SHEROES

Chicago musician Lili Trifilio started Beach Bunny as a solo project a decade ago, expanded to a four-piece in 2017 while she was in college, and has been steadily releasing EP's and albums annually from 2015 until 2022. During those seven prolific years, there were two songs that went viral on TikTok resulting in external and internal pressure to keep pace with their success, even when the world had slowed down to a halt during the pandemic. Lili sits down with Carmel Holt to share how the three years following their last album found the band adjusting to new norms, and a rapidly changing world. After making some much needed changes, Lili found her creative stride once again, and Beach Bunny has recently released their fantastic third full length album, Tunnel Vision.

The extraordinary singer, songwriter, guitarist, and multi-instrumentalist Madison Cunningham returns to SHEROES this week to discuss her third album, Ace, what she has learned about expressing anger, and stepping into a new era of creative liberation, as she is caring less than ever about industry recognition and more about writing music she adores.

A star of the bluegrass and Americana scene, award-winning guitar prodigy Molly Tuttle joins Carmel Holt to discuss her newest album, So Long Little Miss Sunshine, which sees Molly exploring some new sonic paths in her songwriting and production, with an all new band. Molly also shares her origin story, and not only witnessing but taking part in growing the visibility of women as instrumentalists and bandleaders in bluegrass.

Deerhoof's vocalist, songwriter, and bassist, Satomi Matsuzaki joins us this week to talk about Deerhoof's twentieth album, Noble and Godlike In Ruin, their three decades as a band, and carrying the message of what they believe in.
