Episode Description
Kim Ware tours and writes music with her solo project, The Good Graces, and in a band, Y'All'Re. Ware shares how she's balancing her work with writing, recording, and weekend touring. Sloane Spencer rants about music promotion companies sending AI pitches, and the importance of building real life community in music. We laugh about music fandom, fangirl encounters with musical heroes, and the moments that remind us why we love making and sharing music. Whether you're an artist, a dedicated listener, or simply love a great conversation, this episode offers an honest, entertaining look at creativity, connection, and the joy of music.
