Flock Talk with the Femme Flock
Welcome to Flock Talk, the ultimate jam band community podcast where the grooves are endless, and the vibes are infectious!
We’re Niki and Jess ~The Femme Flock~ and were two jamband fans who met at a Goose show and are building a community celebrating the culture, creativity, and camaraderie of the jam band scene. Flock Talk is more than just a podcast, it’s a movement to amplify women and underrepresented voices in a historically homogenous space.
Each episode, we dive into the world of jam bands through a fresh, femme-forward lens, chatting with the musicians, entrepreneurs, creatives, and fans shaping the scene. From on-lot fashion and festival wellness to life on tour and the magic of live music, we’re here for the stories, the culture, and the people who make this scene sparkle.
So grab your glitter, bubble guns, and flock on.

Episode 19: The Flock Talks Embracing the Cringe with Sarah Elaz
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.
