Real Music Nashville is a podcast hosted by Mitchell Ray that highlights the working artists and musicians of Music City, while exploring the uniquely unexpected genres and talents that reside there.
This week I got to sit down with The Weird Sisters in studio for a great conversation about their latest creative ventures and their new single "Lost In The Chronic" available now on all streaming platforms and the music video is up now on their website theweirdsistersband.com. This episode was particularly special to me because The Weird Sisters are not only my first ever return guests, but they are the debut episode that started this whole podcast and everything that it has become! Please go support them in everything that they have coming out in the near future. These guys are true creatives and I can't wait to see what they have in store for everyone!

This week I had Leilani Kilgore on the podcast in studio! She's an incredibly talented guitarist, singer songwriter, and professional hired gun that has recently begun focusing on her own career as an artist. This is a great episode and Leilani's personality really shines through. She has a unique perspective on the Nashville music scene considering she's experienced it as a guitarist for hire and as an artist with her own blossoming career. I can't wait to see where Leilani goes as this barebones blues musician builds her legacy.

She has a great 90's sound that's reminiscent of the grunge scene from that era. In a sentence, I would say that Vera's sound is power chords mixed with powerful and at times guttural vocals.

I had the pleasure of sitting down with Chad and Kyle Wilson a few weeks ago and not only were they great guests, but they've been instrumental in providing some great opportunities for this podcast and what it could become in the future. Through them I've met many people and developed some great working relationships that are going to move this podcast into whatever it may become in the future. I'm thinking along the lines of production and livestream events, but who knows? Where ever we end up, no one will ever be able to say that The Wilson Brothers didn't help. All of that being said, Chad and Kyle are constantly playing all over the place. So much so that I can't keep up. They are however, booking a show every other Monday at The Whiskey Bent Saloon on Broadway in Nashville. The series is call Deconstructed and it is hosted by The Wilson Brothers and the livestream is brought to you by Real Music Nashville. The next show is Jan. 18th at 8pm. The Stream will be on our facebook page and youtube channel for free so join our page and subscribe for more updates!
