Episode 579: Lili Blessing

Hello friends! I hope you're easing into your weekend in style. I'm in the midst of a week full of SKYROCKET! shows here in Austin and Houston. So far, it's been fun and inetersting. We even played a gig at 9:30 a.m. on Wednesday. I've been out of the "news loop" this week. I'm taking a stand. At least, I think I'm taking a stand. I was watching CNN too much. I don't even know if "the news" is really THE NEWS anymore. Do you feel like that? Now it's like a host and a panel and they argue and there's not any actual journalism. I watch Vice when i can, but that's not very often and the news cycle moves so fats that it almost doesn't make sense to watch it the next day. Anyway, I'm out of the TV news for now. 

My guest for episode 579 is the phenomenally talented and incredibly entertaining, Lili Blessing!Lili's gorgeous new album, Lifeline came out a couple of weeks ago. She's been making the press rounds and is about to start playing some shows. You can get the album on itunes and at liliblessing.com Lili and I have a great conversation about growing up traveling all over the world, growing up onstage with her mother, the legendary, Sara Hickman, writing the deepest songs at age 14, doing a TED Talk, dealing with arthritis and much, much more! I hope you enjoy getting to know Lili. I sure did. Let's get down!

Ciao! -JG
