Episode 13: Annie Haslam - Renaissance's 50th Anniversary

<p>For this episode I'm joined by Annie Haslam of the legendary symphonic progressive rock band Renaissance. The band just released its 50th anniversary live box set with the prog-length title 50th Anniversary Ashes are Burning, an Anthology - Live in Concert with the Renaissance Chamber Orchestra. Annie was kind enough to talk to me about making the live album, her long tenure in the band, her background in music, her artwork (which adorns the stage during the live performance), riding out the pandemic, and more. It was a fun interview and a must-listen for Renaissance fans.</p> <ul><li>Find out more about Renaissance and order their 50th anniversary live box set <a href='https://renaissancetouring.com/'>here</a>.</li> <li>Check out <a href='https://anniehaslam.com/product-category/annie-haslam-original-art/'>Annie's artwork here</a>.</li> </ul> <p>I appreciate you listening!
