Our guest this episode is Carrie Akre, a major fixture in the Seattle rock music scene for the past 30 years. Carrie has put out a number of solo releases as well as fronted the bands Hammerbox, Goodness, and The Rockfords featuring Mike McCready of Pearl Jam fame. Hearing her story of walking into her first band audition after cold-calling an ad from a local newspaper is inspiring! She has most recently been working with individuals as an Intuitive Life & Creative Coach and you can reach her at this link.
