On this, the first of my Katrina Series of podcasts, I welcome my old friend Georgia Agerton (AKA Georgia McBride) who is a music therapist with McConnell Music Therapy Services in Northern California.
Georgia does amazing work for her clients and gives a beautiful run-down of what music therapy is, how it is used from beginning of life to end of life, different factions within music therapy as a discipline, and insights into brain science.
Back in August of 2005, Georgia and I had the shared trauma of having to evacuate from New Orleans with the advance of Hurricane Katrina. Georgia's family was gracious enough to put up my whole band in their house so we could be safe in the aftermath. From there, we both ended up in the city of Chicago, where we both had to pick up our lives and figure out what we were going to do. In this episode, we dive into some of our experiences at that time.
Georgia was a groomsmaid in my wedding and we've stayed close over the years, and this was an incredible opportunity to get to know my friend better as a professional. I hope you all learn something new about music therapy and enjoy our fun conversation!
