Koralee Tonack - Spygirl No. 7 is a Good Hang
Show Notes Chapter Markers

Koralee Tonack is a gifted singer and long-time bandmate of Music Buddy host, Jane Gowan. As musical collaborators in the 90s and early 2000s, Koralee and Jane developed a unique but accessible sound, first as the acoustic folk/pop duo Time Waits, then gradually evolving to form Spygirl, a 6-piece power pop group.

Enjoy the conversation between two good friends as they talk about the joys and challenges of life in an indie band.

You'll also hear a new Music Buddy Band song called "Swimming", written by Jane and featuring Koralee on lead vocals, Jon Roper on guitar, Tim Vesely on bass, guitars, percussion, and Jane on piano and background vox.
