Gladness & Hunger with Leanne W. Smith

Kendra Gensemer: “Lessons in Rebuilding”

Leanne W. Smith Season 1 Episode 2

A few years ago, a woman in Missouri offered her home for a house show. She didn’t even know the band she was inviting in, but she did know some ardent fans who wanted them to play in Kansas City, so she graciously offered her home as both stage and lodge.

It was the start of a beautiful friendship that spread from the band to my daughter to me. Long before I met her, I knew Kendra shone with a special light. It was my honor to interview her as my first guest, a fellow writer working on her first book, on her recent trip to Nashville.
