    Great content, Mike kind of sounds like he rocks a mediocre mustache! This content is sick for REAL country music!

    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.

#198 - Benjamin Tod
Q: What drove the shift to a fuller sound on your recent records?
Tod explains it was a combination of practical reasons (hand nerve damage, inability to lead a string band) and artistic choice to suit new material, with an emphasis on maintaining country roots while expanding musical textures.
#197 - Leon Majcen
Q: How did you keep your sound fresh across multiple records and collaborations?
Majcen emphasizes writing about personal experiences, maintaining honest collaboration with a trusted crew, and staying open to reworking ideas to keep the music authentic rather than repetitive.
#195 - Silverada (Mike Harmeier)
Q: What can Silverada fans expect to hear at these shows?
A mix of new material from Living Proof and older catalog, with live versions and B-side deep cuts rotated into sets to keep each show fresh, while maintaining core crowd-pleasers like Neon and Steak.
#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.
