The iconic folk duo met at an audition for the only country music band at a prestigious jazz school in Boston. They immediately clicked, and joined the rich lineage of Americana artists that stretches back centuries.In their 20s, Gillian Welch and David Rawlings discovered they had something special when they sang together, a sort of eerie emotional resonance that is usually confined to the blood harmonies produced when siblings sing together.Ever since they've been making music together which draws on the bluegrass, country and folk traditions they love.In their historic recording studio in Nashville, Tennessee (which has withstood three tornadoes in the last century), they craft haunting songs about the ugly and beautiful parts of humanity.For Gill and Dave, the DNA of folk music is something we can all contribute to, and which contributes to all of us.Gillian Welch and David Rawlings are currently touring Australia's eastern states. You can find information about where and when they are playing on their website.Their seventh studio album is called Woodland, named after their indestructible studio.This episode of Conversations was produced by Meggie Morris.

I got to sit down with Alison Prestwood, an A-list bassist, singer, and bandleader whose playing has been anchoring records and stages for decades, and it felt like catching up with someone I should've known for years.We talked about her leap from Atlanta to Nashville in the early '90s, what it's like leaving steady work to chase the next chapter, and how those five-to-six-nights-a-week club years built the kind of chops and confidence that translate anywhere. Alison shares the winding path that led her into Nashville's session world (including a wild early moment overdubbing on a Ronnie Milsap master), and how hearing players like Glenn Worf and Michael Rhodes up close pushed her into that “forever climbing” mindset that great musicians live in.She also goes deep on her musical north stars: Paul McCartney, James Jamerson, Willie Weeks, Lee Sklar, and especially Carol Kaye, including an incredible story about spending a full weekend at Carol's house working on pick technique and soaking up stories and wisdom.From there, we get into the nuts and bolts: how Alison thinks about the difference between R&B feel vs. country feel, note length, subdivisions, and the “rules” you learn in Nashville, plus when to break them. She's also launching a brand-new Merle Haggard tribute band called We Are the Merle.We also talk about her time touring with Peter Frampton, how that gig came together, what it's like playing major stages (including the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame experience), and the weight and gratitude of watching a legend keep doing the work.And because Alison is also a fellow podcaster, we dig into her show “Hey, Good For You”, a funny, honest, and sharp look at life as a working bassist (and the absurd things people say to women musicians).It's part career map, part hang, part deep musicianship chat, and by the end, we basically agree this needs to be part one.Music from the Episode:Nadine (Is It You) (George Benson)Turning Waylon Down (Alison Prestwood)Austin (Blake Shelton)Beautiful Man (Alison Prestwood & Rodney Crowell)Thank you for listening.

If most of us grew up the way Dakota Ray Parker did, we'd have given up a long time ago. But the resilient, friendly Parker navigated his way through a rough and tumble childhood to funnel those traumatic experiences into outstanding songs and singing in his music. Parker joined us on Roots Music Rambler this week to talk about his turbulent upbringing, finding music was a natural escape to distract himself, then to writing and recording music that is now finding its way to a nice audience for the Kentucky native. His music is inspired by everything from Southern Gospel to 90s Country and even hip-hop. He told us his first musical dream was to be a rapper. Parker released two albums in 2025 and continues to knock out singles every so often. His latest single “Clown” has already amassed 150,000 streams on Spotify thanks to his traditional sounding vocals and catchy lyricism. His new single “Freeborn Man” drops the day this episode does (Feb. 13).  We not only got to hear his story and how he approaches songwriting, but we'll listen to snippets of four of his songs on the episode as well.  Frank and Falls also chat about Falls's recent trip to the Grand Ole Opry and rant a little about people who talk at certain types of concerts. The two also have new Pickin' The Grinnin' choices for music recommendations this week. Frank points to multi-instrumentalist and frequent session and guest musician John Calvin Abney. Falls shouts out The Wildmans.  Watch the Episode on YouTube Download the episode and subscribe at rootsmusicrambler.com, watch the full episode on YouTube, or download wherever you get your podcasts.  Also be sure to help spread the love of the show with Roots Music Rambler's new merch, now available at rootsmusicrambler.com/store.

Listen to an interview with “Mr. Las Vegas” Wayne Newton. With a career spanning more than seven decades, Wayne Newton is among the most enduring figures in American popular entertainment. He's best known for his 1963 hit “Danke Schoen,” and for a record-setting run of performances in Las Vegas. But Newton's career began much earlier, in the 1950s, when he was still a child, singing country music alongside his brother, Jerry. On February 14th, Wayne Newton brings his latest tour to Central Indiana, with a performance at the Allied Solutions Center for the Performing Arts in Carmel. WFYI's Kyle Long spoke with Wayne Newton about his early years in music, and his rise from radio and television to the Las Vegas Strip.

In this episode, I sit down with singer-songwriter CJ Hooper to talk about building songs—and confidence—as an independent artist without rushing the process. We dig into how moving from Texas to Washington shaped his musical perspective, and why honest, story-driven country music seems to resonate no matter where you live.CJ and I talk about releasing Over Yonder, his second album just a year after his debut, and the surprisingly self-confronting experience of hearing your own voice back in the studio. We also get into early cassette-tape influences, playing in a band with musicians decades older than him, cutting his teeth at open mics, and slowly figuring out how his original songs want to live in the world. It's a conversation about patience, craft, and letting the work grow naturally—one song at a time.Music from the Episode:Burn it Down (CJ Hooper)Lookie Over Yonder (CJ Hooper)Rain Song (CJ Hooper)Thank you for listening.

Posting online is a lot like going to the gym.You don't have to be a bodybuilder to belong there. You just have to show up.In this episode, I break down why waiting until you feel “ready” is the fastest way to stay invisible.

#914. You may think you know how American Idol works… but Gabby Barrett explains how the audition process actually goes.This week on Off The Vine, Gabby takes us behind the scenes of Idol in a way you've probably never heard before — from how she was really discovered, to what happens before you ever stand in front of the judges, to competing on the show while falling for her now-husband.After Idol, we get into the song no label wanted… before it changed her life forever and suddenly everyone started calling. We also talk about what tour life looks like with three kids, how she writes heartbreak songs from a happy marriage, and how a John Mayer quote shaped why she never reveals who her songs are about.AND yes — there's an embarrassingly honest confession you won't see coming.Trust us, this is one of the good ones ;) (get it?).If you're LOVING this podcast, please follow and leave a rating and review below!

Send us a textMusic videos used to be the way we got to “see” our favorite artists—and when it comes to Garth, those videos were basically another stage. In this episode, Deb, Pete, and Jess kick off their review of the Ultimate Hits DVD inside the Blame It All on My Roots: Five Decades of Influences box set, starting with the first three videos: “Much Too Young (To Feel This Damn Old),” “If Tomorrow Never Comes,” and “The Dance.”Along the way, we get sentimental (and a little nostalgic) about how hard it can be to find Garth's videos in 2026, why it matters even more when he isn't performing regularly, and how these clips feel like time capsules back to “baby Garth” and the early days. Expect laughs about wild old-school transitions, love for the band's long history, and some real feelings when we hit “The Dance.”What is YOUR favorite Garth Brooks music video??  Let us know on any of our social media accounts!Support the showFind us at:Facebook: facebook.com/garthologycastTwitter: twitter.com/garthologycastInstagram: instagram.com/garthologycastWebsite: Garthology.comEmail us at: garthologycast@gmail.com

The first week back on the road always feels like a high-wire act: new production, cold weather, and the pressure to sound bulletproof while your voice fights the season. We open with the messy truth of touring in winter, a car accident that derailed a day, and how those surprises ripple through rehearsals, buses, and call times. From there, we shift gears into the craft we love—why chorus-first songs win in a short-attention economy, and how a bass line or four-note guitar tag can brand an entire era before the first lyric lands.We pull back the curtain on setlist design and the tricky balance between fan service and show flow. Those DMs asking us to play a deep-cut B-side or announce a birthday? Here's why that breaks more than it fixes. We nerd out on hooks, pacing, and the math of modern arrangements, with nods to Jelly Roll's “strongest-line-first” approach and the relentless catchiness of mega-streamers. If you write, produce, or just love dissecting songs, this is a masterclass in how structure, motif, and musical space keep a crowd locked in.Then we zoom out to the business. What happens when artists notch a few hits and seem to vanish? We talk radio vs. hard tickets, corporates, fairs, and the quiet middle class of country performers who build long, profitable careers off recognizable catalogs. Culture doesn't stay quiet either: we react to protests entering churches, the risks families face when lines blur, and the basic etiquette that keeps public spaces safe—on highways, in arenas, and yes, on airplanes. We lighten the mood with listener stories, a small-town rescue that restores some faith, and a confession about late-night social buys, including a jaw gadget we can't wait to roast on camera.If you're here for songwriting insight, touring realities, and the unvarnished truth about fan-artist boundaries, you'll feel right at home.

In this episode, I sit down with drummer David Northrup for a deep and wide-ranging conversation about groove, longevity, and serving the song. David has built an incredible career by doing precisely that, whether he's playing traditional country, blues, soul, or roots-based music. We start by talking about his current work with Joe Nichols, why it's such a musical and personal fit, and what it means to work for an artist who values authenticity, consistency, and real country music. David shares stories from the road and explains why being a good human is just as important as being a great drummer.We spend time digging into David's early musical influences growing up in central New York, where constant exposure to Motown, singer-songwriter records, pop radio, and classic albums shaped his musical instincts. David talks about learning by listening, studying album credits, and developing a deep appreciation for feel and style long before social media or online tutorials existed. He reflects on how that environment taught him to truly listen, absorb, and respect the music rather than chase trends.David walks through his path to becoming a professional drummer, from starting in school band programs to a pivotal moment when he saw Chuck Mangione perform while in college. That experience helped him realize music was the path he needed to take seriously. We talk about the importance of mentors, including teachers who challenged him when he wasn't ready and supported him when he was, and how discipline, fundamentals, and humility played a massive role in his development.We dive deep into David's years in Nashville, including his first five years building connections, studio work, and eventually landing his long-running gig with Travis Tritt. David explains how Nashville truly is a five-year town, why patience matters, and how preparation and professionalism keep you working once you get the call. We also talk about his deep admiration for drummers like Carlos Vega, Jeff Porcaro, Steve Jordan, Russ Kunkel, and others, and why groove, taste, and feel will always matter more than flash.A significant highlight of the conversation is David's time touring with Boz Scaggs. He shares what it was like to step into such an iconic musical legacy, learn to play with conviction at very low volumes, and work alongside world-class musicians night after night. We talk about why playing the room matters, how restraint can be more complicated than power, and why those lessons apply to every drummer at every level.We also spend time talking about David's solo record Shapes, including how it came together over many years, the musicians involved, and why recording live, organic performances was central to the album's sound. David explains his philosophy of making music that's groove-focused, accessible, and enjoyable for listeners beyond just musicians. We close by discussing teaching, clinics, the importance of shuffle feel, regional time concepts, and the soft skills that help musicians not just get gigs but keep them. It's an honest, thoughtful conversation packed with wisdom for musicians and music lovers alike.To learn more about David, visit his website.

Welcome to the very first episode of the 9941 Podcast—a faith-centered conversation rooted in the words of Jesus and the mission to leave the ninety-nine to find the one. In this debut episode, Granger Smith, Tyler Smith, Parker Smith, and The AntMan introduce the heart behind 9941 and explain why this podcast exists. What began as the conclusion of the Granger Smith Podcast now becomes a focused calling—discipleship over popularity, obedience over comfort, and faith over fear. The group reflects on Granger’s decision to step away from country music, the ripple effect it had on family and business, and how God reshaped desires, priorities, and identity along the way. Tyler shares a powerful testimony of surrender after striving in his own strength, while Parker talks about transition, obedience, and trusting God through uncertainty. Together, they wrestle honestly with questions many believers face:Is what I’m doing good—or is it pleasing to God?Am I reaching the crowd, or the one God is calling me to? This episode sets the spiritual foundation for the 9941 Podcast—centered on Luke 15, grounded in Scripture, and focused on authentic conversations about salvation, discipleship, trust, and following Jesus wherever He leads. If you’re searching for a Christian podcast about faith, obedience, purpose, and real-life transformation, this episode is where the journey begins.
