Audrey McGraw and Toni Cornell are the guests on the latest installment of the Lipps Service podcast, speaking with host Scott Lipss about a friendship born in a jewelry shop in Greece, growing up in backstages around the world and finding their own creative voices alongside their famous fathers Tim and Chris, respectively.
McGraw pens up about her recent pivot from acting, including her role on the hit show Landman, to fully committing to her musical journey. Meanwhile, Cornell reflects on growing up as a theater kid and the profound experience of performing with her late father, who encouraged her to embrace music without genre.
The pair share behind the scenes stories from Cornell’s harrowing battle with tonsillitis before a Rock & Roll Hall of Fame performance to a transformative backstage encounter with RAYE that changed her perspective on stage fright forever. McGraw recounts the Lukas Nelson meeting that led to their writing session for “Beautiful When I Cry,” and both artists talk about the musical moments that sparked their passion, from Lady Gaga to Aerosmith.
On the previous episode of Lipps Service, which was the first in the New Artist Spotlight, Izzy Escobar discussed her early musical training, the impact of leaving and returning home and the journey behind her breakout single “Vendetta.”
Since it began in 2018, the acclaimed podcast has featured many of the biggest voices and personalities in music, including exclusive interviews with Anthony Kiedis, David Lee Roth, Hozier, Maynard James Keenan, the Police’s Stewart Copeland, Mick Fleetwood, Nikki Sixx, Dove Cameron, Perry Farrell, the Kills and many more. Every few weeks, a new episode of SPIN Presents Lipps Service is available wherever you listen to podcasts.
