Writing a Song about Boots

Step into a world where the creak of well-worn leather meets the strum of an acoustic guitar. Boots & Ballads is hosted by singer-songwriter Jeremiah Craig, who brings his unique perspective from life on the road and in the workshop. This isn't just a music podcast; it's a deep dive into the twin passions that define a lifestyle. Each week offers a different rhythm, from intimate conversations with master bootmakers discussing craftsmanship and history, to raw, live performances captured in honky-tonks and quiet studios. Jeremiah also opens his notebook, sharing the stories and struggles behind his original folk songs, giving you a front-row seat to the creative process. The episodes are structured around a thematic weekly cadence, ensuring variety while staying true to the core themes. You might find yourself lost in a full concert one day and learning about the intricate art of boot stitching the next. It’s a celebration of authentic expression, whether through a perfectly crafted verse or a perfectly crafted heel. For anyone who appreciates the soul in a song and the story in a scarred pair of boots, this podcast offers a genuine connection to the people and traditions that keep these art forms alive. Join Jeremiah Craig for a blend of melody and memoir that feels like a conversation with an old friend.
