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!

Ben Lee and Georgia Maq – Music Mothers and Others

Our guests today are Ben Lee and Georgia Maq, who are about to embark on their “Two Most Annoying People You Love Tour” around Australia. If you know Georgia from Camp Cope but don't know Ben then do a deep dive – and vice versa if you're a Ben fan but are new to Georgia's solo stuff in particular. Annoying fans from the nineties, naughties and today with their stubbornly brilliant lyrics and melt the hardest of hearts harmonies, coming together means joining different generations and approaches to bloody good Aussie music. We’re thrilled to have them here, telling us about what they do and how the industry could do it better. See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
