'Objectified': An Interview with Singer/Songwriter Shawna Virago

Shawna Virago isn't shy. This in-your-face singer and songwriter lets you know just what she's thinking – about being trans, about being a woman, and about being Objectified. Her first CD is out now, and I hope there will be a second.

As someone whose iTunes collection pretty much came out on vinyl first, I appreciated the '60s political folk influences on Virago's album, Objectified, but this isn't your mother's (or your grandmother's) protest music. Virago's "folk punk" is definitely twenty-first century stuff – and here's what she has to say about her music and herself:
