Flock Talk with the Femme Flock
Welcome to Flock Talk, the ultimate jam band community podcast where the grooves are endless, and the vibes are infectious!
We’re Niki and Jess ~The Femme Flock~ and were two jamband fans who met at a Goose show and are building a community celebrating the culture, creativity, and camaraderie of the jam band scene. Flock Talk is more than just a podcast, it’s a movement to amplify women and underrepresented voices in a historically homogenous space.
Each episode, we dive into the world of jam bands through a fresh, femme-forward lens, chatting with the musicians, entrepreneurs, creatives, and fans shaping the scene. From on-lot fashion and festival wellness to life on tour and the magic of live music, we’re here for the stories, the culture, and the people who make this scene sparkle.
So grab your glitter, bubble guns, and flock on.
This podcast is produced in partnership with Osiris Media.
