The singer and bandleader grew up playing in the Flying Neutrinos, the family band started by her father, Poppa Neutrino, that traveled the world by homemade rafts, trains and buses, and sheer determination. Documented in the film “Random Lunacy,” their unconventional lifestyle set the tone for Ingrid’s adventurous adulthood. After years as a solo artist and a stint fronting the Squirrel Nut Zippers, she comes clean about the ups and downs of her life as an entertainer in pursuit of the big time.

Topics include a sacrifice, LAPD, the blue bikes, a close call, a brunch, school reopening, a body condom, train hopping, “The Happiest Man in the World,” the hierarchy of needs, family life, chart success, identity, circus life, making the band, stage poise, the Squirrel Nut Zippers, Jimbo Mathis, an airport incident, the aftermath, sobriety, healing, formative experiences, surrender, back to work, transcendence, a song commission, a new record, the future of the music biz, and much more.
