Hey everybody. So back in December of 2023, I had the pleasure of interviewing David Fichette and he was hosting a benefit concert at Belmont University in Nashville, Tennessee. And so I brought him on the podcast real quick just to tell everybody about the event that was coming up. And then I was fortunate enough to be able to attend that concert in Nashville in December. And part of that concert was a group that I immediately fell in love with.

Their music was soothing. It brought a ton of joy. It was beautiful. They were entertaining. They were fun to watch. And you could just feel their music. And so I was also lucky enough to be able to go backstage after the concert and meet a bunch of the artists. And that's where I found today's guest. So I am tickled pink to be able to tell you.

I am absolutely tickled to be able to introduce to you today's guest, the Shindellas. I am absolutely thrilled to introduce to you today's guest, the Shindellas.
