We welcome a Friend of the show, and Acclaimed Singer-Songwriter Fraser Churchill to the show, celebrating his debut EP 'Times Are Changin'
Known for his dynamic vocal style and multi-instrumental skills, Fraser's music connects intimately with audiences, making each song a shared experience. His international breakthrough as a songwriter came with the Charlie Puth song, “Patient” off the album Voicenotes and he has quickly become one of Nashville's most beloved Artists. Fraser's vibrant live performances and growing discography that explores various aspects of his musical identity have earned him acclaim in the industry.
With a track record that includes co-writing the 2021 Grammy-nominated Mickey Guyton song, “Black Like Me,” as well as other notable hits, Fraser Churchill is not just a musician but a storyteller whose songs echo the complexities of human emotions

We welcome one of Country Music's hottest acts, Jesse Daniel to the show. Since releasing his 2018 self-titled debut on his own Die True Records, he’s earned great esteem as a country music traditionalist and built a wildly devoted international following – thanks in no small part to his freewheeling live show and tendency to tour nearly 200 days a year, consistently selling out 500-capacity rooms.
Daniel’s fourth studio album, 'Countin' The Miles' features guest appearances from Haggard, Jon Randall, the legendary Gene Elders of George Strait’s Ace in the Hole Band – who passed away shortly after recording – and Jodi Lyford, Daniel’s partner, bandmate and frequent co-writer.

Had the opportunity to visit our friends at the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame in Cleveland and sat down with Greg Harris, President and CEO.

On the heels of their excellent collaborative EP, (Chapters Vol.1) Nashville based Super Duo Laura Reed and Megan Coleman call into Jrodconcerts: The Podcast from the road, to talk about their individual experiences falling in love with music as kids, using their Art of social change and how their backgrounds have guided them as Artists.
Megan also shares intimate details of her victory over Ovarian Cancer, while Laura shares how her mindset of turning darkness into light and opportunity has become a core part of her being.
Laura and Megan are two of the most prolific Artists of our generation having worked and toured with some of the biggest names in music. Check out their instant classic single 'Mercy' Out now and stay tuned for more from this power duo.

On the eve of the release of their beautiful second studio album, A Matter of Time, Soul-Rock Nashville based Icons LadyCouch join the show.
Keshia Bailey (Vocals/Percussion) and Allen Thompson (Vocals/Guitar) talk about how their upbringing ultimately got them to follow their musical purpose, Allen's transformative period and Keshia's decision to live in a state of Joy and Gratitude.
The duo also shares the story of their new album, and how they arrived at their finest collection yet - a group of songs inspired by the idea of fighting one's own guardian angel and the struggle for spiritual and human growth.
I loved getting to ask Keshia and Allen about the creative path that led to this album, recording at Southern Ground studios in Nashville and we were even traded to an exclusive performance of 'Seasick'.
