Born to two engineers, Alison stands out from the rest of the family. Her parents gifted her first guitar and she quickly learned to accompany herself. Before she knew it, she was gigging out all over the Detroit area and even ventured to Nashville and played at the famous Bluebird Café. By the time Alison was in sixth grade, she'd already opened with her original music for the Steve Miller Band in Detroit. At 14, Alison won a contest where she was awarded studio time, a producer and a booking agent. With this prize, she made her first EP and even started hearing her songs on the radio. However, she didn't think music full-time was an option after high school, so she went to the University of Michigan for biopsychology, cognition and neuroscience. By her junior year, she started performing as much as she could via livestreams and gigging. Now, she's lived in Los Angeles for over a year and has been gigging and recording nonstop.

Ali Taylor Terradillos is a Nashville singer/songwriter from Lancaster, Pennsylvania. Originally getting her musical wings from performing in local theater, she found a love for country music playing shows locally in Lancaster. “I remember booking myself a local show that was in a barn and the whole crowd was Amish. I put my speaker on a bale of hay and sang them an hour set of country music” Ali says, laughing at the memory. This ultimately inspired her move to Nashville in 2014 where she attended Belmont University for Music Business. While attending Belmont to enhance her education in the music industry, she made sure to dedicate time to writing and playing, making appearances at famous venues such as the Bluebird Café and The Listening Room. While working on her music and songwriting, she also worked at labels such as Curb Records and Warner Music. “I remember frantically running from the label to school then immediately to a write then to a show; it was chaos, but I loved it,” Ali says. She graduated from Belmont in December 2018, making her the first woman in her family to graduate college. Ali says: “Graduating from college was a big win in my life and for my family. My father is from Venezuela and has worked so hard to come to the US and provide a good life for my family and I. His work ethic was always inspiring to me. Without my parents encouraging me, I don't think I could have made it happen.” --- Send in a voice message: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/steven-cuoco/message Support this podcast: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/steven-cuoco/support

The Missouri Ozarks is both home and backdrop to Missouri Arts Council Touring Performer, Mick Byrd. A member of the MO Blues Society and Tennessee Songwriters Association International, Mick has performed at the legendary Bluebird Café in Nashville for over 20 years.  An award from Billboard Magazine kicked off his music career in 1994. Mick brings fans an amazing array of original Roots Rock, Country & his signature “Ozark Blues.”  Mick performs solo or with some of his very talented musician friends as a duo or band, creating “The Backroad Band.” Whether in his travels across Missouri, the United States or Ireland, people everywhere find common ground in Mick's music. My personal introduction to Mick Byrd may be the most unique and unusual yet.  A lifelong friend of nearly 50 years and I were talking one day and she surprised me by telling me her 93 year-old mother confessed she had been married to a man before she was married to my friend's father.  His name was Curtis Byrd.   My friend later met Mick Byrd totally by happenstance on the streets of Jefferson City, Missouri as he was setting up for a music gig at a place called Gumbo Bottoms.  She asked are you related to Curtis Byrd?  Why yes, he said…he was my father.   Oh my…she replied.  Your dad was once married to my mother.  Now there's a song in there somewhere.  My friend suggested at some point Mick get in contact with me.  She thought my music connections in the Heartland may be of assistance to him. He did reach out to me and in March 2023 I had Mick on the Tasty Brew Music Radio Show.  Enjoy my conversation with the pride of Vienna, Missouri, Mick Byrd.

Nashville-based singer, songwriter, guitar player who released a new single last month. He was one of the writers on the 2018 Jason Aldean song featuring Miranda Lambert, called, “Drowns the Whiskey,” which spent multiple weeks at number one on country radio, was nominated for CMA Song of the Year, and sales-wise was certified multi-platinum. He is a regular at The Bluebird Café and The Listening Room in Nashville and even toured as a guitarist for Josh Thompson. He also had his own band, which was signed to Warner Music Nashville and toured for over five years.

It's truly amazing how one simple, polite gesture can utterly change a person's life.   As a teenager, songwriter Luke Laird took a family vacation to Nashville. And even though he was already deeply interested in music, he had no idea somebody like him, a young man from Pennsylvania, could do it for a living...until the writer of one of country music's most iconic songs spent a few moments talking to him following a show the family attended at the legendary Bluebird Café. Without that simple gesture of accessibility, which that writer has probably given a thousand times, Eric Church might never have had songs like Give Me Back My Hometown, Talladega or Drink in My Hand. Carrie Underwood might never have recorded So Small, or Thomas Rhett, T-shirt, Jon Pardi, Head over Boots. Kacey Musgraves might never have won a Grammy for her album Same Trailer, Different Park. And the Nashville songwriting community might never have had one of its most collaborative, creative and encouraging members.   But thankfully, That writer did. Who was it? And what's the rest of Luke's story? Give this month's episode a listenSee omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

What happens when a Rock Star is contacted asking to help with a charity event? Colleen Lloy gives you the Rock Star point of view. What makes a Rock Star want to agree to work with a charity?  Conversation Highlights:  {01:00} Introduction to Colleen Lloy.  [03:27} The process of deciding if you will work with a charity.  {05:42} The impact of having a son who served in the army and unfortunately, he came back with PTSD.  {07:19} The reason Colleen has a very specific interest in the American Heart Association.  {16:59} Words of encouragement to someone looking to do get into maybe a different business or a different way of life. {20:32} Stories of pranksters from the road.  {24:52} The hypnotherapy and the transformational therapy that Colleen uses.   Remarkable quotes:  I got into hypnotherapy trying to help veterans with PTSD.   I use my intuition and see whether what they're saying they need from me resonates.  I am absolutely certain that every human being on the planet has gifts that they want to share.   I am excited every time and I sing like there are millions of people. I give everything I have every single night.   Resources:  https://www.linkedin.com/in/colleen-lloy-698ab1182/  https://youtu.be/p0scCpN84EM colleenlloy@gmail.com  Bio: Colleen Lloy Although her name is not yet a household word, chances are if you've spent any time in the Sacramento area or Nashville, you have heard of Colleen Lloy. She has been performing for many years in all the local "hot spots". Lloy also has been recognized for her dynamic performance during the annual California State Fair. No matter where you may have heard this lady, you can bet she has a voice you will never forget.   This native Sacramentan's first recording was a song “Sooner or Later” which was the number 2 song on an album for a charity, “MADD” (Mother's Against Drunk Drivers). Critic Mick Martin wrote: “The most impressive of these is Colleen Lloy whose “Sooner or Later” is an absolute knockout. If this fine singer isn't signed by a major label, there's no justice in the music world.” This recording brought attention to City Kidd's manager who asked Lloy to join the Band City Kidd and played with the original members now known as Tesla.   Lloy over her musical career has entered and won many music competitions one of which was the Jimmy Dean/True Value Hardware Music Competition where she won first place in Northern California which ultimately brought her to Tennessee.   Lloy, an award-winning singer/songwriter fell in love with the musical city and decided to move to Nashville, TN to pursue her singing and songwriting career in 1999. Like many artists, she has a story of courage and stamina where she quit her job, sold everything she owned, and on a wing and prayer moved to Nashville. It did not take long for the industry to realize this lady has major chemistry and charisma on and off stage. Coined the “chameleon” by many, she proves she has an unusual style of singing able to cover any type of music with ease.  She also has appearances on the popular television show “Nashville” as an extra until she can set more time aside for other roles.   2000 was a difficult year for Lloy who lost her brother. She went into the studio and recorded “Life Challenges” and released the song “Can You Hear” to the radio. It charted 26 on the Christian Country Music Charts and is receiving great airplay in many countries.   Decatur Celebration- "The best description of Colleen Lloy is a chameleon." Sacramento critic, Mick Martin writes: "The most impressive of these is Colleen Lloy whose "Sooner or Later" is an absolute knockout. If this fine singer isn't signed by a major label, there's no justice in the music world." Nashville Music Guide Critic Brad Fisher gives Lloy's "Life Challenges" CD a five-star rating and writes: "This ten-song CD is an emotional roller coaster that runs the gambit of love. The tunes were either written or co-written by Lloy who has a beautiful set of pipes which she shows off on this album."   Lloy has devoted her life in giving back to worthy causes that touch her soul. Some of those include the American Red Cross, Susan G. Komen for the Cure to name a few. She is also an advocate of our U.S Military and veterans and has written several military songs to share with the soldiers and their families.    Lloy has literally played all over the U.S. and abroad and returned from two USO shows in Italy. She is a frequent guest at the nationally known Bluebird Café, has done television and radio broadcasts and has opened up for artists like Billy Dean, Paul Overstreet, John Berry, Lee Greenwood, George Jones, Billy Ray Cyrus, Tanya Tucker, John Anderson and many others. Lloy had the rare privilege of interviewing Mr. B.B. King for a proposed television show which she indicates is the highlight of her music career thus far. Lloy recently returned from Maui performing with Mick Fleetwood.    In any event, whether you see her on a big stage or a small quiet room tucked away in her favorite clubs, we are quite sure you have not heard the last from Colleen Lloy.

THE LIED TO'SOn his very last record, Leonard Cohen utters the words, “You Want It Darker.” The Lied To's can relate.The duo, Susan Levine and Doug Kwartler, who are set to release their new record The Lesser of Two Evils on May 11, 2018, have reason to connect with Cohen's sentiment. Both weathered bitter divorces and were left to pick up the physical, financial and emotional pieces. They met at a folk festival and after the dust settled, started working together. Soon a musical partnership evolved into a personal one.Both Kwartler and Levine are single parents to two kids each. While juggling family life, music, and their relationship can fuel inspiration for songwriting, it can also be a struggle. “Like everyone else is feeling right now, except maybe the 1%, you just go about your day looking straight ahead trying to get things done,” Kwartler says, adding, “You work, pay bills, take care of your kids, have a relationship, and deal with your past…oh, and we also try to make music. The new record covers all that.” Levine continues, “While the songs are not purely autobiographical, the emotional truths definitely come from everything we've been through.”Despite the challenges, The Lied To's have made solid headway as an Americana duo in a very crowded Americana duo scene. Their 2015, self-titled debut album made waves in Americana and Folk radio and rose to #3 on the roots music charts. They landed in the top 100 on the prestigious No Depression readers' poll and they were called, “…one of the finest contemporary guy/gal duos on the scene today,” by Boston's Metronome Magazine, who also picked their CD as a top 20 of the year. Add in successful shows at the legendary Bluebird Café in Nashville, the renowned Club Passim in Cambridge, MA and many top folk-coffeehouses in the area, and The Lied To's forged their own way and made a name for themselves
