    Byron Duffin | What I Wish I’d Known About Retirement Before Starting a Podcast

    Send us Fan Mail Byron Duffin is the creator and host of the Musical Miles Podcast, but becoming a podcaster was never part of his retirement plan. After a longtime career as a manufacturing executive, Byron unexpectedly found himself retired and facing a question familiar to a lot of people entering a new chapter of life: “What do I do now?” The answer came from his daughter, Kallie, who suggested that Byron and his wife, Shanda, turn their lifelong love of live music into a podcast. In July 2024, Musical Miles Podcast was born. Just two weeks later, Byron conducted his first interview with singer-songwriter Heath Clark—whose family band had performed at Byron and Shanda’s wedding reception in 1983. What started almost on a whim quickly became far more than a retirement hobby. Today, Byron and Shanda travel the country attending songwriter festivals, concerts, Western music gatherings, rodeos and music events, sitting down face-to-face with the people who make the music happen. One principle has remained at the heart of the show from the beginning: the interviews are conducted in person. For Byron, being in the same room with an artist—and often in the places where their music is actually being performed—creates conversations that simply can't be duplicated through a screen. The show has grown dramatically since that first interview. Apple Podcasts currently lists Byron Duffin as the creator of Musical Miles Podcast and more than 240 episodes, while Buzzsprout identifies Byron as host and Shanda Duffin as co-host. Along the way, Byron has interviewed everyone from unknown and emerging independent artists to award-winning performers and Hall of Fame-caliber songwriters. But the mission has remained the same: give artists a place to tell their stories, preserve the stories behind the songs, introduce listeners to new music, and celebrate the venues, festivals and fans that keep live music alive. For Byron, retirement didn't mean slowing down. It meant discovering an entirely different road. The microphone, camera equipment, editing, social media, YouTube, websites, travel schedules and endless hours required to build a podcast were things he had to learn along the way. And that's become part of his story too—the lessons, mistakes, surprises and opportunities that come from starting over at an age when you're supposedly supposed to be winding down. What began with the question “What am I going to do in retirement?” has turned into thousands of miles traveled, hundreds of conversations and an unexpected second act built around something Byron and Shanda have loved their entire lives: music and the people behind it. Real Roads. Real Songs. Real Stories. That's Musical Miles—and for Byron Duffin, it's proof that retirement doesn't have to be the end of the story. It can be the beginning of the best chapter yet.

    Deb Scheer | It’s Never Too Late to Chase the Songwriting Dream

    Send us Fan Mail Deb Scheer is a Colorado singer-songwriter whose music reflects a lifetime of influences ranging from folk and Americana to country, jazz, and musical theater. Born and raised on Long Island, New York, Deb has called Colorado home since 1984, bringing both her East Coast beginnings and Western experiences into her songwriting. Music has been part of Deb's life since her teenage years. She began singing and playing in high school, even starting a country band during her senior year. Her passion for music continued into college, where she began writing her own songs and ultimately earned a Bachelor of Arts in Music from SUNY Oswego. Like many songwriters, Deb's musical journey didn't follow a straight line. She stepped away from performing and songwriting for a period to raise her family, but the desire to create music never disappeared. Eventually she returned to writing and performing with a renewed perspective, spending recent years learning from and working with accomplished songwriting mentors in Nashville. That commitment to developing her craft earned Deb recognition in 2024 when she was selected as a Bronze Scholar in the inaugural John Cirillo Songwriting Scholarship program, an organization created to support and encourage songwriters through education, mentorship and community. Deb has also become part of Colorado's growing songwriter community. She appeared at the Grand Mesa Songwriter Festival in both 2025 and 2026, joining accomplished writers for intimate performances built around original songs and the stories behind them. Musical Miles Podcast caught up with Deb at the 2026 Grand Mesa Songwriter Festival, where we had the opportunity to talk about her music, songwriting journey and what it means to return to a creative passion after putting it aside to raise a family. Deb Scheer's story is a great reminder that there is no expiration date on chasing a dream. Sometimes the miles between where you started and where you ultimately arrive are exactly what give you the stories worth turning into songs.

Raised on the prairies of the Nebraska Panhandle and now based in the Denver area, Gilmore has built a career around preserving traditional roots music while creating original songs for a new generation. And the accolades are impressive. Martin won the Telluride Bluegrass Festival Troubadour Competition in 2024, the Rocky Mountain Folks Festival Songwriter Showcase in 2024, and was a 2025 Kerrville Folk Festival New Folk winner. He was also nominated for the 2025 IBMA Momentum Award for Mentor of the Year. Martin's career reaches far beyond Colorado.

    Havilah Rand | Songwriting, Storytelling & Inspiring the Next Generation

    Send us Fan Mail Havilah Rand is an award-winning singer-songwriter, performer, and educator whose career has taken her from the jazz halls of New York City and the post-grunge music scene of Seattle to Austin's legendary songwriter community and stages throughout the United States and Europe. Her music moves comfortably between Americana, folk, blues, jazz, and country, driven by thoughtful lyrics, soulful vocals, and a lifelong commitment to storytelling. Havilah's relationship with songwriting began remarkably early. She started composing songs around the age of six on an old piano given to her family and grew up listening to artists including James Taylor, Carole King, Joni Mitchell, The Rolling Stones, and The Police. Her talent eventually led her to study at Interlochen Arts Academy and the Manhattan School of Music, where she received formal training in jazz and classical vocal technique. After leaving New York, Havilah headed west to Seattle, where she fronted the pop-rock band Wish before picking up the guitar and pursuing a solo career. She recorded her first three albums in the Pacific Northwest and spent more than a decade touring regionally and nationally. Her musical journey later carried her to Europe, including Ireland, the United Kingdom and the Mediterranean, before she relocated to Austin, Texas, in 2007. She is now based in Bellingham, Washington. Over the course of her career, Havilah has released five full-length albums, with songwriting that combines poetic lyricism with groove-oriented Americana. Her catalog includes Superfarmhouse, Bengalese Butterflies and A High Wave, along with more recent releases including "Walk With Me," "Come Back to the Living," and "Catherine." A sixth full-length project, Mountains, is slated for release in late 2026. But Havilah's work reaches well beyond the stage. She is a National Board Certified Teacher with a master's degree in teaching and the founder of Holistic ArtVentures, which uses songwriting to encourage creativity, empathy, collaboration, and confidence. Through her songwriting programs and LifeSong Project, she has worked with hundreds of children and elders, helping people transform their own experiences and stories into songs. Her work has also earned her a nomination for the Esme Barrera Music in Education and Activism Award. In June 2026, Havilah brought those worlds together in Colorado, leading a Young Songwriter Summer Camp connected with the Grand Mesa Songwriter Festival. Young participants learned lyric and melody writing and were given the opportunity to perform during the festival's opening concert. Musical Miles Podcast met up with Havilah Rand at the 2026 Grand Mesa Songwriter Festival in Cedaredge, Colorado, where we had the opportunity to hear more about the life, music, travels, and experiences behind the songs. She's an artist whose story demonstrates that songwriting can be much more than entertainment—it can be a way of connecting generations, preserving stories, and helping others discover their own voice.

    Green Room Stories with Braxton Hamblen | Dusty Vaquero Days

    Send us Fan Mail Braxton Hamblen is a Northern Colorado singer-songwriter whose music is firmly rooted in the Western way of life, blending influences from Red Dirt country, cowboy music, and indie folk. Raised around agriculture, horses, and small-town life, Braxton doesn't simply write about the cowboy lifestyle—he lives it, spending time team roping and helping his family train horses when he's not making music. Braxton picked up the guitar at an early age and began developing his own songs while still young. Influenced by artists such as Turnpike Troubadours, Cross Canadian Ragweed, and Stoney LaRue, he's developed a sound built around honest songwriting, Western storytelling, and experiences drawn from his own life. His growing catalog includes his 2024 album Broken Boys Dream, along with songs including "Cowboy Dreams," "Mexican Pony," "Shit Colts," "Watch Me Pack," and "Work in Progress." His music reflects a young artist carrying the traditions of the West forward while putting his own stamp on the independent country and Red Dirt scene. Musical Miles Podcast caught up with Braxton during Dusty Vaquero Days in Gillette, Wyoming, for an informal conversation in the green room. Away from the stage and without the formality of a traditional sit-down interview, Braxton joined us for a relaxed chat about his music, his cowboy roots, songwriting, and the experiences shaping his journey as an artist. Braxton Hamblen represents exactly the kind of artist we love discovering on the road—a working cowboy, songwriter, musician, and storyteller whose songs come from a life genuinely lived.

    Jimmy Cantwell | Cowboy Songs, Horses & Stories from the American West

    Send us Fan Mail Jimmy Cantwell is a Colorado-based singer-songwriter and second-generation horseman whose music is rooted in the real-life experiences of the American West. A soldier, horse trainer, working cowboy and storyteller, Cantwell has spent years gathering the kind of experiences that can’t be manufactured—and he has turned those miles, horses, hard work and lessons learned into authentic country and Western songs. Cantwell has ridden colts, trained horses for both the public and the U.S. Army, and picked up cowboy day work along the way. That background gives his songwriting an unmistakable authenticity. Rather than simply singing about Western life, Cantwell writes from a life he has actually lived. His music moves comfortably between traditional country, Western music and the storytelling traditions that have long connected cowboys through song. His talent has also earned recognition within the Western music community. Cantwell took first place in the 2024 IWMA Colorado Chapter Talent Round-Up, further establishing himself among a new generation of performers carrying Western music forward. In 2026, Cantwell made his debut at the prestigious 41st National Cowboy Poetry Gathering in Elko, Nevada, presented by the Western Folklife Center. There he performed alongside artists including Brigid & Johnny Reedy and Dakota Holdaway, sharing original songs such as “Maybe Someday,” “Worlds Collide,” “Fiddlers Lament,” “Sleepless, Thoughtful, Nights,” “Cowboy Till I Die,” and “Cicada Song.” That Elko appearance helped introduce Cantwell to an even wider Western audience, with his thoughtful songwriting and musicianship drawing attention as part of the next generation of Western performers. Cantwell continues to write, record and perform, including the 2026 release “Tonight’s The Night I Start Drinking” on Cloverdale Records. At his core, Jimmy Cantwell represents what makes Western music endure: real experiences turned into real songs. Whether the story comes from horseback, military service, a day’s cowboy work or another stretch of road, Cantwell delivers it without pretense. As his National Cowboy Poetry Gathering biography puts it, at the end of the day he’s simply a “good ol’ cowboy singer.” More About Jimmy Cantwell: Instagram: https://share.google/20uveiRrv4TuabFyw Facebook: https://share.google/mpYHj29bQalD0WtzQ Spotify: https://share.google/9tFI4x8DK0rm10nQj 🎵 In This Episode: • Jimmy Cantwell interview • US Cavalry • Dusty Vaquero Days • Cowboy Music MORE ABOUT MUSICAL MILES PODCAST: Website: https://share.google/njnmmglKCpu8nX7jn Instagram: https://share.google/PvAJe1qGxIKhYSVZ7 Facebook: https://share.google/OcbFlCHb3fSntAVhX TikTok: https://share.google/ikD2YSj8qEMv3ROY2 Spotify: https://share.google/ooaz1mIUqHoM9CW9z YouTube: https://share.google/7xkaESL50rsQx93Qr SPONSORSHIP INFORMATION: Contact Byron Duffin musicalmilespodcast@gmail.com 208-690-1426 SHOUTOUT TO OUR SPONSORS: Click the links for more info Our Guitar Sponsor Klos Guitars ~ www.klosguitar.com ROPER ~ Wear The West For Discounts on Boots, Shoes and Western Apparel ClICK THE LINK:  https://eroper.com/?ref=BYRONDUFFIN TIN HAUL ~ 30% DISCOUNTS For our Musical Miles Podcast followers Click the link to shop. https://tinhaul.com/?ref=BYRONDUFFIN FOR PODCAST EPISODE SPONSORSHIP OPPORTUNITIES: Contact Byron Duffin 208-690-1426 musicalmilespodcast@gmail.com #jimmycantwell, #cowboymusican, #dustyvaquerodays #klosguitars, #cowboymusic, #songwriter,  #countrymusic,  #musicalmilespodcast,  #PodcastInterview, #MusicalMiles, #songwriterinterview, Support the show TO SUPPORT THE PODCAST DONATE HERE: https://patreon.com/MusicalMilesPodcast

    Brady Stovall | Chasing the Cowboy Music Dream Inspired by Dave Stamey

    Send us Fan Mail Brady Stovall is a singer-songwriter bringing an authentic, lived-in voice to the modern Western music scene. Hailing from California’s San Joaquin Valley, Stovall didn’t grow up in the cowboy lifestyle—but once he found it, he dove in headfirst. Today, the experiences he’s collected working with horses, packing mules through the Sierra Nevada and playing late-night stages have become the foundation for his songwriting. Stovall’s music is rooted in traditional country and cowboy storytelling, drawing inspiration from old cowboy ballads, pack-string trails, working ranches and the characters encountered along the way. Rather than simply singing about Western life from a distance, Stovall has lived much of what finds its way into his songs—from packing mules in the Sierras to riding broncs in California’s San Joaquin Valley. That firsthand experience gives his songwriting an honesty and grit that feels increasingly rare in modern country music. His sound combines the storytelling tradition of classic country with a raw, contemporary approach. Songs such as “Headin’ Out Showin’” showcase that connection between working Western culture and original country music. Stovall is also gaining recognition beyond his home territory. He is part of the lineup for the 42nd National Cowboy Poetry Gathering in Elko, Nevada, one of the premier gatherings celebrating cowboy poetry, music and Western culture. Whether he’s horseback in the mountains, riding Ranch Broncs or standing behind a microphone with a guitar, Brady Stovall represents a new generation carrying traditional Western storytelling forward—writing songs about the people, places and experiences that continue to define life in the America More About Brady Stovall: Instagram: https://share.google/RFzBwAdEC1cmRxTpv Facebook: https://share.google/HU7bqIFR6of4xLmd9 Sound Cloud: https://share.google/Jrzh72G3TLJzIIwiR 🎵 In This Episode: • Brady Stovall interview • California Cowboy • Dusty Vaquero Days • Emerging Artist MORE ABOUT MUSICAL MILES PODCAST: Website: https://share.google/njnmmglKCpu8nX7jn Instagram: https://share.google/PvAJe1qGxIKhYSVZ7 Facebook: https://share.google/OcbFlCHb3fSntAVhX TikTok: https://share.google/ikD2YSj8qEMv3ROY2 Spotify: https://share.google/ooaz1mIUqHoM9CW9z YouTube: https://share.google/7xkaESL50rsQx93Qr SPONSORSHIP INFORMATION: Contact Byron Duffin musicalmilespodcast@gmail.com 208-690-1426 SHOUTOUT TO OUR SPONSORS: Click the links for more info Our Guitar Sponsor Klos Guitars ~ www.klosguitar.com ROPER ~ Wear The West For Discounts on Boots, Shoes and Western Apparel ClICK THE LINK:  https://eroper.com/?ref=BYRONDUFFIN TIN HAUL ~ 30% DISCOUNTS For our Musical Miles Podcast followers Click the link to shop. https://tinhaul.com/?ref=BYRONDUFFIN FOR PODCAST EPISODE SPONSORSHIP OPPORTUNITIES: Contact Byron Duffin 208-690-1426 musicalmilespodcast@gmail.com #bradystovall, #dustyvaquerodays  #cowboymusic, #songwriter,  #countrymusic,  #musicalmilespodcast,  #PodcastInterview, #MusicalMiles, #songwriterinterview, #emergingartist Support the show TO SUPPORT THE PODCAST DONATE HERE: https://patreon.com/MusicalMilesPodcast
