The Raised Rowdy Podcast

The couple that writes songs together, stays together…or something like that. We’ve been following Ben and Meg for a while now and while both have unique talents as individuals, it’s obvious they feed each other creatively.   This week we pick the couple’s minds about songwriting between chores, betting the over and the creative merch options to promote Ben’s single  Hippie Speedball.   Stick arou...

If you are in Nashville you know the buzz this week’s guest, After Midtown, have right now. After playing a few rounds of COD with country music royalty, the guys like to lock themselves in an apartment and write rock infused country anthems. The duo come from different, but all too similar, small towns and bring the fervor of basement hardcore shows to every performance. Get to know the guys befo...

You know why you know Trey, but now you get to know why you should have known him all along. He has the viral hit, but did you he’s a master of the sad song? He returns to the to discuss his recent pub deal, new EP and taking his friends on tour. Stick around for an acoustic version of What Happened to That with Kurt on Dobro.  

Ray's been on the podcast a few times, but things have changed since his last episode.  Nothing major, just a record deal, radio single in the works and playing the Opry. We're so excited for Ray's success and can't wait to see what's next. Hear more about his Opry performance and hear an acoustic rendition of  Girl In It  in this week's episode.  

From the NFL elite at his sold out shows to Brad Paisley taking him on tour, Kameron has become one of the fastest rising stars of recent memory. His personal songwriting (Giving You Up), distinct voice and ear for cuts from other writers ( Sober as a Drunk) makes him a force to be reckoned with. Hear about his recent EP, the Paisley tour and Patrick Mahomes on this week's episode. Stick around fo...

This is one of our wildest and most off-the-wall podcasts we’ve ever done. Topics include anything from Kaitlyn’s potential Only Fans account to her Instagram famous dog. We also discuss her recent track “How Lucky Am I” and get a sneak peak at a new single.

Fort Laramie, Ohio's Country Concert was the "festival before festivals". Over the past 40 years, it has evolved into a good spirited, family friendly (while amazingly still BYOB) checkpoint in the careers of many headliners. We're so thankful for the role Paul and his family have played in the roots of Raised Rowdy and country music as a whole.  So grab a cooler and get ready for some crazy stori...

From field parties to "shot and a chaser" releases, Noah Hicks knows how to put out a song with a bang. Not to mention, anyone who can get a cut and a video with Rhett Akins this early in their career has to have something going for them. Check out this week's episode where we get to know the stories behind Noah's epic releases and hear a version of his latest single,  Miss You Back , with Kurt on...

Boy, was this a fun one. We generally have a few when recording, but it’s definitely a first that someone brings a new method of drinking beer to the table.   But that’s just Canaan. He’s done everything from writing his own album end to end to radio hits and major tours. Now he’s returning to his lyric driven style with his new album,  High Country Sound .   Check out the episode to hear about th...

Vinnie is another member of the emerging Nashville Americana crew who we’ve had the opportunity to interview (see Nate Fredrick, Gabe Lee, etc.). But Vinnie’s northern roots give his sound a bit more Springsteen and Henley. Check out this week's episode to hear more about Vinnie’s history playing Philly dive bars and how he got involved with Revival. Stick around for a rendition of his single,  Go...

Lainey Wilson has taken "bell bottom country" to new heights with her new record,  Sayin' What I'm Thinkin'.   While we're excited about the success of Things a Man Oughta Know , the record opens with a banger in  Neon Diamonds  and doesn't quit. Check out this week's episode with an exclusive version of Things a Man Oughta Know  and don't forget to check out the music video featuring our host Kur...

Jameson is a songwriting, beer drinking, finger pointing son of a gun.  Over the past two years he's toured with Luke Combs, wrote his first #1 and got his first #1 song to country radio with Some Girls. It turned out for the best that COVID cancelled our initial podcast with Jameson, as Kurt got to share some special (and hilarious) stories from the road.  And stick around to hear an exclusive re...

This week welcome one of our first guests, Kenton Bryant, back to the podcast. A member of the 50 egg team and a disciple of Jonathan Singleton tree, Kenton's a working man's songwriter who can churn out well crafted songs just as well alone as he can working with the best in the world. And from what we've heard of his new project Covered in Dirt , he's just getting started. Stick around to the en...

Nate’s Different Shade of Blue is an exciting, complete album. Tracks like Paducah and Caroline will (and should) garner attention, but every track offers a different vibe while somehow providing cohesion to the greater work. We love Nate and this record. Hear more about it on this week's podcast with Nicky T and Kurt Ozan.

What can you say about Kurt....well first and foremost he's our favorite former sushi delivery guy.  That and he's got a knack for picking up pretty much anything and figuring it out. This is one of the many reasons we bonded with Kurt and have chosen him to be the new co-host of the Raised Rowdy Podcast.  This week we'll get some insight into how he made it to Nashville and into our hearts.  All...

Most people know Trey by know, but what they likely know him for is only one dimension of his deep character.  Who would've thought the guy who cut the raunchiest country song of recent memory (albeit still a damn good song) also spends nights listening to inspirational podcasts and putting together vision boards. Don't get us wrong, he's still the guy that will find a way to rhyme "big green trac...

It's been a few since we last sat down with Sam, but damn if he hasn't stayed rowdy in our absence. After catching all the fish in his pond, lockdown got to Sam and he hit the road to meet the people. The Backyards and Bonfires tour was sent Sam into the homes of fans and friends for small, socially distanced shows.  He connected so much through his experience that he plans to continue the traditi...

Nate loves beer.  We love beer. This week's podcast was easy. In all seriousness, Nate is an artist who pushes the boundaries of transparency. From songs about disaster in his home town to his departure and return to Nashville, Nate evokes emotions that you don't expect.  Then he buys you a beer. Check out Nate's new single  Sleeve  this Friday, February 19th, then hear his favorite beer on this w...

Who would've thought a guy who spent most of his upbringing off the grid would become one of the best artist/entrepreneur combos in country music? Well, a couple people figured it out (including Billy Gibbons from ZZ Top).   Tim brings his "Guns & Roses and Marlboro Country" energy to this weeks podcast from his underground viral marketing compound (aka garage).

In 2020, Jobe proved himself, but not in the way you might think.  We all know he had the vibe and the voice, but with the Rona Mixtape he had to do it all.   From setting up mics to learning the bass (not as simple a transition as it seems), Jobe worked his way through one of the more raw, heartfelt EPs of 2020. Hear more about the record and stories from the Raised Rowdy house on Jobe's second a...

One thing is apparent when you listen to Lily Rose.  She is a technician.  She burns to understand why and will do the work when she finds out. That's why her viral track "Villain" should not be a such a surprise.  Rose leveraged her pop sensibilities, "followed the blueprint" (her words, not ours) and drove home one of the more dynamic singles of 2020. This week's podcast gives you a sneak into L...

For a guy who didn't fancy himself a songwriter, Josh Kiser has developed a knack for putting out some of the most relatable tracks of recent memory. If the The F Word and   Never Drinking Again  are any indication, Josh will find a way to sing and write a soundtrack to your life.

2020 wasn't so great. That is, unless you're Drew Parker. In this week's episode Drew humbly recognizes that a tough year for most brought him his first child,  his first #1 as a songwriter and a killer EP that will help cement his status as one of the brightest rising stars in the scene. Just imagine what he'll do in 2021.

Sometimes it takes a downturn to take full advantage of your talents.  When his job in the oil fields went south he sold a rifle, bought a PA, and the rest is history. 2020 was supposed to be Heath's year (anyone else?), but he's not the type to complain.  It's in his nature to find a way. 2021 it is.

In music, Evolution is less a natural progression and more an earnest commitment to change.  Austin's self described "work in progress" sound (rock, country, Texas, who knows) feels like a window into an artist's narrative. His laser sharp focus on lyricism and evoking emotion leaves you wondering, "If this is now, what's next?". Earlier this year Austin began releasing tracks from his upcoming LP...
