A variety of music genres, from rock to country, is included and promised quality entertainment for the entire familyâ, he says.
The Mothership Sessions shows are recorded in the studio of Karen Zoid. âNothing will ever replace a live concert in a stadium, an arena, or in a theatre, but lockdown has made us re-evaluate how we look at things. and this is not necessarily a bad thing – itâs just different. Likely, live shows will not be able to be presented anytime soon, but that wonât keep us from making music for our people. Escape is necessary for survival, and for this reason my colleagues and I want people to sit back and forget about this pandemic that is dominating our thoughtsâ, says Zoid.
