Greetings from the Green Room

In this heartfelt and hilarious episode, Carrin and Kylei take you inside the Green Room Public House in Madison, WI~ a dream come true for their dear friends John and Teresa Marie Hardy. They sit down with Teresa to talk about the incredible energy of this new space, the legacy of Up North, and the creative community that brought the Green Room to life with serious love and elbow grease.

Teresa opens up about performing in the Respect: Women in Music showcase, what it's like to hit notes you didn’t know you had, and shares a powerful story of her journey to sobriety — celebrating 12 years alcohol-free. She reflects on the small gestures that made a big impact during her transition, and why creating safe, inclusive spaces for everyone (mocktails and all) is part of her mission.

Expect laughter, a little mischief (hello, feet pics and bad spray tans), and some real talk about healing, friendship, and building spaces from the heart.

Also mentioned: the People Brothers Band, barn sessions at Driftless Music Gardens, Taco Bell runs at 2am, and the power of a well-timed thumbs up.

Come for the vibes, stay for the pull tabs, and maybe leave with a selfie or two.
