  • Good stuff

    I met these guys at The Burl in Lexington last year before the world stopped turning. I appreciated their combined love of music and songwriters and that fella from Canada speaks fair English for a foreigner.

    Come back to Kentucky soon guys.

    Even within the realm of “alternative country” you’d be hard pressed to find way to learn about and connect with both up-and-coming, and well established artists like you do with this podcast. Y’all are doing an awesome job, and I really enjoy laughing along with you and your guests while I work. I look forward to more, and will likely message you some folks to hopefully have on. Thanks for doing what you’re doing guys.

Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

#193 - American Aquarium (BJ Barham)
Q: How has the world around you shaped the New Ways to Lose record?
BJ explains that songwriting should reflect society honestly and that personal experiences, politics, and daily life feed the songs, creating a record that is unflinchingly true rather than polished for radio. He emphasizes writing what you see and allowing songs to carry the listener into real, human moments.
#192 - Vincent Neil Emerson
Q: How did Blue Stars come together, and what led you to work with Patrick Lyons on this record?
Vincent explains that he chose Pat Lyons because of the vibe and shared musical language, and because Pat's friendship and prior work with similar artists created a collaborative, relaxed studio environment that felt like a natural fit for his touring band.
#189 - Lauren Watkins
Q: What has the response to Perfect World been, and how has the road life influenced your music?
The response has been positive, with fans connecting to a newer, more grown-up perspective; touring with Lainey and Riley showed me different ways to entertain and how the crowd responds to different energy on stage.
#189 - Lauren Watkins
Q: When this episode comes out, it will be mere hours before new Lauren Watkins music hits streaming sites. Tell me about Heartbreakaholic.
Heartbreakaholic is about self-awareness and the joy and difficulty of dating and heartbreak, inspired by my college days, and it reflects a more personal, evolved side of me.
#187 - Calder Allen
Q: How did growing up in a musical family shape you as an artist?
He explains that his upbringing gave him a backbone of authentic expression and a freedom to write about how he truly feels, with Charlie Sexton and Jacob Skiba serving as foundational mentors.
