In addition to the interview, they asked me to talk about ten of my favorite female musicians, for their blog/playlist ‘Girls on Your Turntable.’  My playlist is pretty badass, if I do say so myself!!  I had a blast working on it.  

Check out the interview and listen to my ‘Turntable’ playlist HERE!

And a HUGE thank you to the ‘Kitchen Sister’ writer Patty Fung for making it happen!

True Lemon’s mantra is ‘Live True’ and they strive to help people live their truest, fullest, and healthiest life.  I am thrilled that they have chosen to help keep our VW Camper Van on the road by sponsoring this adventure we are on to live our truest lives.  Please FRIEND, FOLLOW and CHECK OUT this amazing company who supports independent music! 

If you’re on Twitter, please help me thank @truelemon for supporting the @kelleymcrae LIVE TRUE TOUR!
