Siren Songs: The Podcast Caroline McQuaig

California girl Mandy Lopez joins us today following the release of her single "Ain't it Funny." We chat about the ICONIC music video she self directed for the single, our writing styles and the irritating importance of aesthetics in the arts. Check out the video here!

We are so excited to welcome Brooke Bennish to the Siren Songs family this week to talk artistry, aesthetics, and Chappell Roan. Brooke's first single "I'll Get to the Point..." and it's sister song "She Doesn't Miss Me Anymore," are out now wherever you stream music, and find her on Instagram here.

Today we're joined by Emmy-winning writer, Off-Broadway producer/ performer, and Nashville songwriter Jacki Thrapp. This one is a real treat, Jacki gets candid about how much it costs to produce a musical, how much it costs to produce a single, and how much it costs to become a producer on her upcoming Edinburgh Fringe show. That's right, not only do we chat writing process and inspirations, we also talk NUMBERS.



Stream Jacki's music wherever you listen and support her upcoming Fringe show, Art of Selling Out, here.
