Fronting Femme and Queer Bands | Local Music Shapes Culture

One of my favorite guests I’ve had so far on this podcast :) Z honestly gets my whole DIY band experience from joining the scene, starting bands, and performing more than anyone I have gotten to talk to on this pod. We dive into the experience of struggling to find girl bandmates, the anxiety of performing, the mental block of idolizing performers before you are a performer yourself, and the struggle of booking your band when you have a weird band that does not fit into any clear-cut genre. Listen to this podcast to get real with me and Z.Thumbnail picture: Julia HersheyConnect with Gooseflesh on InstagramWhat was novel or unexpected to you when you joined your local music scene?What has been your struggle starting or joining a band?Watch more Local Music Shapes Culture: YouTube | SubstackListen now on Spotify | Apple MusicFollow me on Instagram | TikTok Local Music Shapes Culture is a reader-supported publication celebrates life in local music scenes, insights and resources on building community, and rock.
