Spring may not seem like the right time to bring in Autumn Rainwater, but there's never a bad time to catch up with this local R&B sensation. We talked to Autumn about last year's release, Leaf, and whether all these connections to nature are purposeful.

We also discussed the local R&B scene, dating stoners and why friends are weary of leaving her a voicemail.

As always, catch up with our past episodes on iTunes, Stitcher or by simply typing "Local Vibes" into your Spotify search bar.

Also, be sure to check out the newly formed Queen City Podcast Network, featuring five of the city's best podcasts, including yours truly. There's plenty of content to keep you in the local loop until we return next week.
