Annie & Cranston Clements on musical lineage, tour-life advocacy, and 150 hits of acid.

What does it mean to treat music not as a commodity, but as a multi-generational way of life? We sit down with father-daughter side musicians Cranston and Annie Clements. Cranston, a cornerstone of New Orleans music history, has played guitar with royalty like Dr. John, Allen Toussaint, and Irma Thomas. His daughter Annie is the bass player for for massive acts including Sugarland, Maren Morris, and Hootie & the Blowfish. The duo brings a unique perspective on the lineage, structural hurdles, and profound beauty of the side musician's journey. Annie shares her vital advocacy work supporting motherhood in the music industry, including the stark lack of childcare infrastructure in the touring industry. Meanwhile, Cranston details his wild roots in the 1960s counterculture and how a single performance could dismantle a lifetime of prejudice. It is a study on what it truly means to be a "joy facilitator."
