Curated Texan
Austin resident and The Go-Go’s lead bass guitarist rock star Kathy Valentine is beyond multi-talented. With her musical career in the band as a performer and writer, she has been the toast of Broadway with the group’s Head Over Heels production and her memoir, All I Ever Wanted. Soon, from August 9- September 10, she’ll be a part of the ZACH Theater production of Head Over Heels in Austin. Here, Lance Avery Morgan catches up with the stylish busy mom, musician and entrepreneur.

My perfect day would end…with a view, sunset to stars, or night lit city scape.
