A New Moon Bride | Singer-Songwriter Carly Kotula

The Overlook with Matt Peiken

Carly Kotula is an Asheville singer-songwriter who has gone through two name changes in the time I’ve known her. First to her married name—she first made her way in music as Carly Taich—and now to her new artistic persona, Moon Bride.

We talk with Carly here about her new album, “Insomnie,” and preview some songs from it. We delve into the motivations and symbolism behind her name change, the eclectic and personal nature of her music and how she’s expressing her music visually. We also talk about her commitment to her faith and about a bad experience she had recently with a music professional that compelled her to double down on her artistic independence.
