Manage episode 403560165 series 3372635
Have you ever experienced that magical moment when music bridges the gap between generations? Our latest chat with Sharri Scott dives into the heart of Chicago's Rock and Roll Playhouse, where families are grooving together to live music tailored for kids but with a vibe that keeps the adults tapping their feet. Peter Shapiro's brainchild, crafted alongside early education expert Amy Striem, has revolutionized family concerts, making them a shared joy rather than a parental chore. Sharri's stories of the Playhouse's origins and her own Windy City journey with the program echo the laughter and connection that only music can foster.
Sharri divulges some secrets as to how one can be an effective fundraiser and talks about her journey into the world of marathons and non-competitive distance running. She also shares some of her favorite and least favorite aspects of Chicago and specifically Humboldt Park. Anyone remember Chance the Snapper?!?!?
When the world turned virtual overnight, local bands and our communities were thrown for a loop, but the beat went on—online. This episode tunes into how artists spun the challenge into an opportunity, creating at-home concerts that kept spirits high. We also pour out the tale of boozy pudding shots, illustrating how creativity and camaraderie can flourish, even when times are tough. So, grab your headphones, and let's celebrate the resilient rhythm of our lives with a soundtrack that reminds us that every cloud has a silver rock-and-roll lining.
