Episode Details

Jennie Skulander has spent more than two decades as the lead vocalist of Devilskin, one of New Zealand's most successful metal acts, but she has never had a singing lesson. Come Together, a supergroup of New Zealand rock musicians, is performing Born to Run in full at Christchurch, Wellington and Auckland this week, and Jennie is on lead vocals. She joins Culture 101 to talk about stepping into someone else's songs, the osteoarthritis diagnosis that's forcing her to do things differently, and why she still gets nervous every single time she walks on stage.
