First of all, Merry Christmas everyone! As our gift to you, we are taking no days off and releasing this episode on Christmas Day.

This week we sat down with our New Old Friends Marlene Perez. Marlene is the badass singer of the band “The Rhythm Shakers”. We talk about the difficulties of managing a full-time job, being a single mom and fronting "The Rhythm Shakers". We also cover how she met our mutual friend Annie, how she got to be the singer of The Rhythm Shakers, singing and dancing as a child, discovering how deep her families musical roots go, her amazing and happy son Dion, and overall how she became to be such a badass person and friend to Mike and I.
