It’s always fun to have a studio full of powerful women, such as Said Kelley, Rachel Kurtz and Kashimana representing the Mama Hellcats, a coalition of musician moms including Annie & The Bang Bang, Samantha Grimes, Heartland Souvenirs (Nikki Lemire, Becky Schlegel and Katy Tessman) and Joyann Parker. First treat was having them sing in studio and spontaneously join in each other’s songs. Second treat was to hear the heart and interest they have in the upcoming Mama Hellcat on November 13 at the Hook & Ladder – especially recognizing the organizations that will be there: Sojourner Project, Bridging and The Dwelling Place.
Big thanks as always to Langen Goldstien (Girl at the Rock Shows) for cohosting. Our theme this week was parenting. You can check out the songs we played below or our aspirational playlist on Spotify.
