Momma Returns!

Etta Friedman and Allegra Weingarten of Momma (mommaband.com) return! Momma is my favorite band and their new album Welcome to My Blue Sky (momma-band.ffm.to/welcome-to-my-blue-sky) is my favorite album of 2025. At least I'm consistent since I said the same thing (songwritersonpodcast.com/etta-friedman-allegra…) about them when they were on the pod in 2023. (Their live show is absolutely killer too.)
Friedman and Weingarten have been writing together since their teens, and one thing hasn't changed over the years: they still write most of their songs in Etta's bedroom. But as you'll hear, there are exceptions. Weingarten wrote the riff to "Medicine" in the shower, and the title track to the new album got its start in a green room.
