Sweetman Podcast: Episode 253 - Margot Pierard

An in-depth conversation with Hawke's Bay jazz singer Margot Pierard. We talk about being born into a musical family and growing up with music as the "sport" in the house. We talk about the great jazz divas and falling under the spell of singers like Nina Simone and Billie Holiday. We talk about performance and anxiety and the barriers to success when life and work gets in the way. We talk about communicating songs - selling the story of them while telling the song's history. And we talk through Margot's incredible passion and commitment to singing. Get full access to Sounds Good! at simonsweetman.substack.com/subscribe
