Michigan's 4-3 Democratic majority state supreme court is falling short of doing its duty, Deperno said in an emailed statement to Michigan Advance.“After watching the abuse of our legal system both here in Michigan, as well as across the country, it is clear that the Michigan Supreme Court needs members that are committed to following the constitution and rule of law,” DePerno said. “Activist judges, prosecutors, and attorney generals are using their power to prosecute their political enemies. This has to stop. And that is why I am running for Supreme Court.”Nebraska's competing abortion petitionshttps://nebraskaexaminer.com/2024/06/13/sorting-through-nebraskas-abortion-ballot-initiatives/Nebraska voters who want to weigh in this November on the future of abortion in the state have three petitions to consider signing.One group that is circulating petitions wants to make abortion a state constitutional right.

But in this region where water is everything, they'll have to overcome entrenched attitudes and practices that led to decades of overpumping.“It scares the hell out of me,” farmer Hugh Brownlee said at a recent public meeting in the district on the changes to come.Last year, Kansas lawmakers passed legislation squarely targeting the Southwest Kansas Groundwater Management District, which spans a dozen counties. Unlike the two other Kansas districts that sit atop the crucial aquifer, this one has done little to enact formal conservation programs that could help prolong the life of the aquifer.

Since his last visit to Vinyl Emergency in August 2020, Nashville singer/songwriter Ruston Kelly has narrowly escaped a fiery bus explosion, sold off nearly every physical stage piece from his last tour, and rehabbed an old Victorian bungalow with his own two hands. And while all of these experiences are worth talking about, today he says that being a better listener has been a focused priority as of late. This deliberate intention to say less and observe more has led to a run of rewarding collaborations over the last several years: Duets with Caitlyn Smith and Judah & the Lion, co-producing an LP for John Prine's son Tommy, and touring with the massively-popular Noah Kahan. On this week's episode, Ruston dives deep into the first album he remembers as a child, why he sequences songs specifically for vinyl, and his upcoming EP -- Weakness, Etc. -- a combination of new material and reworkings from his third full-length The Weakness, released last year. Plus, anecdotes on sharing toast with Jackson Browne, and debating Pop-Tarts with his fans. Ruston's upcoming solo acoustic tour begins later this month. Tickets, social media and more are at rustonkelly.com, with Weakness, Etc. dropping March 22.

I'm so excited to have the incredibly talented, 2x ACM nominated, Caitlyn Smith for my first guest on the podcast! Caitlyn performed at the Inaugural “Cowgirls at The Cowboy” in 2022 and has one of the most stunning voices you'll ever hear. She's also one of the most gifted songwriters in Music City. She has songwriting credits that include Dolly Parton, Garth Brooks, Miley Cyrus, and Rascal Flatts, and has toured with Tim McGraw & Faith Hill, Little Big Town, George Strait, and the list goes on and on. I know you're going to LOVE her as much as I do!
In a world dominated by overnight internet sensations and one-hit-wonders, emerging artist Ainsley Costello has her eyes set on creating a legacy that stands the test of time. A power house voice in the vain of Haley Williams or Pink, Ainsley's lyrics can also be delicately delivered. Costello's heartfelt and personal approach to lyricism translates into an easily digestible and heartwarming listening experience.At only 15, the Seattle native (now based in Nashville) released a strikingly diverse debut album titled ‘You Know I Am' – on the surface, a collection of country pop songs, but dig deeper and you'll unravel a multitude of diverse musical influences and lyrics that speak to all of the insecurities of today's teenage girls.In February 2020, Ainsley and her family relocated to Nashville, just as the world and the music industry shut down due to the Pandemic. But that didn't stop Ainsley, throughout quarantine she used her time to write new material and connect with dozens of Nashville "row writers" to hone and perfect her craft. Creating a body of work that speaks volumes for her young age Ainsley already has a catalogue of nearly 200 unreleased, and 24 published works. In 2021 Ainsley released a song each month, the equivalent of her second studio album and in 2022 she has released 5 more songs.Ironically, after moving to Nashville (the country music capital of the world), Ainsley began to pivot away from the country music that had originally inspired her. Realizing that Nashville was more than just country music her creativity cracked open. Her newest songs clearly have a more pop-rock leaning vibe. While many reviewers still hear elements of country tones in her voice, paired with the edgier music, some have started to describe her music as "country-punk" or "pretty pop." Inspired by Paramore, Kings of Leon and Caitlyn Smith (all hailing from Nashville) you clearly hear a unique sound emerging in her 2022 works. With a strong sense for live instrumentation others have described her music as a strain of LA/POP from the 90's and early 2000's. Another reviewer described it as acoustic college rock with a modern twist. With a dedicated and growing following it is clear that Ainsley is set on creating a career that stands the test of time.Ainsley began performing in school talent shows and musical theater productions at the age of 7. She has since gone on to study piano, guitar, vocal performance, and songwriting. She attended Tacoma School of the Arts as a freshman in high-school and shortly thereafter began traveling and touring the West Coast full-time. At just 15 Ainsley moved to online high-school (so she could tour) and simultaneously began taking classes at the prestigious Berklee College of Music Online. She graduated from high school at 16 and was formally accepted to the Berklee College of Music's Business Degree program shortly after. At just 19 years old, in May 2023 Ainsley graduated from Berklee College of Music with a Bachelors of Art in Music Business.Ainsley began performing live shows with a full band of adult professional-level musicians at just 13 years old. By the time she was 14 she could regularly hold down a 3-hour cover set. At 13 & 14 she was involved with unaired episodes of "The Voice" and "American Idol." At 14, Ainsley became one of Breedlove Guitars youngest endorsed artists and has since been endorsed by Mackie Sound and has strategic partnerships with Taylor Guitars and Sennheiser Microphones. To date she has performed over 200 shows in 20 states on festival, fair, and bar states alike.Ainsley Costello WebsiteSRTN Website
We had the pleasure of interviewing Peter Raffoul over Zoom video!For Nashville-based singer/songwriter Peter Raffoul, songs often emerge late into the night, at an hour when inhibitions fall away and the most essential truths are laid bare. With a lyrical sensibility that merges intimate confession and boldly detailed storytelling, the Canada-born artist opens up about anxiety and isolation and the more complicated aspects of human connection, elegantly matching his moody intensity with a mercurial form of alt-rock/folk. Made with producers Owen Lewis (Old Sea Brigade, Maddie Medley) and Henry Brill (Phantogram, Jack Garratt), Raffoul's debut body of work reveals his undeniable gift for transforming pain into beauty—an element endlessly magnified by the pure warmth and power of his voice.Originally from the small Ontario town of Leamington, Raffoul first embraced his stream-of-consciousness approach to songwriting in his late teens, when he spent countless hours teasing out songs in the clubhouse-like shed behind his family's home. As the product of a highly musical family—his father Jody has played in rock bands for over three decades, his brother Billy is singer/songwriter signed to Interscope—Raffoul grew up immersed in the timeless records of the Beatles and Led Zeppelin and began exploring his own musicality by taking up piano at 17. “The music I'm making today really comes from all that time I spent in the shed over the years,” notes Raffoul, now 27. “It was always a world away from everything, where I could mess around with songs on this little keyboard and figure out how to put chords and melodies to all the lyrics I had in my head.” Before long, he'd added guitar to his repertoire and created a song called “Maybe I Do,” a bittersweet but radiant track slated for his forthcoming debut EP. “I was trying to paint a picture of the start of a relationship where the other person seems so perfect, you're almost waiting for something to go wrong,” says Raffoul. “It felt melancholy and hopeful at the same time, and once I found that contrast I knew I wanted to keep writing more songs in that vein.”All throughout his debut, Raffoul builds a hypnotic tension between that raw emotionality and a wildly unpredictable sound informed by everything from late-'80s college rock to left-of-center hip-hop to the Beatles' excursions into dreamy psychedelia. Among the EP's standout tracks are his debut single “Fucked Up Together”: a gorgeously stripped-back piece centered on his delicate piano work, soulful vocals, and lyrics that speak to a deep longing to be understood. On “Cigarette Holes,” he spins a piercingly honest portrait of emotional chaos, upending the song's heavy-hearted mood with brightly uptempo rhythms. Meanwhile, “Bad for Me” brings potent beats and prismatic textures to an unflinching meditation on cycles of self-destruction. “When you're going through a breakup or any other hard time in life, sometimes it feels easier to do things that are bad for you, as a way to numb yourself,” says Raffoul, who co-wrote “Bad for Me” with Connor Thuotte and Kate York (Lady A, Caitlyn Smith). “We started riffing on that idea and Connor played a very simple chord progression on this junky little guitar he'd gotten for $5 at a yard sale, which we used on the final version—it was this magical moment where everything just came together so naturally.”True to the playful spontaneity and DIY spirit of its creation, Raffoul's debut EP offers up plenty of idiosyncratic moments that intensify the unbridled energy of each track. To that end, the chorus to the gloriously frenetic “I Just Want to Be OK” takes the form of a cathartic outburst, a component he improvised in co-writing the song with his brother. And on “Call Me,” Raffoul shares an epic heart-on-sleeve ballad threaded with hauntingly stark and spellbinding piano melodies. “I wrote that song late at night in a hotel room and made a demo where the piano sounded super-thin, almost like it was playing through a truck driver's transistor radio,” he recalls. “When we worked on it in the studio, we ended up manipulating the piano sound so that you can still really feel that loneliness of the original, which is one of the things that makes that song so special to me.”With the release of his first batch of material, Raffoul hopes that others might find solace in his unfiltered yet finely crafted outpouring. “Most of these songs are about admitting that things are far from perfect, but to me there's hopefulness in that,” he says. “I think it's possible to find comfort in being uncomfortable, as long as you know you're not the only one who doesn't have it all figured it out. I want to let people that it's okay to be happy and sad at the same time—and that instead of trying to ignore those uncomfortable feelings, we should try to make the most of them.”We want to hear from you!

Kelli hung out with Caitlyn Smith! Plus, we talk about the people who want to spend the rest of their lives on cruise ships.
Ulcerative colitis and Crohn's disease are complicated. There are choices to make along the treatment journey, which means that patients and their healthcare providers need to work together to find the right path. That's where shared decision-making comes into play. Healthcare providers can help patients learn about their options but patients need to speak up and help their doctors understand what they want from their treatment options, because it's not always obvious. To better understand shared decision-making in IBD, I speak to Dr Rajeev Jain, a gastroenterologist in private practice in Dallas, Texas and Caitlyn Smith, ulcerative colitis patient and editor at The Mighty. Concepts discussed on this episode include: IBD Parenthood Project Shared Decision-making in IBD IBD Surgery Shared Decision-Making Toolkit Shared Decision-Making: Benefits to Care Shared Decision-Making: Being Prepared American Gastroenterological Association GI Patient Center Find Rajeev Jain, MD on Twitter, Texas Digestive Disease Consultants.

Together with American Songwriter, we had the pleasure of interviewing Aimee Mayo over Zoom video! “I encourage EVERYONE to read this book. It is healing in so many ways. (Aimee) is such a talented writer.” —TIM MCGRAW, Country music superstar and actor"Wow. I feel bad about getting married :) after reading this. It reads like a movie." — RICK SPRINGFIELD, Grammy Award winning musician, actor and bestselling author"OMG. Aimee's book is one of the best things I've ever read. Unbelievable writing, fantastic storyteller, and completely honest." —BART HERBISON, President of Nashville Songwriters Association International“All my greatest gifts have come wrapped in ribbons of pain.” With this tantalizing opening line, I’d like to introduce you to Aimee Mayo and her debut memoir, TALKING TO THE SKY: A Memoir of Living Your Best Life in A Sh*t-Show (Little Blue Typewriter Press; Paperback; December 1, 2020). Aimee is a Grammy-nominated songwriter and one of the few women to receive both BMI's Country Song of the Year, and BMI's Country Songwriter of the Year—putting her in the elite company of Dolly Parton, Taylor Swift, and Loretta Lynn.Her tragic, yet triumphant story begins one Christmas eve in rural Alabama with the shocking news of her father’s attempted suicide when she was just eight years old. Aimee was gifted a journal that fateful night in which she began to record her mind-blowing experiences with her bipolar father, who drifted in and out of her life, an abusive stepfather, caring, but deeply wounded relatives, and a nomadic childhood.Aimee expertly invites the reader into her wild youth growing up in the deep south, switching schools, bouncing from one family home to the next, and accidentally burning down her house...and car. After a close encounter with death, at the age of 19, Aimee eventually makes her way to Nashville to pursue her dream of becoming a songwriter, and falls right into the arms of another abuser. Aimee must once again, with wit and unflappable humor, pick herself up and walk away.Aimee’s dream eventually became a reality, and now she’s ready to share her incredible story. Her fifteen-year writing journey produced TALKING TO THE SKY, a universal story of faith over fear and triumph against all obstacles. It’s a must-read for anyone trying to pursue their dreams despite it all.About AIMEE MAYO Aimee Mayo is a Grammy-nominated songwriter and author. Her songs have spent twenty-six weeks in the #1 spot on the billboard charts, and albums featuring her songs have sold over 155 million units worldwide. "Amazed," recorded by Lonestar, is her most popular song to date. In 2004 it garnered an 8 Million Plays award from BMI, vaulting it into the top 125 songs in the BMI catalog out of 6.5 million works. "Amazed" also won ACM (Academy of Country Music) Song of the Year, NSAI Song of the Year, and crossed over to the pop charts and spent two weeks at the top of the Hot 100. Mayo's song "This One's for the Girls," recorded by Martina McBride, went on to be a theme song for the morning show "The View." Aimee was also a judge on the CMT series, "Can You Duet." Mayo has penned songs for Tim McGraw, Kenny Chesney, Blake Shelton, Adam Lambert, Carrie Underwood, Faith Hill, Sara Evans, Backstreet Boys, Kellie Pickler, Caitlyn Smith, Boys to Men, and many more.TALKING TO THE SKY is her first book, almost 15 years in the making. She lives in Nashville with her husband, Chris Lindsey, their children and two dogs.We want to hear from you!

Caitlyn Smith is a Country Music singer/songwriter who is signed with Monument Records and Universal Music Publishing Group. Caitlyn joins Country Music Made Me to discuss her early musical memories of performing at the Minnesota State Fair Talent Competition, writing her first original songs and recording her first album using her college fund. Caitlyn and Brendan talk about her years spent travelling back and forth from her home in Minnesota to Nashville developing her songwriting, signing her first publishing deal, and receiving cuts with artists like Jason Aldean, Rascal Flatts, Dolly Parton, Kenny Rogers, Trisha Yearwood, Meghan Trainor and Lady A. Caitlyn explains what life has been like since releasing her album Supernova in 2020, the opportunities that have led to opening for George Strait, Eric Church, Chris Stapleton, Old Dominion and Little Big Town, and how exciting it was to be nominated for New Female Artist of the Year at the 2022 ACM Awards. Finally, Caitlyn talks about self-producing her latest album which will be released in two parts, the first in April of 2022 named “High”, and the second half being added later in the year to create a full album aptly named “High Low”.
