Mara Connor

<p><strong>American Songwriter</strong> describes this week&#39;s guest as “a mod balladeer and indie folk goddess&quot;. Once they hear singer/songwriter <strong>Mara Connor</strong> talk about her beloved 5 year old <strong>poodle</strong> <strong>Josie</strong> they just might want to add &quot;nature loving dog mom&quot; to that description. We&#39;re excited to have this rising star on the show and share how this family dog adopted over covid quickly became hers, the many ways they are a in simpatico with one another and just what it took to win Best Rescue at their neighborhood block party. It&#39;s a great episode to listen to while you take your dog for a walk in the woods.</p><p><br></p><p>Mara will be playing live and on air at the <strong>WMOT Finally Friday</strong> show at Nashville’s 3rd &amp; Lindsley on August 7th.
