I sit down with the incredibly talented Philadelphia-based singer-songwriter and ukulele player, Sug Daniels. Originally from Smyrna, Delaware, Sug has carved out a unique space in the music world with her soulful blend of folk, rock, and alternative influences. We delve into her journey from growing up in a rural town, finding her identity as a queer artist, and making the move to Philadelphia, where she has continued to develop her sound and message.

Sug shares her experiences leading the bands Hoochi Coochi and FlowCity, and what inspired her to step out as a solo artist. We also discuss her upcoming performances, including her highly anticipated set at the Philadelphia Folk Festival 1 p.m. Saturday, Aug. 17 on the Tank Stage, and the creation of her latest EP. Sug's music has been featured on NPR, WXPN, and even Good Morning America, and she continues to be a powerful voice for truth and positive change.

Whether you’re a longtime fan or just discovering Sug Daniels, this episode offers a deep and personal look at the artist behind the music.
