Claire Tonti is a Naarm-based singer/songwriter and podcaster. While she’s spent time in the trenches of motherhood, teaching, CEO-ing of the Big Sandwich Media Company and former Primary School Teacher and sound and media (including with her super interview pod TONTs), it’s only in the last little while that she’s finally made it back to music.

The result is her debut album “Matrescence”. In these 11 songs Claire has dug into the process and transition that happens with child rearing – following the ups and downs all, somehow, with melodic contour and acoustic approach that covers both the sweet, and sour, of it all. It’s nostalgic, hopeful, real and bloody lovely, actually. Welcome to the show, Claire Tonti, and this episode also includes clips from the album track “This Mother Thing”, “All Kinds of Lovely”, and “Fear to Feel”, all used with permission.

Somewhere in the music industry, between 'sex drugs and rock and roll' and The Wiggles, is the rest of us. 'Music Mothers and Others' is an audio parents group -a chance to discuss how parenting fits (or doesn't) into music industry life. During the series we'll talk to people from across the industry - artists, promotors, techs, broadcasters, writers, academics, teachers - anyone who has a gig in 'industry', whatever that means.

Hosts Liz Giuffre and Shelley Brunt are industry veterans, academics and parents - as well as members of the broader village. For more see us at https://musicmothersandothers.com/ and of course at 2SER FM, https://2ser.com/
