In the first live in-studio of the semester, local music director Maddy Erskine welcomes Miranda Fling, local indie-pop singer-songwriter, into the station. Miranda Fling is a student at Colorado State University who has been making a name for herself this past year in the Fort Collins music scene. On March 1, she released her first album, “Wishful Thinking.” Fling recorded this album almost entirely in her basement. In this segment, Fling chats about how she aimed to create a dream-like sound in her songs by layering vocals and instruments. As a songwriter, Fling draws inspiration both from her deeper emotions and from lighthearted daily events.
Songs: “Cities,” “Mulberry Street,” “Someone Else” and “It’s Fine” performed live by Miranda Fling.

I’m an old guy who remembers the wonderful folk-rock and folk songs of the 1960s and ’70s. Miranda is just as wonderful as those were! I hope to obtain her album ASAP after March 1.
