Listen "EP06 - Better Together | Janelle Thomas & Felix Frechette, with guest host Aston Wylie"
Episode Synopsis
It’s a friendly takeover!
Aston Wylie hosts a very special episode of The Lady J Podcast, interviewing Felix, my husband-slash-guitarist-slash-business partner, and me about our career together over the last two decades.
✨
Felix and I have been together since 2006, running a business and performing more than 2700 shows worldwide, and also, now, being very full-time parents to two small humans.
In this behind-the-scenes episode, we talk about how we got started gigging overseas, our experience travelling in the pre-GPS/pre-Google translate era, and all the times choosing a band name turned out to be trickier than we thought.
We talk about the generous offer that prompted us to write Noise Rises (our album of original music), the beauty in community we discovered live streaming during COVID, the best places we’ve played in Dubai, and what’s next for our career.
Across different countries, and through many permutations of the band, the one constant we have had is each other. Find out how we got here and where we’re headed... because we’re still going there together.
✨
Live performance veteran Lady J is having conversations with music industry professionals about what makes and sustains a career as a musician.
If you're looking to:
get your first gig

make your gigs more fulfilling and financially rewarding
Get practical advice from people who believe live music matters.
