Toni Cornell and Audrey McGraw

On this episode of Lipps Service, Scott sits down with Toni Cornell and Audrey McGraw for a candid and soulful conversation that traces a friendship born in a jewelry shop in Greece and forged through a lifetime on the road. From growing up backstage to finding their own creative voices, the two dive into what it’s like navigating the legacy of their iconic fathers while carving out distinct paths in music and film. Audrey opens up about her recent pivot from acting, including her role on the hit show Landman, to fully committing to her musical journey just three years ago. Meanwhile, Toni reflects on her life as a theater kid and the profound experience of performing with her father, Chris Cornell, who encouraged her to embrace the same genre bending spirit that defined his career. The duo shares behind the scenes stories from Toni’s harrowing battle with tonsillitis before a Rock & Roll Hall of Fame performance to a transformative backstage encounter with RAYE that changed her perspective on stage fright forever. Audrey recounts meeting with Lukas Nelson that led to their writing session for "Beautiful When I Cry," and both girls reflect on the "musical moments" that sparked their passion from Lady Gaga to Aerosmith.
