#TheEdgeofEverydayPodcast | Ep 44 Finding Joy in Solos, Songs, and Stories with Sean Harkness and Liz Piccoli

Ep 44 | Finding Joy in Solos, Songs, and Stories with Sean Harkness and Liz Piccoli  10/2/25

Today we are #LIVEintheHIVE with two special guests, multi-award-winning guitarist and singer/songwriter, Sean Harkness - and Liz Picolli, SDC director/choreographer, and founder/artistic director of Queen of Rogues Arts Space in Woodstock, NY.
Sean is returning to The Plum at Traver Hollow House (www.ThePlumTH2.com)  on Saturday October 18th with his SOLO show, Just Me: Solos, Songs, and Stories. He will also be performing at Queen of Rogues Arts Space in Woodstock on Friday, October 17th.

Today’s episode is of course, about plugging these upcoming shows, but more importantly, it’s a conversation about the power of ART – theatre, music, visual art, storytelling– to uplift and inspire – not only an audience, but also the performers themselves – in these challenging times.

It’s a conversation about building new performance and gathering spaces, creating and sharing safe, supportive and inclusive communities, and about RESISTANCE to authoritarianism through art, music, truth-telling, and storytelling.

We touch on…

- As you know, I always ask my guests, “What identity do you lead with”? And Sean and Liz have unexpected and wonderful answers to kick off this delicious and rich conversation.

- What inspired Liz to create and run Queen of Rogues Art Space.

- The importance of building community and being a part of many communities.

- Sean is most known for being a collaborator with other musicians and singers. What inspired him to create a solo show? And why now? Sean shares his goals, and the obstacles he overcame in sharing his own voice in a solo show.

- How creating/performing/artistry is keeping us sane and connected to joy in these challenging times.

- All this and SO MUCH MORE.

Sin padre

¿Conoces el impacto de la falta de padre? La experiencia personal ha revelado la devastación potencial que acecha a cada momento en una vida sin padre. De hecho, estadísticamente, los efectos tienen la probabilidad de retrasar o eliminar literalmente las buenas costumbres de vida, la destrucción de una cultura alentadora y la eliminación de padres con potencial de buen comportamiento de la sociedad.

Prayer Walking

Prayer walking is simply walking through your community while praying for people, and their needs. I think of it as activating one’s faith by putting “boots on the ground” to intercede for those around you claiming your neighborhood for Christ’s love and salvation. Whether alone, or with others, it's a way to invite God's presence into every heart in every home in your area. 

Through prayer, we partner with Jesus to bring hope and salvation to those around us. Prayer is powerful. Lives are transformed when believers pray. Imagine groups of prayer warriors walking the streets of villages and cities worldwide, lifting up their neighbors in Jesus’ love.

We are excited and blessed to be providing resources and training to accomplish this Holy mission. If you would like resources or guidance to start a prayer walk, you can contact me at Jon@ekb.world or visit www.ekb.world

We'd love to partner with you, pray with you, and even join you in your community prayer walks. If you feel led to support our ministry, your prayers and encouragement are invaluable. For those able to give financially, your contributions will help us equip churches worldwide to spread the gospel through prayer walking and other important ministries. You can learn more at www.EKB.world
