## Resource

On this episode of Waterproof Records, I sit down with Mark Hennessy, the voice of Paw, an underrated band to emerge in the '90s from Lawrence, Kansas with their own special "heartland grunge" sound. Mark shares a bit about his stage 4 cancer diagnosis, how it changed his outlook on life, rediscovering the joy of performing, and why music continues to give him purpose. It's an honest conversation about creativity, gratitude, and the power that great records still have to connect us.If you grew up on '90s alternative rock—or you're discovering Paw for the first time—this is an episode you won't want to miss.
