Summary

"So then, you know, you have the Twisted Sister crew doing yoga and eating kale salad. it's so good. Like, now I'm literally known as the plant-based bassist." -Tanya O'Callaghan

Tanya O' Callaghan, aka, the Plant-based Bassist, has toured, recorded, written and worked with legends such as Maynard James Keenan (Tool/APC), Dee Snider (Twisted Sister) Steven Adler (Guns N' Roses) Nuno Bettencourt (Extreme), The Riverdance, The Voice, Orianthi, Michael Angelo Batio, Kevin Godley, Sharon Corr (The Corrs) and David Gray, to name a few…

She spent much of this year on tour with White Snake and is about to take off again, this time with Bruce Dickinson from Iron Maiden. During the break in between, she came to New York City. She and I dined on some of the city's best vegan dishes while attempting to solve many of the world's problems, especially those relating to our food system.

She is as passionate and outspoken about veganism and animal rights as anyone I've ever met, and the best part is that she has figured out a way to combine that message with the music.

Please listen and share.

ps. This is our last episode of Season 8. We will be back in early 2023 with Season 9.
