This mix is inspired by the live music I've seen recently and the female artists I've been listening to as a result of having two young girls in my life -- Josephin and Margaux. If it were totally up to them, the playlist would be mostly Flesh and Bone from Zombie Highschool, Taylor Swift, and Maggie Rogers ::) I was able to see James McMurtry this fall -- he is so amazing live -- go see him if you can! We just saw Maggie Rogers last week. And, I'm embarrassed to admit I have gone on long runs listening to Shaboozey -- Let it Burn, A Bar Song, and Highway -- on repeat for an hour... Maybe he sings at just the right pace for an old girl like me. Enjoy!
