Shayna BlassComment

Welcome back to Shay & The Good People podcast. Okay this is probably one of my favorite interviews because it is with my real life sister, Abigail Rose. We’ve always been close as sisters, but she is now my roommate. Sharing space, sharing gigs, sharing Brooklyn is all new! My life has been changed for the better now that she’s in town. She helps me get all my stuff to gigs and let me complain about the G train as much as I want. I’m really excited for you to hear this interview with my sister and I!

In this ep, we talk about:

  • Being from the same womb!

  • “Sisters swinning”! Jinx!

  • Abigail’s name changes

  • Our love for the art of drag and drag queens

  • Competitive dance as children was basically a drag show

  • Our first dance solos (costumes, props, tricks, and flips!)

  • Our first concert ever!!

  • Our first musical theatre performance

  • Our passionate mother and drummer father..

  • Exploring different instruments and Abigail’s guitar journey

  • Our high school shenanigans

  • Our parents’ love of the Beatles and their relation to John Lennon and Paul McCartney

  • Singing in the House!

  • Working through intense performance anxiety and self worth struggles

  • Being proud sisters <3
