On today's episode I talk to musician Anna Connolly. Originally
from Los Angeles, Anna grew up going to punk shows as a young
teenager, and when her family moved to DC in the 1980s, she and her
sister Cynthia became part of a small, nascent punk scene, which
later became what everyone knows as “DC punk rock.” Anna spent many
of her high school years working at a record store, buying records,
and going to shows. Though many of her friends were in bands (Minor
Threat practiced in the basement of her mom’s house), she didn't
feel a compulsion to play until much later in life, after she had
kids and got divorced. Her first album After Thoughts is out
now!
