Come on in - you're all welcome here - have a seat! Sat down with Drew to discuss growing up in California, and a chance childhood Grateful Dead concert that would change her life. We discuss her passion for music (Bass) and her musical influences - Paul McCartney and Phil Lesh.
We chat about her band 'Zambi' and the 'intention' of music as prescribed by Col. Bruce Hampton. We discuss how the jam band 'scene' has changed for good and bad over the past decade, and her life in the LGBTQ community in Asheville, NC.
We talk about her recent confirmation at the Trinity Episcopal Church in Asheville, and the importance of Faith in her life.
We wrap things up with a discussion around Widespread Panic's album 'Everyday' - and why that studio album is both of our favorites.
