JENNIFER STROM

GUEST CO-HOST

Prior to joining The Lo-Down, she was the managing editor of North Carolina’s Independent Weekly, where her work was recognized by numerous awards.

Ronnie Norpel is an actor and writer who has appeared in the film “2219,” which debuted as part of the Court Metrage at the 2012 Cannes Film Festival, “The Vagina Monologues” at 4th Universalist Society of New York in 2011 and 2012, and in “Deconstructing Icons,” conceiving and performing original off-beat portraits of Andy Warhol, Rita Hayworth
and pageant winner Sarah Palin. Ronnie recently celebrated the second anniversary of “Tract 187 Culture Clatch,” the popular variety show she produces and hosts bi-monthly on New York’s Upper West Side. Her ficto-memoir “Baseball, Karma, and the Constitution Blues” was published in 2010.

LAURA FOULKE

Early incarnations were Chance of Showers – a duet with New York accordionist Pat Robinson. Next was Peter Chance and the Undergroove – a combo that always seemed to have guest musicians, playing the Lower East Side scene and becoming a regular at The Ludlow Street Café.
