229: Anna Waronker (That Dog)

Anna Waronker was born into a storied music family, but--as a
child--she dreamed of working at the post office or becoming an
accountant. Her gift for angular melody and vivid lyricism led
her to pursue the family trade after all. She tells Joe about:
attending artsy alternative school Crossroads; recognizing her
gift for songwriting; the evolving band dynamic of That Dog;
co-parenting with another musician (husband and Trap Set alum,
Steven McDonald); and the liberating feeling that accompanies
scoring for film and tv. Be sure to check out That Dog's upcoming
show 11/16 at The Regent in Los Angeles.
