This week on No Simple Road we are super stoked to have Leslie and Chelsea from The Goose Chicks Podcast as our guests. Leslie Mack is a long-time podcaster and jam-band aficionado. She previously produced & co-hosted Blackberry Jams presented by Ben & Jerry’s, an exploration of the intersections between the band Phish and Black Liberation. She brings a healthy obsession with Goose to the show as well as a genuine love for all the Goose Chicks out there. In her non-Goose obsessed life she is a Digital Strategist and Communications Director for The Frontline. Leslie hails from Flatbush Brooklyn and lives in Charlotte, NC.Chelsea Long is a lover of live music and, with the discovery of Goose, new to the jam scene. She found Goose at the start of her spiritual awakening and has a deep spiritual connection to their lyrics and meditative jams.Inspired by the Hungersite video series, Chelsea recently left her corporate job in nonprofit administration to start a creative art business making tie-dye clothing and accessories. She hopes to speak on the spiritual and creative connections between Goose’s music and fans.We talk with the ladies about:the unique time and place we are in right now as a musical community.removing 'Gatekeeping' and the barrier to entry from the Jam Band scene.Chelsea's experience coming into the scene during lockdown.the concept behind The Goose Chicks Podcast.creating safe spaces inside the shows and being free enough to have your own personal experience.the deliberate progression of 'Torch Passing'why Leslie loves to bring people to their first Goose show... and so much more!
