The effortless charm of Olivia Dear was on full display in this 4th episode of Season 2. This Detroit-area songwriter is just getting started with a new moniker after 10+ years performing under her given name, but she has experienced more as a touring musician in her first quarter-century on this planet than most do in their entire careers. That fresh start was central to our conversation about what gives Olivia hope for the future, and what drives her creative process.
