Leslie Sokal Berg is an extraordinarily gifted singer. She's
also a music educator, a mother, and a survivor of suicide. She
attended the Jazz program at the Frost School of Music at the
University of Miami, until she fell into a deep depression and
attempted to end her life. Since then, she has bounced back, become
a music educator, and a mom. She talked frankly and honestly with
me about the events that led up to her suicide attempt and the long
road back.
Leslie is also the mother of Parker Dillard, the bassist for the
ridiculously talented Athens band Fishbug. We talk about Fishbug a
good bit in this interview, too! You can hear Fishbug here:
