In the finale of a three-part series, Taraleigh and Leah ask live music fans, musicians, and industry personnel to describe a recent peak live music experience. The pair then talk about how these can provide long-term therapeutic benefits using examples from Dr. Leah’s research as well as topics discussed in past episodes, particularly the holistic nature of live music from Episode 37: Embracing Magic in the Other with Ezra Lipp.

Dr. Leah describes how reliving these experiences, and even just listening to them, can have beneficial health benefits and Taraleigh leads listeners through a technique to enhance this possibility. Also included are tips and techniques of how to get the most out of live music from a health perspective.

Hear peak musical experiences as both performers and audience members from Ryan Dempsey from Twiddle, Eric Gould from Pink Talking Fish and Marble Eyes, Jeremy Kaplin and Brian Murray from Dogs in a Pile, Brett Wilson from Roots of Creation, and members of Annie in the Water, plus more!
