Momma, Dublin

Momma biography

The band Momma is a four-piece band whose sound is heavily influenced by the creative intuition of songwriters Etta Friedman and Allegra Weingarten. The two guitarists, who grew up outside Los Angeles, met in high school and began writing songs together, drawing inspiration from songwriters such as Kim Deal, Liz Phair, and Elliott Smith. Despite now living far apart while they finish college, the two continue to write together in the same way they always have, assembling DIY west coast tours and workshoping new songs during breaks. Despite their many similarities, Friedman and Weingarten's creative compatibility on Two of Me is fueled by their appreciation for each other's differences. Their personal tastes and intuitions are valued and explored by one another equally, allowing them to create a record that feels both familiar and intriguing. Like a yin and yang symbol, they understand that nothing is made up solely of light or darkness, and confronting each part of oneself is the first step to seeing the whole picture.
