It can be difficult to take that first step, in both music and in life. Waiting for the right opportunity to come along works sometimes, but often it doesn’t. Whether it’s learning a new piece or simply starting a new chapter in life, you’ve got to set it in motion somehow.
Vocalist and bassist Casey Lipka believes that the answer is simple. Just show up.
Lipka is an instrumentalist, vocalist and composer that splits her time between Sacramento and Los Angeles. A consummate collaborator, she has formed several of her own groups, toured with the popular Sacramento rock band CAKE, and has composed music for ballet dancers and museum installations among others.
Lately she’s focused mainly on original music, including a debut solo EP that’s out this month.
Lipka recently spoke with CapRadio Classical Host Jennifer Reason to discuss expressing herself through music and the power of simply showing up.
