Michaela Anne Jun 09, 2020

Show notes

The daughter of a submarine captain might know a thing or two when it comes to life's changes or finding a place to call home. It's also not lost on Michaela Anne that her early exposure to diversity has solidified a core principle in her that diversity is to be celebrated. Michaela talks about the key moments in her life that have led her to the release of her acclaimed album Desert Dove, and the chance encounter of a dancer that one could call the muse of the project. Reexamining gender roles, yearning for connection, and analyzing the pain that we choose to live with are constant threads in conversation and as well as the music.

Teddy At Night May 26, 2020

Show notes

Like many that have felt 2020 was going to be their year, Teddy At Night is confident that this year is the right time for people to reveal who they truly are when no one is watching or judging. Teddy shares his latest transition from drummer/musician to an artist, but also the acceptance that a human can have many layers of artistic vision. He also shares a look at his latest releases including "Happiness" that is available on all platforms but also was open to sharing what keeps him up at night (it's not all night ragers).

Hannah Bethel May 19, 2020

Show notes

Going through the machine and writing songs that weren't authentic didn't sit well with Hannah Bethel. So she decided to do things a little differently and do what's best for her. This eventually led to winning first place in the Americana division of the International Songwriting Competition. It wasn't until she realized to be of service of art as opposed to self-fulfillment that things started gaining momentum. Control or discovering the rhythms of discovery also seems to take recognizing the cycles of creativity.

Daniel Donato May 12, 2020

Show notes

The Cosmic Country Tour may have canceled mid-tour for Daniel Donato during the beginnings of COVID-19, but he's still staying reflective during this time. Truth and art seem to be a constant theme in conversation as well as where expectations and patience collide as we're talking about Daniel's life-altering moments. The Grateful Dead, The Hobbit, and even U2 are discussed as quantitative and qualitative perspectives in art and the quantities of people that love and hate those same pieces.

Walker Hayes Apr 23, 2020

Show notes

Walker Hayes' music is no stranger to layers of lyrical thought with honesty, and his latest release of, "Trash My Heart" still carries his M.O. He knows that he writes sad songs, but reverberates that there is redemption if you can find it. We explore sad songs and their connectivity to an audience and talk about the emotional ties to his songs. Walker is hard at work for the next big project but shares that the pressure can inhibit the flow of creativity.

Ana Cristina Cash Apr 21, 2020

Show notes

A global pandemic isn't slowing down Ana Cristina Cash and the release of her new album Shine, set to be released April 24th. Ana Cristina phones in from Cash Cabin Studios to talk about her parents fleeing the Cuban Revolution, and their role in her life. Another big moment was a Saturday night TV program and the audition that would soon set the stage for a full-time child star that eventually led to her first record dealings. She shares her experiences behind the scenes as a woman in music and the double standards the business sets on artists. We also discover the importance of education, advocacy, and the unique collaboration of writing with your life partner.

Jarrod Dickenson Apr 16, 2020

Show notes

After winning a songwriter competition in Nashville's sister city, Jarrod Dickenson has been living the troubadours' lifestyle of traveling the world and putting it into song. From the greed of Wall Street to the simple nuances of reminiscing a time where cowboys drove cattle across Texas. Jarrod's newest album, to be released later this year, covers a range of dramatic undertones. His recent release "Gold Rush" is full of hidden gems and parallelisms that will make you want to go deeper into Ready The Horses when it's finally released. We discuss looking into what's the hold up of releasing Ready The Horses, life amid COVID-19 for a working-class musician, and the complications of risk in art meets business.
