We here at Music Mothers and Others LOVE talking about gigs that you can bring your kids to. And our next guest Liz Irby is someone who loves this topic as well! She lives in Collorado with her husband and two little  kids, where she works for a music non-profit called the Music Appreciation Society which curates intimate shows for multi-generation audiences.  AND She’s just completed a Masters with Distinction from the Berklee College of Music, with a thesis that explores the potential market for music concerts that provide onsite childcare. Our guest has a history of working in promotions, events, and tour managing — and she is also a singer who currently performs with her 5-piece band called Barely Folk. Joining us via Zoom, all the way across the Pacific ocean, is Liz Irby!

Patience Hodgson – Music Mothers and Others

Our guest today is Patience Hodgson. Patience stole the nation’s hearts as the lead of iconic Brissie band The Grates for nearly two decades. These days Patience still plays but in more select venues and occasions – with one of those excellent occasions being a special appearance at Small Fry Rock, the all ages gigs run by KJ Tainton that really do tick all the boxes for families enjoying music together. We’re thrilled to have you here, and still hopelessly devoted to you – Patience!See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
