"It was an absolute blast to talk with Sarah Dia Rue on this week's episode. If you've heard her music, or the music she makes in her other band, Twin Sines, you'd assume she's been playing music since she was a child, it's just so natural coming out of her. But as we talk, you'll learn that her devotion to music as a lifestyle and career came much later than you'd think. As she puts it, it takes a lot of courage and guts to be a musician. We talk about her going back to school for music, several years of non-stop gigs, how the pandemic helped her get serious about making her own music. It's a great talk, I got inspired, you'll all get inspired, it's an inspiring episode."

"The process of making MAN DOWN was emotional! We came out of the gate with a heavy album (at a heavy time during lockdown). I was processing so much of the past and present, so it was mental health mayhem at times. Today, I’m in a much more peaceful place. Getting MAN DOWN out of my system contributed to that positive shift."
