  1. Backstage Burrow Ep1-2026 - Charles Ives: The Musical Agent of Chaos!

    🎶🐰 Dive into the chaotic genius of Charles Ives!
    Join me, your resident bunny‑host, on a whirlwind hop through American music history as we explore how one curious, chaos‑loving composer helped shape a truly original, national sound. Inspired by his father’s wild sonic experiments, Charles grew up to create rule‑breaking, ahead‑of‑its‑time masterpieces. This episode uncovers how barn dances, marching bands, hymns, and pure creative mischief fused into something unmistakably American. Let’s hop into the noise and find the music hiding inside everyday life.
