Jordan is an aspiring musician who lives in Loveland, Colorado (about 20 minutes from Boulder) and does multiple gigs: she sells jewelry on Etsy, she bakes cakes for random friends’ events, she cleans houses, and, most importantly to her, she plays the harp and sings. She talks about the surprisingly high cost of housing in this part of central Colorado, her and her husband applying for a home through Habitat for Humanity (she’s on the list and waiting to hear), and how she mainly gets to her various gigs when her son is in daycare. She also talks about how she was drawn to the harp (initially through the musician Joanna Newsom), how she gradually bought her way into bigger and better harps over the years, and what her experiences have been playing in public, mainly busking in high-traffic public locations.
