Hi, I'm Kaeley Pruitt-Hamm of people power indie folk group KPH & The Canary Collective.

Being an activist and a musician have always been a part of who I am. I've always aspired to be a sort of "musical Erin Brockovich," helping connect the dots and not sit silently while my friends and family are made sick because of corporations taking shortcuts in the name of profit. Since becoming disabled by chronic illness in 2015 and sidelined from my job in the non-profit world, I'm feeling more than ever the need for conversation around healing - healing the ecosystems of our bodies and healing the ecosystems of our Earth.

So I started a podcast! During a global public health epidemic. What better time than now to interview canaries who are at the forefront of human and environmental crises? We'll talk about problems of the world - from orca whales going extinct to the rise of autoimmune diagnoses. And most importantly, we'll talk about solutions. And we'll even sometimes sing and play games on air dreaming up what the world would look like if it were healed of these problems.

In February 2020, I released an album of music called "The Canary Collective: Vol 1" full of songs about healing and building the world we want.

So this podcast is going to start out by tracing the steps of these songs and delving deeper through conversation, exploring the people and topics that inspired me to write these tunes.

So welcome! Join us! Let's sing our way out of this mine together!
