ABOUT THIS PODCAST 🔗
Borrowed Notes, Authentic Lives is a podcast that goes beyond the spotlight to explore the real stories behind tribute musicians and the creative forces who keep iconic music alive.
Hosted by psychotherapist and music lover Karyn Rosenberg, each episode is a deep, personal conversation with tribute band artists, venue owners, photographers, and others in the music world. Together, they talk about identity, passion, and the meaningful lives people build through music — even when they’re performing someone else’s songs.
Because it’s not just about the cover. It’s about the calling. It’s about finding your own voice in borrowed notes.
Whether you’re a fan of tribute bands, a creative soul chasing your own sound, or someone who finds meaning in music, this show is your backstage pass.
