On today's episode, Rachel and KCPR Content Writer and DJ Sydney Osterbauer interview four women who have been vital to the success of San Luis Obispo's music scene over the past 4 years.

------------------------------------------------

Tasha Lee, bassist from Couch Dog, has been rocking house shows in San Luis Obispo since 2019. For the past 5 years, she's helped contribute to writing and performing music meant "for dancing, crying and kissing."

Skyllar Evans, lead singer for Plywood Love, was born and raised in the Central Coast. She's watched the ebbs and flows of our music scene throughout the years and now is entrenched in it as one of the most powerful, soulful voices.

Caitlyn Shank, lead singer for Earthship, knows a thing or two about ailens. Earthship is her first band, so she brings a fresh set of eyes onto the issues and experiences that arise from being a women in a popular music scene.

Cate Armstrong is passionate about mental health advocacy and works for Transitions-Mental Health Association as an Assistant Center Supervisor. In her spare time, she writes vulnerable and raw songs about her emotional experiences as a solo artist. Cate formerly sang for Purple Hibiscus, a popular local band in San Luis Obispo during the 2021-2022 academic year.

KCPR 91.3 presents SLO-FI, a podcast about the unique local music culture of San Luis Obispo. Nestled on the Central Coast between Los Angeles and San Francisco, San Luis Obispo has become a music destination, as well as a cultural hub for local artists, bands, and music venues.

We welcome back to the pod a friend of the show –– Ivan Ditscheiner!! Ivan has been a staple of SLO's music scene over the past 360 days. He has been a judge for Shabang's Battle of the Bands, recorded and mixed albums from bands such as Krooks and Couch Dog, and has worked with media outlets like Wav.zine and... KCPR!

In this episode, we give you a tour through Ivan's nonprofit recording studio, "The Rec Hub". To help explain some of the audio gear, our editor Pat Blaine joins the show!

While we were in the studio, we had a chance to talk with Margot Sinclair as they recorded their newest EP with Ivan. We talked about how their band formed and why they choose to come to The Rec Hub over anywhere else.

Go to therechub.org to learn more about who runs the studio, and how it began.
