Songs in Session: Head above water by Moemoeā (feat. Juliet McLean)

Episode 5: Moemoeā

In this episode of, I sat down with Sherrie and Chloe, the duo Moemoeā, for a conversation about music, friendship, and community. From meeting at their local theatre to juggling farm life with late-night gigs, they share the path that led them to become each other’s vocal sisters - their “vistas”. It’s a story about finding your people, making music where you are, and the simple magic of creative connection.

Scott Armstrong, along with his brother Mark is the writer and  frontman of folk-rock-pop band The Slacks.  Their music is a blend of humour, protest, and playfulness . We talk paradox, social commentary, and enjoy a jam on two of my favorite Slacks anthems Night Road and No Reason to Love.
