AUX Weekly chats with Diane Birch about her album 'Bible Belt'

by Ciaran Thompson

In an interview with AUX Weekly’s Barry Taylor, singer/songwriter Diane Birch chats about her debut album released last year entitled Bible Belt. Although she experienced a religious upbringing, the singer speaks about her current stance and how her past still effects her music today. “I’m not religious now,” she said. “I’m a spiritual person…but the one thing that has stuck with me since my upbringing is that I still use a lot of religious terminology. The songs that come effortless to me are really rooted in church hymns in a way. I don’t ascribe to that stuff, but I’ve sort of embraced the fact that it’s still much a part of who I am.”
