For many talented working musicians, juggling a variety of
professional responsibilities and identities is the reality. For
this episode of Pass
the Mic, we talked to singer-songwriter, occupational
therapist, and massage therapist Beth Snapp at the 2023
Bristol Rhythm and Roots Festival. In this episode, Beth discusses
her experiences providing healthcare services to patients with
COVID-19 during the height of the pandemic, including ways those
experiences shaped her songwriting and perspectives on health and
healing. She was also candid about the internal struggles that come
with balancing different professional identities and uncertainty
about what comes next following trauma and burnout that became
common for many healthcare providers during and following the
pandemic. Finally, Beth also shared her excitement about her
upcoming full-length record release, produced by Barry Bales, which
will feature some surprise collaborations. We appreciate Beth’s
honestly about the joys and challenges of being a professional
artist and healthcare provider.
Music featured on this episode was performed live by Beth Snapp
during our interview at the 2023 Bristol Rhythm & Roots Reunion.
These tracks include "I Didn't Sing" and "Too Good", both written
by Beth Snapp.
Theme music for this episode was composed and performed by William
Wright.
