The Seltzer Salon #7: Nina Dante & The Snake Said to the River

Straight up, I love Nina Dante and her project, The Snake Said to the River. It has brought me so much joy over the last year or so, and continues to just thrill and excite me. In it, Dante digs into music and writing from Medieval era, traditional folk music, plus her own original pieces. There’s also exploration of the natural world and the histories (and mysteries) of language. It's whimsical and wonderful in every way (kind of like Nina!). We get into the origins of her interest in all things witchy and medieval, favorite flowers, early music, and so much more. https://www.instagram.com/thesnakesaidtotheriver/ https://www.youtube.com/@thesnakesaidtotheriver https://www.tiktok.com/@thesnakesaidtotheriver https://ninadantebethanyyounge.bandcamp.com/album/lizard-tongue The Seltzer Salon is a concise, conversational podcast hosted by Brad Rose and produced by Foxy Digitalis. Each episode features a musician, artist, writer, or anyone, really, focusing on a single project or idea. I know we all have limited time each day, so I wanted to do something a little smaller scale with just as much impact, so episodes will be 25-45 minutes in length.

There are so many aspects of Saloli’s “Canyon” that are right in my wheelhouse, it’s probably no surprise that I love this record. It’s special, though.

Foxy Digitalis Daily - July 24, 2023: Mondoriviera "Frenton Cantolay"

Another solo parent week begins, and promised to be filled with tater tots, chicken nuggets, and Taylor Swift. I’m not complaining, just like I’m not complaining about the wild ride today’s pick leads us on - Mondoriviera’s “Frenton Cantolay.” Plus, Lily Taylor’s new record, “Amphora,” is out now and it’s a delight.
