Laura Bird Burhenn - The Mynabrids
<p>Singer-songwriter, writer, producer and activist <strong>Laura Bird Burhenn</strong> joins the show to introduce us to her spirit-lifting 5 year old dog <strong>Eero</strong>, who's a mix of twenty-one breeds with <strong>Collie</strong>, <strong>Pit</strong> <strong>Bull</strong>, <strong>Shepherd</strong> and <strong>Chow</strong> at the top of the list. We also remember Laura's soul dog <strong>Charlie, a Chesapeake Bay Retriever mix</strong> who was a true rocker dog that was raised in her record company's office, crisscrossed the US on tour, slept onstage while she sang, starred in music videos and made Late Night TV appearances. We touch upon all of this and more from an artist with an unwavering passion, dedication and advocacy for dogs, animals and humanity.</p><p><br></p><p>Laura will be playing a solo set at <strong>The Power of Us: Rock the Resistance</strong> concert at The Admiral in Omaha NE on Thursday, October 1st.
