In this episode, Dr. Leah and Taraleigh talk with musician and singer/songwriter Liz Bills about her evocative ways of delivering healing and transformation through music and collaborative performance. Liz shares her own journey with mental health, chronic pain, and sobriety, and how her music has evolved to facilitate more healing experiences along the way. Liz describes how she sees herself as a “nervous system tuner” as a musician and how she focuses on creating co-regulation through live music. In the “Did you Know” Dr. Leah explains what nervous system regulation means and how it can be done through co-regulation with another person or through self-regulation on one’s own. Taraleigh gives listeners a couple of techniques to use for self-regulation in the “Daily Jam.” 

Liz Bills is known for her entrancing high energy performances and emotionally charged power vocals, passionate and honest in her songwriting and stage presence; Liz is unapologetically brave yet incredibly vulnerable and real. Taking you on a wild ride that is intoxicatingly sweet and dangerously ferocious.

Liz’s highlights include the 2020 and 2021 Boston Music Award’s ‘Singer/songwriter of The Year’ nomination, winning ‘Pop Act of The Year’ in 2021, ‘Roots Act of The Year’ in 2019 and ‘Rock Act of the Year’ in 2018 for the New England Music Awards, opening for Bon Jovi at Mohegan Sun in 2017, runner-up in the 2016 Aloft Rising Star with Daughtry, and a semi-finals appearance in the WZLX’s 2016 Rock Rumble. Liz was a top 30 female finisher in the 2013 American Idol competition, and has been compared to singers such as Grace Potter, Janis Joplin, Florence and the Machine and Susan Tedeschi. https://www.lizbills.com/

In this episode, Dr. Leah and Taraleigh chat with guitarist and concert producer Adam Weinberg about the therapeutic power of music. The three begin the talk with Adam’s early show days bringing his Jewish tradition of Shabbat to Phish concerts and festivals. Adam describes his perspective on the connection between spirituality and live music and his passion for combining the two. He then goes deep describing his process of grieving the loss of his brother-in-law to addiction and how he used music to process his emotions and work through debilitating anxiety. What surfaced in the end, was a solo album called Laugh, Cry, Grief, Hope that he is now performing live as he tours with Matisyahu. In the “Did you Know” Dr. Leah shares the importance of art creation for healthy emotional expression. Taraleigh helps listeners connect with their own artistic expression through the “Daily Jam.” 

Adam Weinberg started his music career as a solo instrumental guitarist and independent film scorer. His first record, On the Seventh Year, featured a selection of melodies inspired by Jewish prayer arranged for solo guitar. Music from the record was performed with the renowned percussionist Cyro Baptista (Paul Simon, Trey Anastasio, John Zorn) and was featured in the award winning documentary Unsettled. Adam spent more than five years touring with artist Matisyahu for the singer’s acoustic performances world-wide. Adam’s playing with Matisyahu was noted for its inventive arrangements of traditionally simple reggae tunes. 

Adam’s newest release Laugh, Cry, Grief, Hope is Adam's first lyrical album. Nearly all the songs were written in late 2019 and early 2020 during a difficult six month stretch of life that inspired Adam to begin experimenting with serious lyricwriting for the first time in his career. The finished product is anacoustic-band-driven exploration of loss, healing, and a genuine search for joy.

In this episode, Dr. Leah and Taraleigh talk with songwriter and musician Paige Clem about her role in creating and establishing The Phellowship, a clean and sober community for Phish fans. Paige tells the magical story of how the Phellowship came to be, with the band onboard, and how they are operating now, over 25 years later. She describes one person’s clean and sober experience at shows and offers inspiration and hope for anyone needing or considering the road to recovery. Paige also lets us in on what she’s up to musically and how fans can catch her performing live. For the “Did you Know” Dr. Leah shares what loneliness has to do with addiction and how it relates to the Phellowship’s mission. Taraleigh gives fans ways to engage their own way through the “Daily Jam.” 

Paige’s passion for people, music and service has led her to hold a variety of roles in music including a 5-year stint as Marketing Director for High Sierra Music and volunteer positions with The Grammy Foundation/MusiCares. She has donated her time and talents to organizing and/or performing in multiple musical benefits and silent auctions to support the arts, artists, and art-supporters. She is most proud of the vital role she played in creating and establishing The Phellowship, a now 25-year-old organization with over 8000 members that provides a safe space for clean and sober live music lovers at concerts.

Paige Clem’s folk-soul-with-a-dash-of-sass sound draws on threads of blues and Americana with an honest and often clever accessibility. San Francisco-based, Paige performs her original material as a solo artist and in Paige & The Clementines—an Americana music project that gathers a rotating cast of A-list players with Paige's soulful songwriting prowess including James Nash (The Waybacks), Jordan Feinstein (Jordan and The Rituals), Joe Craven (Garcia/Grisman), Robin Sylvester (RatDog), Gabe Ford (Little Feat) and more. Her debut record, Firefly, was released in the acclaimed Grate Room at Terrapin Crossroads.
