You can feel an unmistakable urgency when a song is written and performed from a place of complete honesty. That feeling permeates singer-songwriter Juliet Lloyd’s new album, Carnival. The album is Juliet’s first full-length effort since 2007. Shortly after releasing her sophomore album that year, she walked away from music completely for more than 10 years, feeling burned out and unhappy with her career progression like so many other independent artists. After going through a divorce in 2019 and amid a global pandemic, she found herself pulled back toward the siren call of songwriting and again making the leap to pursue it full-time. Carnival is the culmination of those decisions and the reintroduction of an artist who now has the wisdom of experience. In this in-depth conversation, we sit down with a unique artist, one who we have followed for a long time thanks to her placements in reality TV shows on MTV and VH1 in the mid-2000s for unique topics.

Four years ago, Alice Wallace moved to Nashville after more than a decade in southern California, and 'Here I Am' is the first of her albums to be recorded in true Music City style, backed by a lineup of world-class musicians and recorded in two whirlwind days with no rehearsal.  Produced by Nick Buda (Taylor Swift, Martina McBride, Dolly Parton), the album features some of the most talented musicians Music City has to offer. In addition to Nick Buda on drums, the record features GRAMMY-winning guitarist Kenny Greenberg (Willie Nelson, Wynonna Judd, Hayes Carll), bassist Ted Pecchio (Doyle Bramhall II, Susan Tedeschi), and keyboardist Jimmy Wallace (The Wallflowers).  The album’s title hints at her deeply personal, confessional songwriting style, one that invites the listener to gaze at her beating heart as each intimate secret pours out, propelled by a powerful, expressive delivery that marks her as one of the true vocal talents of her generation.  Topics discussed include empathy in songwriting, the breakthrough of pursuing music full-time, the move to Nashville, recording in the snow, and more. ______________ This episode is brought to you by Magic Mind.

Carter Vail is the kind of guy who can look on the bright side no matter what. Listen to the infectious pop-rock he’s been making since 2018 or watch his hilarious videos on TikTok or Instagram, and you’ll find a relentless optimist who crafts inviting tunes with humor and heart.  Though the Los Angeles songwriter’s sophomore LP 100 Cowboys boasts the same tasteful and turbocharged alternative that dominates his catalog, beneath the breezy arrangements are his most bracingly personal lyrics yet. Written following a devastating breakup, Vail channels messy, heartbroken feelings into nine galvanizing and cathartic songs. It’s as anthemic as it is compelling, all delivered with palpable, tongue-in-cheek charm. 100 Cowboys is a playful and perceptive pop-rock album about getting through a bad time. It takes its title from Vail’s infatuation with campy Spaghetti Westerns and a throwback to his time recording country acts at his former Nashville studio. “I like how like campy old cowboy movies are and in a lot of ways I think that's what being a musician is like,” says Vail. “You can be your own persona."  Carter Vail is on tour now.

Maya de Vitry’s vibrant voice seems to rise out of some necessity of bringing songs to life, embracing listeners with a soulful intimacy. She grew up in a musical family in Lancaster County, Pennsylvania, understanding music to be a place of gathering, a way to spend a summer night around a campfire. Maya first traveled and performed as a fiddling street musician, and then in bars, theaters, and on festival stages as a founding member of The Stray Birds (2010-2018). Since the band parted ways in 2018, Maya has been devotedly creating a powerful new body of work—one that consistently blurs genre while showcasing her delight in storytelling and her extraordinarily dynamic singing.  Her brand new album, The Only Moment, is an instant classic and a career highlight. Her 4th full-length release in just six years, The Only Moment—out now—is a refreshing 10-song testament to the generative simmering that underpins periods of reinvention and growth. Produced by de Vitry and mixed by Grammy-award-winning engineer Justin Francis (Madison Cunningham), The Only Moment is an unabashed blend of indie folk, indie rock, and indie pop, with elements of Americana and alt-country. Recorded at Phantom Studios in Gallatin, TN, the album captures the unfettered energy and occasional chaos of de Vitry’s Nashville "bar band," featuring Anthony da Costa on electric guitar, Ethan Jodziewicz on electric bass, and Dominic Billet on drums. __________ This episode is brought to you by Magic Mind.

Hailing from the largely unsung streets of Staten Island, Ferry Townes emerges as a poignant voice in the indie music scene, channeling the raw, unfiltered emotions of its frontwoman, songwriter, Julia Gargano.

Ferry Townes is a vivid musical exploration of feminine identity and growing pains, sprinkled with anxious flashes and flirty obsessions.  Join us as Ferry Townes shares with Jamie her journey, lessons and much more.

A Nashville power player, and a true Troubadour of the magic happening in 'Music City' we welcome Singer-Songwriter Afton Wolfe to the show. Afton Wolfe has worn the hats of many humans from philosopher to lawyer, neuroscientist to bartender, from Washington to Tennessee, but his roots are in those of the rock, blues, and soul music of Mississippi.

Internationally acclaimed Nashville honky tonk Robert's Western World will celebrate its 25th Anniversary under the proprietorship of JesseLee Jones on August 5th, 2024. To celebrate, we welcome JesseLee himself to share with us the mega party expected to take over Nashville, and to share with us his one-of-a kind story that shines the American Dream on Lower Broadway. JesseLee, from his humble beginnings in São Paulo, Brazil, fell in love with classic American music - traditional country, gospel, rockabilly, and roots. He immigrated to the States in 1984, and was robbed of everything he owned on the first day! He was taken in by a family associated with his church, and did every odd job he could find to make money. One job was looking after the family's children, learning English from watching "Sesame Street" with them. JesseLee eventually began playing music and making a name for himself. In the 1980s, Nashville's Lower Broadway district fell on hard financial times, was run down, and became home to "adult" businesses. In the early 90s, Robert Wayne Moore started the venue which eventually became Robert's Western World. In 1995, Robert booked JesseLee to perform at the honky tonk; the house band at the time, BR549, nicknamed JesseLee "the Brazilian Hillbilly," and it stuck. In 1999, Robert decided it was time to pass the torch, and sold the venue to JesseLee, whose band "Brazilbilly" had become the house band (and it still is!). Since then, JesseLee has turned Robert's into a destination for people from all over the world who love traditional country music, which includes folks like Sting, Joe Walsh, Post Malone, Kacey Musgraves, and so many more. _____________________________ This episode is brought to you by Magic Mind.

On the eve of the release of their beautiful second studio album, A Matter of Time, Soul-Rock Nashville based Icons LadyCouch join the show. Keshia Bailey (Vocals/Percussion) and Allen Thompson (Vocals/Guitar) talk about how their upbringing ultimately got them to follow their musical purpose, Allen's transformative period and Keshia's decision to live in a state of Joy and Gratitude. The duo also shares the story of their new album, and how they arrived at their finest collection yet - a group of songs inspired by the idea of fighting one's own guardian angel and the struggle for spiritual and human growth.
