In this episode, Stephanie talks to musician Aaron Williams (founder of the Homegrown Arts & Music Festival) about his career, early inspirations, pre-show attitudes, and so much more. Listeners on the network may recognize this guest from his episode of #ArtCanFix! Aaron has been a mainstay in the Chicago original scene for so long, and has many feelings and strategies that he wishes younger musicians would follow in order to keep the scene alive.

This week, longtime friend, magician, and Ph.D. in math Tori Noquez joined Stephanie in the green room during a break from a very important math conference which brought her back to Chicago. Tori touches on what got her into performing magic, her membership to the elite Magic Castle in Hollywood, and what it’s like to be a woman in two fields highly dominated by men. Because of her background in logic, Tori was able to talk about anxiety, and how our bodies respond from a different perspective than other guests, and offered good advice to Stephanie. The two talk about how nerves affect them pre-show, and that usually the trigger isn’t the show itself, but having to accept our human qualities we are afraid may show during the performance. Listen in and get a sneak peak of a math magic trick.Tori Noquezhttps://www.facebook.com/tori.noquez.magic/https://www.instagram.com/sassmatician/https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCeEbnVyAFJCBZzxVxJdZ9ygITGR / Stephanie / Isabellahttps://artfinixstudios.com/in-the-green-roomhttps://artfinixstudios.com/artfinix-podcasts/https://www.facebook.com/ArtfinixPOD/https://www.instagram.com/artfinixpodcasts/https://www.instagram.com/inthegreenroompod/https://www.instagram.com/gwenafrave/https://www.instagram.com/isabellaeliopulos/https://www.instagram.com/singinnnsongs/Theme by Adam SteinLogo by Allie Shapiro

Ex-bandmates (but not ex-friends) Elianne and Stephanie sat down with a bottle of vinho verde one Friday afternoon, talked a little past, a lot of present, and a little future, as artists and as people. To be a woman in the industry is tough enough, but Elianne’s point of view as a Latina woman in the industry is one that should be noted, and also praised.Aside from the things which make them different, Stephanie and her guest bond over pre-show prep, sister drama, and enduring potty-mouth humor.Elianne Nascimentohttps://www.facebook.com/mvsictolove/https://www.instagram.com/mvsictolove/https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCUh9OFJNx40zdO6oBxPwYaghttp://www.runforrestrunband.com/https://www.instagram.com/rfr90sband/ITGR / Stephanie / Isabellahttps://artfinixstudios.com/in-the-green-roomhttps://artfinixstudios.com/artfinix-podcasts/https://www.facebook.com/ArtfinixPOD/https://www.instagram.com/artfinixpodcasts/https://www.instagram.com/inthegreenroompod/https://www.instagram.com/gwenafrave/https://www.instagram.com/isabellaeliopulos/https://www.instagram.com/singinnnsongs/Theme by Adam SteinLogo by Allie Shapiro

Jake is back from vacation and he's really happy, because it means he's no longer constantly short of breath due to the altitude. Don't get him wrong, he loves nature and being outside on vacation.

Stephanie also learns that they may be polar opposite green room personalities.We hope this conversation and this video (https://youtu.be/41AY1Kv55do) inspire creativity and self-discovery.

In the green room this week is James Henry Wineman III, aka Jamie Wineman, aka Jimmy Con. Though he identifies as a producer these days, he is still the same Jimmy Con that Stephanie met rapping onstage back in the winter of 2009. They reminisce on that fateful night, which made them instant friends; complete with Stephanie’s trademark intense energy (the only proof being a lost MySpace photo and a screenshot from their Facebook friendship).Past projects such as Ghost House come up, and current productions with DownVega (yes, named after his hilarious husky Vega). The two also bond over discovering how to play synth both onstage, and in their living rooms.Breaking down barriers and expectations, Jamie launches into the truth that as a performer, he has had to cope with gut-wrenching anxiety, and panic attacks. Proof that no matter how tough a person can look on the outside, there is still a sensitive, beating heart on the inside.Jimmy Conhttps://www.jimmycon.com/https://www.instagram.com/sweddiemurphy/https://m.soundcloud.com/downvegahttps://www.instagram.com/downvega/Stephanie’s Ghost House Reviewhttp://thefrave.blogspot.com/2009/03/ghost-house-group-therapy.htmlStephanie’s Recommended Listeninghttps://m.soundcloud.com/jimmycon/janet-jackson-dammn-baby-jimmy-con-remixITGR / Stephanie / Isabellahttps://artfinixstudios.com/in-the-green-roomhttps://artfinixstudios.com/artfinix-podcasts/https://www.facebook.com/ArtfinixPOD/https://www.instagram.com/artfinixpodcasts/https://www.instagram.com/inthegreenroompod/https://www.instagram.com/gwenafrave/https://www.instagram.com/isabellaeliopulos/https://www.instagram.com/singinnnsongs/Theme by Adam SteinLogo by Allie Shapiro

And, mirroring the real green room experience of bandmates swirling around the room with funny anecdotes as the girls prep, Chris Servia jumps in on the conversation every so often as well.Listen in as a couple of strong women discuss who they are, where they’re from, what they did.....and if there’s anything to know about stages they’ve shared in the past, it’s that somehow Backstreet Boys played a part in their history.Karma Committee / Kate Brasselhttp://www.karmacommittee.com/https://www.facebook.com/KarmaCommitteeChicago/https://www.instagram.com/karma_committee/https://www.instagram.com/kate_karmacommittee/ITGR / Stephanie / Isabellahttps://artfinixstudios.com/in-the-green-roomhttps://artfinixstudios.com/artfinix-podcasts/https://www.facebook.com/ArtfinixPOD/https://www.instagram.com/artfinixpodcasts/https://www.instagram.com/inthegreenroompod/https://www.instagram.com/gwenafrave/https://www.instagram.com/isabellaeliopulos/https://www.instagram.com/singinnnsongs/Theme by Adam SteinLogo by Allie Shapiro

This week, Stephanie invited her friend Lisa over to talk about her unconventional entrance into the world of performing. Unlike so many others, Lisa wasn’t placed in piano lessons or ballet classes, or dropped off at the community theatre as a kid. Lisa quite literally leaned into performance as a necessity when life had no other options to present. The world of exotic dance led her to teaching, exploring her own physicality, and helping others to explore theirs.A pole dancer before it was cool to wear a rhinestone “Pole is Life” shirt to brunch with your friends, Lisa illustrates a story very familiar to other artists in Stephanie’s green room.Lisa Michellehttps://www.thetiprail.com/https://www.instagram.com/poleyourheartout/Love Lost: A Comedy Eventhttps://www.eventbrite.com/e/love-lost-tickets-55408440136?discount=stephanieHelp Madison Find a Forever Homehttps://www.instagram.com/aliverescue/ITGR / Stephanie / Isabellahttps://artfinixstudios.com/in-the-green-roomhttps://artfinixstudios.com/artfinix-podcasts/https://www.facebook.com/ArtfinixPOD/https://www.instagram.com/artfinixpodcasts/https://www.instagram.com/inthegreenroompod/https://www.instagram.com/gwenafrave/https://www.instagram.com/isabellaeliopulos/https://www.instagram.com/singinnnsongs/Theme by Adam SteinLogo by Allie Shapiro
