Lauren Recchia, aka LoWreck, and I were in a punk band together about 20 years ago. In this episode she shares her incredible story of joining that first band with no formal training in drums and a $200 drum kit...and how that led to her growing a music practice that she loves and being a part of a bunch of different bands in the Boston area since then. There is so much wisdom and inspiration packed in this episode, especially for those looking to get back into your music or join a band!*GIVEAWAY Sign up - I will be picking 3 WINNERS to celebrate getting to episode 63 (this was my goal when I started my podcast!)

Proof that time, day jobs, health challenges...etc...are not the problem preventing us from returning to our creative goals. WE are the problem.
