Kathleen Mock

Studio 360

Alabama native Kathleen Mock is celebrating her 20th year performing on subway platforms. Playing in the subway lets her work on her songwriting: she can sing the same verse over and over for a constantly changing audience. And it pays better than playing the clubs. Produced by Todd Cerveris
