#8 - Equal Play: ft. Emily Scott Robinson Feb 15, 2020

Show notes

This episode features the incredibly talented Emily Scott Robinson, taking time to visit with us and dig into an important topic that has been bouncing around the country music world lately: Equal Play. We, as the hosts of this podcast, have been wanting to have a conversation about the challenges that female artists face in the country music industry for quite some time now, but, being male, and non-artists, we felt as though we needed a female artist to lead the way with the conversation.

Discussed:

- CMT making their morning video hours feature male and female artists at an equal 50/50 rate as opposed to their previous 60/40 rules, and the effects that this move has had recently.

- Challenges that women face as artists in the country music world.

- The powerful story behind Emily's song "The Dress".

MUSIC FEATURED IN THIS EPISODE
All songs by: Emily Scott Robinson (Traveling Mercies - 2019)

- Westward Bound

- The Dress

- Shoshone Rose

- Better With Time

Thanks so much for listening! Be sure to catch Emily on tour when she's headed your way, and give her a follow on social media, and of course, enjoy her music. You can follow us on Twitter, Instagram, Facebook, and TikTok. Be sure to leave us a review if you're listening on Apple Podcasts so we can extend our reach and help others discover great country music! Join the conversation with us on Twitter and let us know what you think of the podcast, and what YOU wanna hear next time. Thanks everyone!
