Want to know what your mom was thinking? Professional singer and amateur mom, Caryn Caffarelli reveals that - spoiler alert - parenting is hard, we become our mothers, and mother doesn’t always know best.<br /><br />Caryn has spent decades of work in the field, soothing babies, picking up toys, enduring eye rolls, and surviving the college drop off. After many meltdowns, mostly her own, she was made better through motherhood. In MOMufactured, Caryn weaves tales of epic mom fails and triumphs with clever arrangements of songs from Rod Stewart’s “Forever Young”, to Frank Sinatra’s “That’s Life”, and even the disco sensation “I Will Survive.” Caryn also sprinkles in parenting resources and tried and true tricks of the trade. With Andrew Blendermann on piano and back up vocals, and under the smart direction of Chicago theater and film veteran Dale Calandra, MOMufactured gives us a peak inside the mind of a mom, and reminds us why parents sign up for the job in the first place.
