Pink Skirt was the demo title.

As Emma explains, The Putbacks have a habit of using in jokes to title their demo songs. But this one simply stuck.

As a single mother managing two young children and her career she found herself at a crossroads – would she move back to  her family in New South Wales or stick it out in Melbourne pursuing her love of music.

Thankfully she’s chosen Melbourne and word is we can expect at least a few more studio albums from her in the coming years -  as soon 2022 we’re told.

Emma’s choice for this episode is steeped in family – inspired by older and younger generations.

It’s from the 2020 album Crossover, from Emma Donovan and The Putbacks.

Their latest album is Under These Streets, released in September 2021.

I’ve always loved asking that to my Dad. Hearing Dad talk about work is especially fascinating to me because his 9 to 5 was fairly unique - his job, was keeping astronauts alive. Eventually, I decided to start recording some of his best work stories. Here are those stories as - My Dad Built Spaceships. The Jealous Curator : ART FOR YOUR EAR The Jealous Curator ART FOR YOUR EAR brings you stories from some of my favorite contemporary artists. When I studied Art History, the best part was, well, the gossip. I loved finding out why artists did certain things, what was going on in their personal lives, and behind-the-scenes details about other artists they knew and worked with. This podcast is exactly that ... inside-scoop stories from the artsiest people I know. You'll hear first-hand from these talented, successful, full-time artists (who also happen to be regular people with hilarious stories) BEFORE they're in the Art History books. - Danielle (aka The Jealous Curator)
