Courtney McClean (Twin Cities Hit Show, Courtney McClean and the Dirty Curls) talks about her many phases as a performer, the difference between stand up and improv, the inherent awkwardness of performers, want she wants for her band and how she finally feels ready for success. She discusses what naughty-billy music is, and how being in a band is like a relationship. We also try very hard to get Maker’s Mark to sponsor the show. Then Courtney (and Philip) play some songs for us. Mostly about having sex. With dead people.
