The Moose Piano Lounge is a reminder that even in the darkest of times, there is still beauty to be found in music.
When life throws a curveball, some people pick up a bat, but Chrissy Gardner picked up her piano. In this episode of 'The Lighter Side with Jay', host Jay Casale chats with singer/songwriter Chrissy Gardner, who found a unique way to stay afloat during the pandemic. Chrissy, a single mother from Connecticut, started 'The Moose Piano Lounge' on Facebook Live as a way to keep herself grounded both financially and mentally.
With a giant picture of a moose as her backdrop, she transformed her living room into a virtual concert hall, complete with guest appearances from puppets and dance troupes at her window. What began as a simple coping mechanism quickly turned into a beloved weekly event. Jay and Chrissy share laughs and stories about their pandemic projects, discussing how these creative outlets have become like full-time jobs in the absence of traditional employment.
They dive into Chrissy's career in music, the challenges she faced, and the solace she found in her art. The conversation also touches on broader topics like systemic issues in housing and racial equality, the power of deep listening, and the role of social media in connecting people during tough times. This episode is a testament to the resilience of artists and the healing power of music.
Tune in to be inspired by Chrissy's journey and discover how creativity can light up even the darkest days.
