Hey, I'm Nora Jones, and today I'm playing along with Sasha Dobson.

I'm just playing along with you.

I'm just playing along with you.

Hey, I'm Nora. Welcome to the show.

With me as always, Sarah Oda. Hi there. Odda-chan.

Hello. Hi. Hi. Our guest today is our sister. She is sister. Sister. Sasha Dobson is a singer, a songwriter, an incredible guitar player. I love her drum grooves. And she happens to be both of our oldest friends in New York City.

This is true. Yeah. She's also a dancer, but you'll hear more about that later.

Yeah. She's one of my favorite, favorite most beloved people in my life, actually. She's one of my best friends and she's one of my favorite

people to collaborate with. She's put out a lot of albums as a solo artist, but she's also a band

made of yours in Puss and Boots. That's right. With Catherine Popper. Yep, we have a band together.

In this band, we sort of learned how to play guitar a little bit together.

Then she switched to drums and started playing drums.

It's been a really fun band of experimentation and chasing different things just for fun and songwriting.

Yeah, she's a very accomplished, beautiful songwriter, but she's also such a good improviser that I feel like she's a

fun musician to have around to kind of just, like, anything's possible.

I definitely feel like anything's possible with Sasha.

Like, she's always up for anything musically as well, which kind of goes back to, I think,

being raised jazz in that school of music and improvising.

I felt like having Sasha on the show was sort of a no-brainer because the heart of our show is about collaborating.

And I feel like there's something so natural and easy about collaborating with somebody that you know so well.

Yeah.

Like a family member.
