In this episode of Threads & Chords, Chelsea McWilliams of The Red Hill Valleys connects with host Anna Blair to share her journey from family jam sessions to international stages. She opens up about helping young musicians find their voices, rockstar moments with some surprises, and why staying grounded (and laughing) matters most. Candid, warm, and full of heart.

In this episode of Threads & Chords, host Anna Blair explores the art of making music from the ground up with Burlington native Paul Dickinson—seasoned drummer, craftsman, and founder of Udrum, the underground drum company. Paul takes us behind the scenes of his journey, from performing on stage to shaping custom drums by hand. It’s a conversation about rhythm, resilience, and the beauty of creating something lasting with your own two hands. Settle in for stories of sound, skill, letting go of perfectionism, and the heartbeat of craftsmanship.
