This week, a special road trip episode featuring award-winning Owensboro, Kentucky bluegrass singer/songwriter Rick Faris and his band recorded live at the 2024 Walnut Valley Festival in Winfield, Kansas. The annual Walnut Valley Festival, now in it's 53rd season, is one of the oldest and most respected acoustic music festivals in the world. Held at the Winfield, Kansas fairgrounds, more than 30 musical acts will perform on four separate stages, presenting over 200 hours of live music. Also, there is a dedicated contest stage where contestants vie for national and international championships in Finger Style Guitar, Flat Pick Guitar, Bluegrass Banjo, Old Time Fiddle, Mandolin, Mountain Dulcimer, Hammered Dulcimer, and Autoharp. There is a juried arts and crafts fair, exhibits by renowned instrument makers and music shops, family activities, a bevy of food vendors, a farmer's market and even a pub! An unusual aspect of Walnut Valley is its campground tradition. Campsites are not reserved and campers line up to claim a choice campsite during the "Land Rush.” Walnut Valley Festival goers often bring their own musical instruments to participate in the sometimes all night campground jam sessions. Bands like Old Sound and Sally & The Hurts that began as "Jam Bands" in the campgrounds, have even been invited to perform at the festival. Rick Faris is a Kansas Music Hall of Fame Member who was recently awarded the “Songwriter of the Year” at the 2024 International Bluegrass Music Association Awards making him an 8-time IBMA Award winner. In addition Rick won the coveted “New Artist of the Year” in 2022. Faris also spent 11 years with Special Consensus while the band earned two GRAMMY nominations before embarking on his chart topping solo career. The Rick Faris Band, is an International touring Bluegrass outfit playing in the US, Mainland Europe, the British Isles and Canada. They bring sibling harmony and comedic relief with brother JimBob Faris on bass and a youthful snap to their original brand of music with a couple of bluegrass thoroughbreds, Henry Burgess (who grew up with fiddle legend Byron Berline) and Gibson Davis (who is a third generation bluegrass musician following father Chris Davis and his Grandfather Danny Davis). Rick recently moved to Owensboro, Kentucky the Bluegrass Music Capital and has opened his Faris Guitar Co. - https://rickfaris.com/press-kit In this week's “From the Vault” segment, OHR producer Jeff Glover offers a 1988 archival recording of gospel music legends The Chuck Wagon Gang performing the 1934 J.R. Baxter song “After the Sunrise,” from the Ozark Folk Center State Park archives. In his segment “Back in the Hills,” writer, professor and historian Dr. Brooks Blevins explores the storied history of early gospel music publishing in the Ozark and Quachita Mountains.

On today's episode of The Jimmy Rex Show, Jimmy sits down with Kurt Bestor — two-time Emmy Award winner, Grammy-nominated composer, and one of the most recognized musical storytellers in the country.They talk about what it means to create work that outlives you, why music can carry emotion further than words, and how Kurt thinks about legacy as impact, not ego. Kurt shares how the industry has changed from the early days of recording and networking to the modern world of streaming, social media, and constant noise — and why live performance still matters more than ever.Jimmy and Kurt also go deep on creativity, curiosity, and the mindset that keeps Kurt evolving at 67. They break down the role of technology and AI in music, what AI can actually help with, what it can't replace, and why the “human” part of art is the whole point. Then Kurt tells the real story behind “Prayer of the Children” — how it came to him, what was happening in the world when he wrote it, and why it continues to resonate across generations.A powerful conversation about art, purpose, staying sharp, and making something real.

Grammy-nominated, platinum-selling singer-songwriter Eric Paslay joins me to talk about about the night he drew my song idea out of a hat.Eric brought his unique songwriting experience, "Song In A Hat" to Hop On A Cure's "Harmony for Hope"" event and something magical happened there.  My "Song In A Hat" idea was randomly drawn.  This led to me joining musicians Eric Paslay, Kristian Bush, Chris Gelbuda, Cyndi Thomson and DJ Goodman on stage to witness my song idea turn into an actual song - in under just 10 minutes.  My idea was "Come Into Our World."  My intent was to have a song created that would invite others to understand ALS and join our fight for a cure. Here we learn more about this master of music, talk about that evening and how we can wrap up the song and release to the world.  Eric has made a significant impact on the music industry with his hit singles "Friday Night", "Song About a Girl", and "She Don't Love You".  He has written and co-written many hits for other artists, including Lady A, Rascal Flatts, Keith Urban, Amy Grant, Dierks Bentley, Charles Kelley and more.  Eric co-wrote Jake Owen's "Barefoot Blue Jean Night", the Will Hoge/Eli Young Band song "Even If It Breaks Your Heart", and Love and Theft's "Angel Eyes" all of which were number 1 singles on the country charts. He was diagnosed with Type 1 diabetes at 10 years old, and uses his platform to advocate for diabetes awareness, inspiring and supporting others living with the condition.Listen in to our heartfelt and powerful conversation bursting with HOPE.  Thank you for sharing with a friend.Follow and see what's coming next: Instagram, Facebook, Twitter, TikTok, LinkedIn.

There is a strange ritual in America. A man buys a jersey with another man's name on the back, a man he has never met, and then proceeds to argue with strangers about that man's greatness as if he raised him from birth. We understand this in sports. It is tribal. It is harmless. But now we've taken the jersey mentality and strapped it to politics.Enter Bad Bunny.Bad Bunny was selected for success, likely by a cabal. He won the first Grammy ever for a foreign language album. How did he get on the radar of the selection committee. It certainly wasn't for his disgusting music.See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

Stella Cole joins the podcast to discuss her unique journey from a musical-theatre-obsessed child in Springfield, Illinois, to a global jazz sensation. She opens up about the "old soul" label she has carried since infancy and how she navigated a high-pressure academic environment at Northwestern University while privately yearning for the music of Judy Garland and Doris Day. Stella shares the vulnerable story of nearly quitting singing altogether before finding her voice again during the 2020 lockdown, leading to a meteoric rise on TikTok that felt more like a "fake little thing" on her phone than a career-changing event. The conversation dives deep into the realities of being a touring artist in the modern age, from the scrappy days of singing for dinner in Brooklyn to signing with a major label and recording with a full string orchestra at Power Station. Stella discusses the profound emotional power of the Great American Songbook, her transition from viral creator to live performer, and her future aspirations to return to her theater roots. She offers insightful reflections on mental health, the dangers of social media overstimulation, and why she still keeps the idea of law school in the back of her mind just in case. Stella Cole is a vocalist and recording artist who first gained international attention through her viral performances of jazz standards on social media. A graduate of Northwestern University, she has toured extensively as a featured performer with Postmodern Jukebox and has sold out prestigious venues in New York, London, and beyond. Her discography includes her self-titled debut project and the 2024 album It's Magic, featuring arrangements by Grammy winner Alan Broadbent.

Hello music lovers, and welcome to another edition of Why Music Matters. I'm your host, music journalist and musician Jeff Miers. Today, my guests represent a cross-generational journey through the ever-evolving world of jazz.  Alex McArthur is a singer and storyteller whose resume reads like that of a musician three times her age. A winner of multiple JazzBuffalo Vocalist of the Year awards, Alex brings a distinct soulfulness to any music she lends her voice to, whether she's singing something she wrote herself, or flexing her interpretive muscles on the works of legends like Ella Fitzgerald, Stevie Wonder, and Mavis Staples.  Alex is joined today by a man who has acted as a significant mentor in her musical journey.  Pianist George Caldwell is credited by Alex as, quote, “the first person I ever attempted to sing jazz in front of, and the person who encouraged me to explore vocal jazz and improvisation in the first place.”  In his role as Director of the Student Jazz Ensembles and Music Piano Performance Instructor at the University at Buffalo, George has employed his decades of experience as a Grammy-winning professional musician to help mold the musical imaginations of countless young artists-in-the-making.  Those decades of experience include tenures with the Count Basie Orchestra, the Duke Ellington Orchestra, tap dancer and choreographer Saivon Glover, R&B legend Ruth Brown, and right here in Buffalo, the awe-inspiring Star People, a Miles Davis Repertory Ensemble.  Currently, Alex and George are in the midst of performing Lady Day at Emerson's Bar & Grill, a recreation of Billie Holiday's final performance, with Alex inhabiting the role of Lady Day, and George acting as Musical Director.  The show, a MusicalFare production, is running at Shea's Smith Theatre in Buffalo's Theatre and Entertainment District, through February 15. (You can learn more about the production and purchase tickets through musicalfare.com.)  Welcome to Why Music Matters, Alex McArthur and George Caldwell!

Bad Bunny, the Puerto Rican superstar Benito Antonio Martínez Ocasio, dominated headlines this week with his explosive Super Bowl LX halftime show on February 8 at Levi's Stadium in Santa Clara, California. According to ABC News, he brought Puerto Rican culture front and center, opening with "Tití Me Preguntó" amid a sugar cane field scene, then crashing through a market roof set for "BAILE INoLVIDABLE" and "NUEVAYoL." Dressed in an all-white jersey emblazoned with "Ocasio," he waved a Puerto Rican flag, handed a Grammy to a young boy on stage symbolizing immigrant dreams, and closed with fireworks during "DtMF."CBS News reports guest stars lit up the performance: Lady Gaga in a salsa twist on "Die with a Smile," Ricky Martin on "Lo Que Le Paso a Hawaii," plus Cardi B, Jessica Alba, Karol G, and Pedro Pascal. The setlist, per Business Insider, pulled from hits like "Yo Perreo Sola," "Safaera," "Party," "Monaco," "El Apagón," and tracks from his Grammy-winning album Debí Tirar Más Fotos, the first all-Spanish project to snag Album of the Year just a week prior.The show marked history as the first primarily Spanish-language halftime spectacle, sparking massive buzz. Apple Music data shows Bad Bunny listens spiked 7x post-show, with "DtMF," "BAILE INoLVIDABLE," and "Tití Me Preguntó" topping streams; lyrics views for "BAILE INoLVIDABLE" surged 119% in the US. It even featured a real wedding officiated onstage, as a Bad Bunny rep confirmed to the Associated Press.Reactions poured in. NFL Commissioner Roger Goodell hailed him as one of the world's great artists, but President Trump blasted it on Truth Social as "absolutely terrible" and "disgusting," per CBS News, amid Bad Bunny's prior ICE critiques in his Grammy speech. Conservative group Turning Point USA countered with a Kid Rock stream.Social media and music sites buzz with his global impact, from Shazam surges to tour announcements like Barcelona dates in May. This performance cements Bad Bunny's reign, blending reggaeton, plena, and personal storytelling.Thanks for tuning in, listeners—come back next week for more.

This week we feature fiddler, singer and songwriter Tammy Rogers of The SteelDrivers.  We will talk about her career in bluegrass, her songwriting, The SteelDrivers recent Grammy nomination and the band celebrating their 20 year anniversary last year. 

The Marías is a band from Los Angeles, made up of María Zardoya, Josh Conway, Jesse Perlman, and Edward James. They released their first EPs in 2017 and 2018, and their first album in 2021. But then, as you'll hear, there was a period of a lot of uncertainty around the band's future. Eventually, their second album, Submarine, came out in 2024, and it was incredibly successful. Stereogum called it one of the best albums of the year, and the band was nominated for a Grammy for Best New Artist. But all of that almost didn't happen. I talked to María about the making of their hit song “No One Noticed.” The story's beginning, middle, and end all took place during different eras of the band's existence. In the middle section, when maybe they weren't going to even be a band anymore, María enlisted the help of Grammy-nominated producer Gianluca Buccellati.

On an April afternoon in 1964, a police officer's observation of an unusual, landed aircraft in New Mexico would become one of ufology's most baffling cold cases. Decades later, two women's unnerving encounter with a strange aircraft over a Texas highway would leave them suffering from health effects that led them to believe they had witnessed a U.S. government test gone awry. But could these two famous UFO cases have more in common than most would ever think?  This week on The Micah Hanks Program, our examination of some of America's most controversial UFO cases leads us to questions about a supposed "UFO legacy program," and what such a program—if it exists—might entail. Could some of history's most well-documented UFO cases point to something the U.S. government knows far more about than it's letting on?   Want to advertise/sponsor The Micah Hanks Program?

Episode 373 | Live From America Podcast Should sports be political? Andrew Heaton joins Live From America to debate the Super Bowl controversy and America's growing identity divide. From celebrity activism to the Epstein files, we explore tribalism, immigration, elite accountability, and whether the country is more united or divided than ever. Comedian, writer, and Political Orphanage host Andrew Heaton sits down with Hatem Gabr and Noam Dworman for a wide-ranging conversation on American identity, sports and politics, media-driven outrage, and cultural division. The episode begins with a debate over the Super Bowl halftime show and whether sports should remain separate from politics. Andrew argues that Americans need cultural spaces where people can come together outside of partisan conflict — while examining how politicians and media outlets amplify division for power and ratings. From Colin Kaepernick's kneeling to Bud Light backlash, from Billie Eilish's Grammy comments to immigration policy, the conversation explores how cultural flashpoints become political battlegrounds — and whether that's healthy for a functioning democracy. The discussion then shifts to the Epstein files, elite accountability, and the controversial behavior of powerful figures including Elon Musk. Are America's political and economic elites insulated from consequences? And what does that mean for public trust? Topics Covered: Should sports and politics mix? Super Bowl controversy and cultural symbolism Tribalism and media outrage culture Immigration and American identity Celebrity activism: meaningful or performative? The Epstein files and elite protection Elon Musk controversies Individual responsibility vs collective guilt Is America united or permanently divided? About the Guest Andrew Heaton is a comedian, political satirist, and host of the podcast The Political Orphanage. Known for his thoughtful, independent analysis, Heaton focuses on limited government, civil discourse, and bridging ideological divides through long-form conversations. About the Show Live From America Podcast covers American politics, culture, national security, and media through sharp debate, expert interviews, and comedic insight. Hosted by Hatem Gabr and Noam Dworman, the show brings together journalists, comedians, analysts, and public thinkers to unpack the biggest stories shaping America.

Send a textA prayer for clarity. A 3 a.m. wake-up call. A career pivot no one saw coming. Drew Parker sat atop a decade of hard-won Nashville success—Grammy and CMA nods, stadium tours with Luke Combs, a label pushing singles at country radio—yet the joy faded when the lights went down. Wrestling with frustration and purpose, he asked God to speak so clearly that denial would be impossible. Five days later, his unbelieving manager called, shaken by nights of being jolted awake with one message: you're supposed to sing about Jesus.Reclaiming the Wild is back — April 24–26 at Abundant Blessings Farm (Stem, NC).

My guest on this week's Bitesize episode is Sara Watkins, who joins me to talk about I'm With Her's Grammy winning album 'Wild and Clear and Blue'. It's an album I really love (and a conversation I loved too) and I wanted to put something out to celebrate not only the Grammy win, but also the Grammy they won for the opening track 'Ancient Light'.Sara talks about the process behind writing the record, which began to take shape shortly after the pandemic, why collaboration was so important and the central themes that emerged during the process. We also talk about community and connection in music and how the line between audience and stage is a little thinner in folk music than for some other formats.This comes from a longer conversation we had in 2025. You'll find the full interview with Sara here.Sara also mentions an interview I did with her bandmate Sarah Jarosz, about her album 'Blue Heron Suite'.For more info on I'm With Her, including upcoming tour dates and to buy I'm With Her vinyl, CDs and merch, visit imwithherband.comFor regular updates follow Sara on Instagram and Facebook Support the show===Thanks to Bryan Sutton for his wonderful theme tune to Bluegrass Jam Along (and to Justin Moses for playing the fiddle!)

Think the Grammys always reward the biggest voices? We put that idea on trial. From Luke Combs and Blake Shelton to Eric Church and Martina McBride, we map the stunning list of country heavyweights with multiple nominations and zero wins—and ask what those numbers really say about merit, timing, and taste. Then we widen the lens: Jelly Roll's breakout sweep, Zac Top's historic Traditional Country win, and how a single new category can rewrite a career's story overnight.We keep the momentum with a packed news slate: Lainey Wilson's cryptic “Can't Sit Still” teasers and possible Netflix tie‑in, Hardy's cinematic multi‑generational collab featuring Tim McGraw, Eric Church, and Morgan Wallen, Tim McGraw's Pawn Shop Guitar tour routing through Fenway Park, and The Voice's two‑hour season launch after the Winter Games. Along the way, we talk performance versus polish, the role of auto‑tune in modern crossovers, and why some artists soar on stage even if the trophies never land.Our community brings the heat with the Question of the Day: name an artist who left a famous band and built a real solo legacy. From Michael Jackson, Phil Collins, Stevie Nicks, and Peter Gabriel to Darius Rucker and Peter Cetera, your picks fuel a rapid-fire tour through rock, country, pop, and beyond. We balance it with a transparent look at the business: do labels still help, or are they just advances with branding? Is touring truly profitable for rising acts in vans and trailers? And how do indie artists build durability when playlist spikes fade?We round it out with a sharp chart rundown—main and indie—plus a 2006 flashback to Carrie Underwood, Rascal Flatts, Keith Urban, Sugarland, Miranda Lambert, and George Strait, showing how yesterday's storytelling still shapes today's sound. If you love country music, industry strategy, and a lively back-and-forth that doesn't hedge, this one's for you.Enjoyed the show?

Episode 136 brings a familiar internet voice into the Jungle as Just AJ, also known as Mr. “Put The Camera Down,” steps into the den. Known for his sharp commentary and viral presence, AJ carries a perspective shaped by watching culture unfold in real time — and calling it out when necessary. From the moment the mics go live, the conversation balances humor with critique, as we unpack what it means to observe the world through a lens while reminding people to actually live in it.The music segment opens with DaBaby's “Be More Grateful,” sparking a conversation about growth, accountability, and whether artists can truly reset public perception once it shifts. Don Toliver's “Octane” shifts the energy into vibe-heavy territory, leading to debate about mood music versus message-driven records. Rod Wave's “Feed The Streets” closes out the run with emotional weight, prompting discussion about pain rap, relatability, and why vulnerability continues to dominate streaming culture.From there, the episode pivots into heavier territory. The release of the Epstein files — with high-profile names like Jay-Z and Bill Gates circulating in headlines — brings serious conversation about allegations, public reaction, and how quickly narratives spiral in the digital age. The possibility of Lil Baby versus Akademiks escalates into a larger talk about rap media, artist-journalist tension, and how commentary platforms have become power players in hip hop. The Grammys re-enter the discussion as well, raising familiar but necessary questions about credibility, industry politics, and whether award shows still reflect the culture or just perform for it.As always, the episode finds its heartbeat in the relationship segment. The squad revisits a question that only got surface-level treatment before: in today's world, are people more comfortable forming connections through social media or face-to-face? What are we gaining — and losing — when DMs replace eye contact? The conversation deepens as we ask whether emotional maturity and communication now outweigh sexual chemistry and physical attraction when building something real. And finally, we unpack a dynamic that doesn't get talked about enough — when forming a new connection, is it normal to use a middleman to bridge the gap, or does that already say something about confidence and intention?Episode 136 blends internet awareness with real-world introspection. It's cultural commentary mixed with self-reflection, laughs mixed with uncomfortable truths — exactly what happens when you put the camera down and actually talk.Welcome back to the Jungle.—Subscribe: YouTube.com/@JSCNetwork_ Follow: @thejunglesquadcast Ape Loso – @apeishere_ Rad – @radical_jl Rahh – @_rahhbanks Guest: Just AJ – Mr. Put The Camera Down#JungleSquadCast #Episode136 #JustAJ #PutTheCameraDown #HipHopTalk #CulturalCommentary #RelationshipDebates #PodcastCulture
