In This Episode – Denise Parent of Brown Eyed Women

Denise Parent is the drummer and vocalist for the first all-female Grateful Dead tribute band. And we say “It’s about time!” Thanks to an introduction through David Ganz of The Grateful Dead Hour, host Thea Wood caught up with Parent for this remote interview. Parent covers a lot of ground, so pop in your earbuds and let’s get started with The Shakedown!

– Different styles of how men and women communicate
– Advice to young women wanting to enter the music biz

And, of course, Parent answers “The Shakedown” questions!
