Shea Pierre is a Louisiana native, husband, father, pianist, and community activist. We talk about diet tips for busy musicians, low vibrational cats, experiencing taste on a deeper level, and what comes next for us post-Ida. He and his community lost their homes and most of their material possessions to Hurricane Ida. In need of support, but wanting to provide something of value in return, he released Food & Mood: a cookbook/album project for cultivating mindful, enriching meal experiences.
