Flock Talk with the Femme Flock
Welcome to Flock Talk, the podcast from The Femme Flock celebrating the people, creativity, community, and culture that make the jam scene what it is.
Hosted by women from across the jam scene and members of The Femme Flock community, Flock Talk tells the stories of the people who make this scene more than just the music. We sit down with artists from the bands we love, emerging women musicians, community organizers, nonprofits, creatives, and the people building something special within the scene.
From life on tour and the magic of live music to community, fashion, wellness, and the wonderfully weird culture that comes with it, we’re here for the conversations you don’t always hear and the people worth knowing.
At its core, Flock Talk is about making more room at the party: amplifying women and underrepresented voices, building community, and celebrating a scene where everyone deserves to feel like they belong.
So grab your glitter, find your flock, and flock on.
This podcast is produced in partnership with Osiris Media.

This episode, NYC-based bassist, performer, and creative force Sarah Elaz joins us to talk about her journey from professional dance to the jam scene, picking up the bass during the pandemic, and building projects like Boojum, Bearly Dead, Bushwick’s Dead, and SEAP (Sarah Elaz’s Almost Phish).
We dig into creative identity, imposter syndrome, stage presence, and the art of “being cringe” online. Sarah shares how fashion fuels her performance, how TikTok became part of her expression, and what it’s like navigating the scene as a woman on stage.
She also opens up about her advocacy work and the women who’ve inspired her to show up fully, on stage and off.
A conversation about performance, projection, and permission: to be bold, to be weird, to be seen.
Trigger Warning: This episode includes discussion of sexual violence.
