This week we’re joined by San Francisco based theatrical rock and roll powerhouse, Kat Robichaud. Drawing on the momentum of her top 10 spot on NBC’s The Voice as well as almost a decade of experience in the music industry, Kat has released her latest album “Kat Robichaud and the Darling Misfits” in early 2015. As well as the usual topics of love and heartbreak, Kat is unafraid to tackle the issue of gender inequality in her music, and that’s just one of the many reasons we love her.
