This week we get to hang with the one and only Melissa Brain! Not only does she have the MOST iconic hair-do of anybody we know, she's become one of the most iconic drummers as well!

We dive into her drumming origin story, her thoughts on all things drums, and how getting to play with the people you admire is the coolest thing on the planet. Oh yeah, and Star Trek.

This week music maven Jane Carver joins us on the supercast! Jane is a true performer in every sense of the word as well as an accomplished multi-instrumentalist. We chat about her constant quest to learn more instruments (I.e. the bagpipes), how Jane introduced Mikey to his wife Sarah, a formative childhood performance as the only girl in an all boys school, working as a tour guide in an ancient Philadelphia graveyard, fear of heights and stage frights, literally breaking a leg, performance and the anxiety that comes with it, and how all of her past traumas will ultimately be tied up in a neat little bow that will become her newest piece of work.
