Imagine you’re a tween or a teen in suburban America. The walls shake with the sound of band practice in the family garage. Except that it’s your mother practicing, not you! Rockin’ Moms came to SXSW to show that mothers can kick out the jams, too. Rockin’ Moms founder Tiffany Petrossi, Mydols guitarist Judy Davids and 3 Kisses frontwoman Tish Meeks talk about the joys and challenges of being musicians and moms. Davids is also the author of Rock Star Mommy, published by Citadel, whose parent company is also this humble vidblogger’s employer. — Robin Cook
