Vibraphonist Lolly Allen On Childhood Music & The Beauty of Jazz May 23, 2016

Show notes

I'm infinitely jealous of people who know how to play an instrument. My friend Lolly Allen is a professional vibraphonist and jazz musician. So cool! She writes, sings, and plays her own music. She talks about how her love for a toy as a child got her interested in music, and how her parents fostered that interested throughout college and beyond. This is a great example of a woman who is making her own way in the predominately masculine world of jazz and carving her own path. Plus we talk about the state of music in general today, my current audition situation, and a special guest stops by.

Don't you wish you could sit center stage and tell everyone what motherhood is really like? That's exactly what Expressing Motherhood is all about! Co-Founder Lindsay Kavet sits down to tell me the inspiration behind Expressing Motherhood and how it became a nationally recognized show. And we talk about Women in Film, they hyphenate moms, raising kids in the city of Hollywood, internet trolls (fuck 'em!), and why producers cast the same leading women over and over again instead of looking for more realistic faces. It's the biggest pain in my ass LOL Plus I ask for acting class suggestions (hit me up!). Follow @MIHpodcast on Twitter & Periscope, and Motherhood in Hollywood on Facebook and Instagram.
