Too Much

Cloud Nine 2.0

Welcome to Marti’s Music Kitchen, the Fun Music & Food Podcast where anything can happen! Today, we’re in the kitchen of Portland legend Jenny Conlee, who you might know from The Decemberists or any number of other ventures on the side (The Minus 5, Casey Neill and the Norway Rats, Black Prairie etc); but on this episode of Marti’s Music Kitchen, she’s also a gardener, a self-proclaimed music geek, and chef. 

As Jenny tells stories about being on tour, her family, and so much more, she’s also going to walk us through cooking Borshch, packed with fresh veggies straight out of her garden.

Listen along to learn some cooking hacks, experience stories, and hear some great live music on this episode of Marti’s Music Kitchen!
