In this episode of “The Journey of My Mother’s Son” podcast, I sit down to talk with Katelyn Reece and Matt Abbott of the indie folk duo, RustedMelody.

As with Quinn Leach, who I interviewed a few weeks ago, we saw RustedMelody perform at Talona Ridge RV Resort in East Ellijay, Georgia.

I always love talking to musicians and other creative people and learning about what inspires them to do what they do.  Music truly is the universal language and can be used to heal our souls.

Matt and Katelyn talk about how they form a connection with the audience while performing and how they feed off of the crowd’s energy during a show.

During the pandemic, they made the gutsy decision to quit their jobs and start performing music as a livelihood as opposed to just a hobby.  They’re performing at least four gigs a week throughout the North Georgia region.

During the podcast, they perform their original song, “Butterfly.”  It’s a song about life, love and the journey to find yourself.  All rights to the song belong to RustedMelody and it is used in the podcast with their permission.
