Episode Notes

Collette McLafferty Podcast:

Interview with First time author, lawsuit reform activist, musician. Collette McLafferty lived through an unbelievable, yet true, experience and Confessions of a Bad, Ugly Singer is her account of that time. She is a professional musician, and at the time of this experience she was working as a session singer and singing in several tribute bands. but then in 2011, she was hired to sing at one gig in New York in a new P!nk cover band. She was paid $75 for the appearance. Shockingly, a short time later she found herself embroiled in a $10,000,000 lawsuit that ended up consuming her life for a long, difficult time. The lawsuit should have only involved a lawyer and former drummer for Michael Bolton, who brought the suit, and the band leader, who the lawyer claimed stole his idea to form New York’s first Pink tribute band. But the lawyer dragged Collette into it, claiming she “conspired to commit” the theft of his intellectual property. At the time, she barely knew the band leader and had never met the lawyer.
