Finding Lucinda Podcast Explores the Power of Self-Doubt with Charlie Sexton in New Episode

San Francisco, CA — The Finding Lucinda podcast, featured on Apple Podcasts' "New and Noteworthy" list, drops a powerful new episode this week featuring a conversation with legendary guitarist, songwriter, and producer Charlie Sexton.

Recorded at the cornerstone Austin music venue The Hole in the Wall, host ISMAY delves into Sexton’s journey as the first guitarist to perform with Lucinda Williams in 1979—when he was just a kid. Together, they explore the genius of Lucinda’s songwriting, the emotional struggles that come with self-doubt, and how that doubt can fuel artistic brilliance.

                 “She’s the Flannery O’Connor of that era of singer-songwriters,” Sexton shares in the episode.

This conversation is part of ISMAY’s personal road trip across Texas, Louisiana, and Tennessee, tracing the roots of Lucinda Williams. As a companion to the documentary film Finding Lucinda, the podcast captures ISMAY’s journey of self-discovery, conversations with Lucinda’s early collaborators (including future episodes with Buddy Miller and Mary Gauthier), and insights into the archives and venues where Lucinda’s music was born.

Finding Lucinda is ultimately a story about not knowing if you have what it takes to be the artist you dream of becoming—and searching for the courage to move forward anyway. Part memoir, part music history, and part spiritual road trip, Finding Lucinda is ultimately a story about self-discovery, artistic bravery, and learning how to move forward — even when you’re unsure where the road will lead.
