspiring writers how to write and develop the craft. And many of the Pacific Songwriting Camp song-campers have travelled from all over the US to come play in Niles or do workshops at the Mudpuddle, over the years.
