20 WEST

20 West is a Texas Country band based in Fort Worth, Tx, and was founded by Shawn Fitzgerald and Pete Franco. Within the first week together, they had their first song and first single, Bringing Me Back Home written and recorded. A second song, Just Go Away, was written a day later and also recorded. Then, after seeing what they had created, they decided to form the band itself in 2022.

The name 20 West was decided upon after singer Shawn was driving home from seeing good friend Rachel Stacy play at the White Elephant one night. He lived at the time off of I-20 West. He immediately texted Pete that he found the right name for the band. And so it began.

Next, Greg Kramer was added on drums, and Dale Sprankle was added on bass. The band then started back recording at Tonal Recording Studios with veteran producer Cris Hunter Marshall where the first batch of songs were also recorded.

The band released their second single, Baby Go Crazy worldwide on July 22nd. It spent two weeks on the CDTEX top ten most downloaded songs and is still doing well.

The next, and last batch of songs to round out the upcoming EP Bringing Me Back Home were recorded in January for a June 2nd release.

If you don’t, people are going to hear it too’.” Truth is, Shim’s blood courses through every song he’s ever written and recorded. Millions of fans worldwide connected to his songwriting, spirit, and soul across four full-length albums from the RIAA platinum-certified Sick Puppies—which he founded in 1997.

Gina Powers is a versatile and captivating singer/songwriter and recording artist with a unique blend of Americana, country, pop/rock, and soul. Her powerful vocals and dynamic stage presence have captivated audiences of all ages and musical tastes.

Powers has been singing and playing guitar since she was a child, and her musical influences range from Patsy Cline and Dolly Parton to Bonnie Raitt and Stevie Nicks.

In 2022, Powers released two singles, “Till I Get Through the Night” and “Mississippi’s Burning,” both written by award-winning songwriter Jerry Foster. “Not Anymore” was released in early 2023 followed by two original songs: “All I Ever Wanted” and “Extra Ordinary Life.”

In addition to her solo career, Powers is also the lead singer of The Gina Powers Band, a powerhouse country-rock band that has been playing together since 2015. The band has been featured in several publications and the Prairie Musicianstelevision series.

LAN LAW

Lan Law is a country duo comprised of brothers Lance Curtis and Lawson Wayne. Hailing from Batesville, Arkansas, the siblings split their time between home and Music City and can most often be found on the road playing stages across the southeast. The name LAN LAW comes from a combination of the first three letters of the brother's first names.

Growing up in a musical family, Lance and Lawson showed musical inclination around the same time they learned to walk and talk. They both play music by ear. By age 9, Lance was proficient in guitar and piano and Lawson was not far behind in keeping up with his big brother. They are 4 years apart in age. Lawson loved to sing at church but wanted to be in the background until age 13 when he began playing music more seriously with his brother.

Lance wrote his first song at 14. He has a true country soul which is reflected in the songs he writes and the way he performs. Because he was raised on classic country music, he takes that and adds to it the perfect blend of modern edge flair to create LAN LAW's unique sound. He notes Cody Johnson, Tim McGraw, Brad Paisley, William Michael Morgan, Jon Pardi, and Luke Combs as his biggest musical influences. By age 19, Lance was working with record producer Kent Wells (Dolly Parton) and recorded his first solo album, about the time Lawson was beginning to write songs and was getting more comfortable in the limelight.

After three years of wearing the hat of full-time drummer and backup vocalist for his big brother, Lawson joined the band. As they say, the rest is history. A duo was formed and LAN LAW was born - highlighting the sibling's rich heritage, southern rock vocals, and blood harmony.

Then, the boys began writing together. It was natural as close as they are and sharing the same musical influences. Shortly after, they were booked for a tour with the largest Taco festival group in the U.S. They opened for FOZZY at the TIAA Bank Field in Jacksonville, FL. and were later opening shows for Collin Raye, Gene Watson, Barrett Baber, and Craig Campbell.

In 2023, LAN LAW won the European-based International Red Carpet Awards' Duo of the Year and they are nominated for 6 more awards this year. They also received 4 nominations for The 2024 Josie Music Awards which will be held at the Grand Ole Opry House on October 27th.

Lance 23, and Lawson, 19, used the pandemic to hone their craft focusing on their writing and recording as a duo and it has paid off. Since then, LAN LAW has released their debut and sophomore singles, "Back In Town" and "Hillbilly Legal." They also released their first official music video for "Hillbilly Legal" that continues to gain support on video outlets across the nation.

On this episode of Roger the Wild Child Show: Nashville edition, we are joined by musician, Jason Null of Saving Abel!

JASON NULL

Jason Null and David Brazil grew up minutes down the road from another, both independently practicing and playing music in the same towns and clubs. Null an established songwriter, guitarist and founding member of platinum selling artist Saving Abel, met Brazil at one of his concerts in 2014 backstage. The two immediately became fast friends discovering their hometown proximity, love of creating music and guitars.

Soon after this chance meeting Null was introduced to Brazil’s guitar work and they began discussing a path for David. After several months of discussion, Null introduced Brazil to then band manager, Jeff Hanson of Creed, Sevendust, Paramore fame. The 3 began discussions and soon after Brazil released a record titled “Who the Hell is David Brazil” featuring members of Creed, Fuel, Evanescence and produced by Brett Hestla formerly of Dark New Day. The studio record led to Brazil touring and charting in top 100 rock charts with his 1st single, “Steal My Thunder”.

All of this took place while Null continued to tour with Saving Abel and work on the bands forthcoming studio release. See savingabel.com for full bio.

Null and Brazil began discussing the music world and hopes and dreams all the while building a friendship of that of childhood friends.

Brazil expressed his admiration for Null’s ability to construct songs “out of thin air” and complement him on his “backwoods voice,” often asking Null, “if he ever wrote any country music.” Brazil recalls “Null would always say, “everything I do is country, I am a country boy.” Null would add, “I don’t worry about what it sounds like while writing, I sculpt and mold the sound while in the studio.”

Null and Brazil would continue to collaborate during these times and began writing music that they both found themselves humming throughout the day leading to a demo with Nulls longtime producer, Grammy winner Skidd Mills!

The demo, even though it had great reviews among the two’s peers laid dormant until 2020 when they partnered in a home studio and began demoing everything written. This led to the revitalization of South of Shiloh. Pairing up with Skidd Mills once again to reenter the studio.

In 2021 the duo completed a 10 song record and in 2022 released their first music video for their throwback hit, “After Grandpa and Grandma Are Gone.”

On this episode of Roger the Wild Child Show: Nashville edition, we are joined by musician Rick Monroe and singer/songwriter, Matt Oakley!

RICK MONROE

World-class entertainer Rick Monroe brings his music and a magnetic

presence wherever he goes. With adown-to-earth Country resonance, Monroe

is no stranger to the stage: he’s performed in 17 countries–and every U.S.

state including Washington DC & Puerto Rico. The seven-time Jägermeister

Country Brand Ambassador has toured with Eric Church, Dierks Bentley, Lee

Bice, Aaron Lewis, Eli Young Band, Pat Green & Randy Houser as well as has

opened for Country Music Legends like Charlie Daniels Band, Dwight Yoakam,

Travis Tritt, Patty Loveless and more; entertained for the USO, AFE, U.S. troops

in Vietnam and the former Soviet President Mikhail Gorbachev. His brother

called him “Elvis Gump” because of all the amazing people and places his

career has led him.

Show-goers can expect to hear some of Rick’s new material as well as hit

singles like the sultry “This Side of You,” and the Southern rocker “Cocaine

Cold & Whiskey Shakes.” As well as several Top 40 hits from the IT’S A LOVE

THING, GYPSY SOUL EPs & Full Albums SMOKE OUT THE WINDOW & AGAINST

THE GRAIN.

For those who aren’t familiar with his music, Rick advises them to come to the

show for a good time and to be ready for “just about anything.” “I love to play,”

the singer notes. “And I want everyone to play along. I like to think of my

shows as an interactive sport.”

Rick enjoys sponsorships and/or endorsements with Monster Energy Drink,

GHS Strings, SE electronics, Roper Western Wear, Shubb Capos, Speakeasy

Original, Westone Audio & Fishman Audio.

Rick grew up in a variety of places–California, Connecticut, Kansas, North

Carolina, even England, and his love of music and outgoing personality

naturally drew him to the stage. Now based in Nashville, Monroe believes

GYPSY SOUL shows the kind of diversity he can offer as an artist. He says,

“I’m not so linear in my approach to music; I’m more diversified. My influences

range from A to Z and I always try to put that into my music. But my home

base will always be Country because it’s not just about the hype of an idea; it’s

based on songs.” Fans can expect to hear a wide range of material–but Rick

promises that it will all be quality. If his chart success is any indication, it’s

clear Monroe knows what folks want to hear–and he’s eager to give them

exactly that.

MATT OAKLEY

Matt Oakley is diving in with the ultimate summertime love song, “Single This Summer,” releasing on June 28. Neon nights and shots in the moonlight, “Single This Summer” delivers clever messaging of "trying to keep her from being ‘single this summer’."

“We wanted the tempo and energy to match the storyline and feel like a summer song, not some slow love song,”

Oakley states about the song that’ll have you carefree in the summer heat.

Matt Oakley's first song written with Nashville songwriters including GRAMMY Award winning songwriter David Ray Stevens, “Single This Summer” ushers in good vibes in summertime. Oakley sings, "we were two flames burning, red wine and bourbon, leaning on each other for a little southern comfort."

"Single This Summer" will be available on all streaming platforms June 28, one week after his appearance on Tampa Bay's Morning Blend on June 21. For more on Matt Oakley, follow him on Instagram @mattoakelymusic and TikTok @mattoakley.music.

DAWSON STEAGALL

Born in 2002 in Rockbed, TN, just outside of Murfreesboro, Dawson Steagall is a true embodiment of Southern roots and country living. As an only child, he found solace and joy in his big family's outdoor traditions, from fishing and mudding to embracing the beauty of nature.

Raised in the last batch of kids who grew up playing outside, Dawson's formative years were filled with the simple pleasures of basketball in the driveway, tackle football in the grass, and wild nights of throwing pool balls in the dark with his close friends.

Growing up surrounded by the sounds of classic country legends like George Jones, Keith Whitley, Merle Haggard, and Waylon Jennings, as well as the vibes of classic rock from the Eagles and Journey, Dawson's musical influences reflect the diverse soundtrack of his upbringing. While he still appreciates R&B and Pop, his heart roots back to the soulful melodies of country.

Hailing from a simple country area, not too rural but far from packed, Dawson's love for country music has been a lifelong passion driven not by the pursuit of fame but by a genuine desire to make a living doing what he loves. He began singing at the tender age of three, often caught in his diaper singing along to Waylon on the radio.

In 2019, at the age of 17, Dawson signed a deal, marking a significant milestone in his budding career.

In the fall of 2022, “An American Hero” was up for consideration for the GRAMMY ballot along with his most recent single “What Are You Waiting For?”

On this episode of Roger the Wild Child Show: Nashville edition, we are joined by singer/songwriter’s Amanda Kate and Riley Braker!

AMANDA KATE

Born in a no-stop-light-town in Red River, NM, Amanda Kate Ferris grew up equally inspired by her small-town upbringing and her mother, Kathy Wright, an artist and entertainer herself. As one of the original “Dean Martin Golddiggers” on the 1960’s TV show, 18-year-old Kathy often collaborated with The Rat Pack's crooners, embracing the era's glamour. The apple didn’t fall far from the tree, and young Amanda was singing as early as two years old. Inspired by her mother’s tales of performing on the stage and screen, she developed her own voice in the church. Amanda added songwriting to her repertoire at age 14, looking again to follow in her mother’s footsteps as a full-time musician and artist. During her mother’s long sets at Honky Tonks between California, New Mexico, and Texas, Amanda fell in love with the music of The Judds, Trisha Yearwood, Faith Hill, Leanne Womack, and Brooks & Dunn, all of which heavily influenced her current sound.

Her love of Country music led her to chase her dreams in Nashville. Over the next few years, she went through multiple groups, opportunities, and countless hours spent on her craft in Music City. On the brink of letting these long sought-after dreams go, Amanda decided that she needed a change of pace and settled in with her family. After she and her husband welcomed their first child, Amanda was back on stage, this time performing Carrie Underwood songs in a national touring cover band, Blown Away. Their incredible renditions of Underwood’s hits led to an unsolicited and highly coveted spot on Executive Producer Jimmy Fallon’s new show for E!, “Clash of the Cover Bands.” Through Underwood’s iconic songs, Amanda was able to fulfill her love of entertaining and singing, but she felt a calling to again create her own original music.

The show was a full circle moment for Ferris, appearing on the same network that gave her mother her start over 50 years ago. Off-screen, this allowed Amanda the opportunity to highlight her new original music, simultaneously releasing her self-titled EP to rave reviews, including editorial placement on Spotify’s Texas Country Now, the largest Red Dirt Playlist. In early 2022, Ferris’ love for traditional Country sparked the interest of renowned producer Jimmy Ritchey (Clay Walker, Mark Chesnutt), with whom she recorded five new tracks reminiscent of the traditional country stylings of Ferris’ favorites from the 90s. Look out this fall for “Baby Don’t,” Ferris’ debut on Texas radio. “Baby Don’t” honors her Texas Country roots and showcases her captivating vocals. This lead single will be followed by an EP in early 2023 to reflect upon her western influences and love of Country music history. A cowgirl at heart, she spends any free time riding her horses with her family at Rockin R Ranch in Palmer, TX. On the road, Amanda has graced the stage with such acts as Tracey Lawrence, Bailey Zimmerman, Deana Carter, Warren Zeiders, Chase Rice, Priscilla Block, Casey Donahew, Josh Abbott Band, and more.

RILEY BRAKER

Riley is a gifted singer-songwriter, with a voice tailor made to tell her heartfelt stories of life as a young adult. She crafts her tales of love, woe, and regret, and infuses her characters with so much life, the listener feels as if they are experiencing the events first handy

On this episode of Roger the Wild Child Show: Nashville edition, we are joined by singer/songwriter, Kayla McKinney!!

KAYLA MCKINNEY

How did Kayla McKinney begin to sing? Well, if you had been in Buncombe County on a Sunday morning in the 1990s, you would have heard that little girl’s voice floating down the mountainside from the McKinney home. Ray, a corrections officer, and Nora, a homemaker, hosted a Bible study group full of friends, neighbors, and the couple’s seven children. Their homemade church always included hymns of praise. By three years old, their youngest daughter Kayla was doing her rendition of “The Sun’s Coming Up In The Morning”. Kayla says, “I could barely talk, but I was already starting to get an ear for the flow of the song, the melody of the song.” Those believers in her parents’ living room got her started in music, and in faith. “I am definitely a believer,” Kayla says. “I believe that God works. I believe in Jesus.”

There were hymns in the family home, and there was Dolly Parton, and Patsy Cline, and Carrie Underwood. Cline’s “Crazy” was an early influence, and Underwood’s “Jesus Take The Wheel” helped to set Kayla on the long road of country music. “I won so many karaoke contests with just that song! I idolized her so much after that.”

Where do you go, when you’re sixteen years old and the music is busting out of you? You go to every mountain dive bar and honky-tonk with a country karaoke night, where they don’t look at your ID too close because they know you, and they know that a good Christian girl doesn’t drink, and because they can see how much you love that little stage. Soon, Kayla was making her first money when she was paid to lead off karaoke parties.

Today you can find her music at kaylamckinneycountry.com, including her best-selling single, “These Two Barstools”. And you can find Kayla herself on the bus and on the stage all around the Tarheel State, enchanting her growing crowds. The songs kept calling to her, and she had to answer. Kayla says, “I just think that I never got to see the world. My family has never got to see the world. Through me, in many ways, I want to achieve things that they never got to achieve. As a single mom, I will be the only one who got to graduate from college. Music is the one thing that I am good at. That is the one thing where I can accomplish something. At the end of my life, I can say, ‘I did this’.”

On this episode of Roger the Wild Child Show: Nashville edition, we are joined by musician Kimo Forrest (Alabama/ John Michael Montgomery/ Cash Creek) and Nashville recording artist, Trent Prewitt!

KIMO FORREST

Kimo Forrest has been called "Nashville's Best Kept Secret" for far too long. A career that began in a small wine country town in Northern California at the age of 12, has led him to all 50 states, Canada, and Europe. He's performed with highly acclaimed artists across several genres, recorded in some of the finest studios in the world, had a song on a hit television series, and met the President of the United States three times! After decades as a professional touring and session musician, there are not many things he hasn't seen or done. Yet, since most of his work has been in a support role, all of this has been achieved with little or no recognition. The time has come for the world to know this amazing talent. Kimo's debut solo project is a reflection of his dedication to his craft, as well as his devotion to his faith. An accomplished multi-instrumentalist and vocalist, every sound you hear on this project is performed by Kimo. He also handled production and engineering duties. Lyrically, Kimo's songs draw heavily from his journey to Christianity, while musically leaning on heavy guitars and tight arrangements. Though his path has led him to play almost every style of music from progressive rock and r&b, to reggae and country, his original material has a clearly defined, focused sound, thanks to his production skills. Though Kimo is just beginning to pursue a solo career, the list of artists that have used his talent is long and extensive. A quick glance through his credits provides an insight to the high level he has worked at for years. One listen to Kimo's music and we believe you will agree..... It is time to let the secret out.

TRENT PREWITT

Trent discovered his passion for music at his first guitar lesson, and hasn’t stopped. Although still in his early 20’s, his love for the more traditional sounds are evident in his music, while still bringing his youthful energy to the forefront of all of his performances and recordings

On this episode of Roger the Wild Child Show: Nashville edition, we are joined by county-gospel singer/songwriter Cynthia Rausch!

CYNTHIA RAUSCH

Her parents met in a band in her dad’s home state of Texas. They fell in love and got married then continued to travel and perform together for several years after, before settling down in Dallas Texas and starting a family.

Cynthia's dad ended up joining the Navy right before Cynthia was born and served faithfully while his family moved from location to location in true military family style. Cynthia still remembers many trips to Wichita Falls to visit her MawMaw during that time.

After her dad left the military, her parents picked up their instruments again and started using their gifts in the local church where their family attended. Cynthia's parents continued adding to the family and eventually there were 8 children in all, with Cynthia being 3rd oldest.

At age 14 Cynthia went through a very dark time with her mental health and general overall health. She began struggling with addiction and suicidal tendencies and overdosed at the age of 15, but by the grace of God, she survived. Cynthia is unafraid to share her story of what God did that September night, in hopes of encouraging anyone else with depression and thoughts of suicide. "It is never the answer. You are just ridding the world of the joy of knowing the unique person God made you to be." Says Cynthia. "Please reach out to someone, getting help isn't weakness, it is the strongest and bravest thing you could ever do. And please don't fall for the lie that you aren't loved and valuable. You are. God loves you and so do I."

After that night, she found a sudden desire to start learning guitar and singing. Almost immediately after she started playing and singing, she started writing music and pretty soon she was writing the music for her developing family band.

Cynthia realized that playing music helped with her mental health and started advocating through her music for others struggling in the same way. Helping others struggling with depression and anxiety had become a focal point of her music. And she continues to focus on that to this day.

Around that same time, her siblings started learning to play instruments too, and pretty soon the whole family began to travel and play music for churches, city events and fairs. They traveled from Missouri to Texas and everywhere in between. During this time Cynthia’s gospel roots took on a more country flare and she embraced it.

After meeting her husband in 2010 and starting a family of her own, her family band disbanded, but Cynthia fondly recalls the many memories and joys of traveling with her family band. And she cherishes the lessons and values instilled in her life because of them.

With her 5th single "Abracadabra" currently out to radio, following her successful top 20 single "What The Whiskey Gave You", Cynthia is taking on the country music scene with joyful gusto. Her love of people and the power of music gives her a drive to bring hope to every listener and show them how much God loves them.

Cynthia has shared the stage with several amazing well-known names, including Logan Mize, 90's band Ricochet, Matt Stell, Jerrod Nieman and was nominated as "New Female Vocalist of the Year" in 2022 with the T3R awards. Even though she wasn't a finalist, she was honored to even be considered at all by her fans. She also had the honor of performing at the Sunday night "Future Faces Show" at Texas LIVE in Arlington, Tx prior to the Texas Regional Radio Awards show 2022.

On this episode we are joined by singer/songwriter Carlyle Griffin!

CARLYLE GRIFFIN

Rising soulful artist Carlyle Griffin shares some of her personal feelings on navigating love and life in her latest single Say So. It is now available on all streaming platforms including Spotify, Apple Music, and more.

With two successful singles under her belt and a determination to create authentic music, Carlyle Griffin is establishing herself as one to watch in Music City. Her new single, Say So, journeys to answer the question, “What am I supposed to be doing with my life right now?” The writing process came naturally after the first few lines came to her while on vacation. “I was trying to determine what to do about my career, coming out of a short relationship that left me with a lot more questions than answers, and feeling really overwhelmed by the weight of all the responsibilities I’d garnered over the previous year,” Carlyle shares. “It was a way to try and take all of that off my shoulders and turn it into something that excited me rather than worried me.”

Produced by Joel Jorgensen, Say So is a perfectly stylistic tune that displays her musicality and diverse vocals. Getting the groove right is an important part of the process for her and her goal is for the listeners to feel good and be comforted knowing they aren’t the only ones who’ve felt this way before. “I want my fans to connect to the song in all aspects.” With Carlyle’s strong, lyrical vocals in the forefront and embellished horns that hit during the most powerful moments, she showcases her talent, proving that she is making her own way with a beautiful blend of genres and styles that transcends.

About Carlyle Griffin: The soulful ingenuity of Nashville-based singer/songwriter Carlyle Griffin can be partially attributed to her upbringing and music exposure from an early age. Growing up on the Carolina coast, Carlyle was introduced to many different genres of music - the sounds of Motown, the emotional lyrics of 70's folk rock, the dramatics of Broadway soundtracks - all of which bleed into her personal creations today.

As she continued to delve into her own sound, she was led to land in the bustling Music City. Shortly after moving to Nashville in the Fall of 2021, Carlyle released her first single Symptomatic Daydream, a wistful tune about all the things you wish you could say but just can't seem to. The song was premiered on Raised Rowdy and won 2022’s Folk/Americana Single of The Year at the Josie Music Awards. Her sophomore release, Crash Down on Me, premiered on RadioSobro and showcased her "stop-you-in-your-tracks" soulful voice. With the release of Say So, Carlyle is continuing to pave her own unique path for creativity and form a connection with listeners through her thoughtful lyrics and exceptional musicality.

On this episode of Roger The Wild Child Show: Nashville, we are joined by country music singer/songwriter Justin Biltonen (bassist for 3 Doors Down)!

JUSTIN BILTONEN

Justin Biltonen is a Country Artist and Singer Songwriter from Arden,

North Carolina. Growing up in the heyday of classic 90’s Country sparked

his passion for music. Like many artists, he started playing guitar and

singing in church worship groups in high school, however in 2004, fired by

rebellious excitement, he began touring the country playing southern fried

Rock n’ Roll. During those late night van drives, that wandered endlessly

down lonesome highways, he reignited his passion for Country music. It

was bands like Drive By Truckers, Waylon and Shooter Jennings, Brooks

and Dunn, Shenandoah and countless other Country artists (all conjured

from the soundtrack of his youth), that kept him company on those long

drives. It was also during this time Justin began frequent trips to Nashville,

Tennessee and fell in love with the music and positive atmosphere within

the city’s music community. Learning the ways of Nashville songwriting

began an inspiring journey into the professional music world. In 2013

Justin made the move to Nashville and joined the band 3 Doors Down as

the bands bass player and began touring the world in support of

numerous chart topping albums. The band’s latest release titled “Us And

The Night”, which peaked at #2 on the Billboard Rock Charts, was the first

major release Justin wrote and performed on.

In 2018 encouraged by friends, family and fellow songwriters, Justin

debuted two songs under his own name. The first two songs “Use You”

and “How A Man’s Made” mark a brave chapter in Justin’s musical

journey. Driven by a creative calling to make music, Justin quickly

released a follow up single in October of the same year. His third single

titled “She’s Got The Highway” was released on digital platforms and for

the first time, several terrestrial radio markets.

With two more singles set to be released, numerous live appearances at

Broadway honky-tonks and beyond and a rapidly growing fanbase, 2019

is shaping up to be a breakout year for the young Country artist.

MICHAEL SHAPIRO

Shapiro began playing trumpet in grade school, followed in later years by piano, guitar, and vocals. Fronting cover bands in Las Vegas as a teenager and early twenties, he naturally began writing and recording. Releasing his first album in 1995 with his band Trip and three albums to follow. Trip toured with VH-1’s Rock Across America Tour opening for Duncan Sheik, Romantics, Edwin McCain, and Cheap Trick. In 2003, Trip toured with Great White and on their 21st show in Rhode Island, the tour was brought to an abrupt and tragic end with the West Warwick Station Nightclub Fire. In 2005, after a two year hiatus, Shapiro recorded his first solo album, taking five of the twelve songs and released an EP entitled “Everything”. The single “Hope” received strong radio air-play across the US, thus landing him on a sold out national tour with the band Live. He relocated to San Rafael in 2006 in search of the perfect-fit rhythm section and formed Reckless In Vegas. Michael and RIV have released two albums of original music and their latest release, “The Hard Way” features all re-makes. Shapiro is currently back in Las Vegas rockin’ Reckless In Vegas style!

LIZZIE CATES

Having grown up in what is known as the “biggest little city”, Reno, Nevada, Lizzie Cates knew there was a bigger calling for her, bigger than her small hometown could fulfill. At the early age of 5 it's completely normal for kids to have vast imaginations and dreams. However, for Cates the idea of crafting her own fairy tales, love stories, and nursery rhymes came naturally, comfortably, and effortlessly. By 13 years old Cates' personality began to form. Realizing her love for the arts, both in music and writing, she began challenging herself to write, sing, and play instruments. At 13 years old, she had taught herself how to play both guitar and piano while her writing skills began to blossom and her ability to sing matured.

In 2017 Lizzie debuted her first major single, "Strangers" which received an ISSA Award. It was then she knew music was more than a hobby and it was a dream she must chase. Later that year, packing her entire life in two suitcases with her guitar in hand Lizzie jumped on a one way flight and moved across the United States to Nashville, Tennessee to focus on building her dream to be a full time artist. Shortly after arriving, she quickly got to work and began writing with notable writers in both country and pop music and started performing at iconic venues across Music City such as The Bluebird Cafe.

Her 2020 single “I Like the Way” debuted at #1 on the iTunes country charts in the UK and still to this day is holding strong on their country radio stations. With recent success, Cates co-wrote the TikTok hit “How Do We Go” with Alexandra Kay who will be touring with Tim McGraw this summer.

Currently Lizzie is working on lots of her own new music and plans to release 3 new major singles this year with music videos as well as 2 early 2000's cover songs. Cates is excited to give her fans a new wave of energy and sounds as she continues revealing more of her fascinating fairy tales throughout the year. Her newest cover, "Thunder" by Boys Like Girls is out now! Along with her brand new single "King of Hearts".

CHRISTIAN LOVE

Christian Love is the son of Mike Love, co-founder and lead singer of Legendary 60’s band The Beach Boys. He grew up in Santa Barbara, California, where kicking field goals and practicing archery in his back yard soon turned into surfing and girls. He grew up going to his dads shows, watching MTV and listening to bands like The Police, The Smiths, INXS, U2 & Men At Work. That’s what started his true love of music.

On this episode of Roger The Wild Child Show: Hollyweird we are joined by electro metal duo.... The B.A. Sisters!

THE B.A. SISTERS

Influenced by the sound of the 80’s, The B.A. Sisters (Sabrina Love and Melissa Evila) are a hard hitting electro metal duo, fusing styles of heavy metal and classic electronic music.

Growing up in the eighties in Manhattan as part of a musical family, the two sisters were immersed in the Punk and New Wave cultures of the New York scene. After a few years the family moved to Buenos Aires, Argentina, where their parents started a band called “Down Town B.A.” Hearing their parents play and seeing them record in the studio helped guide the sisters artistic careers, and their band name.

Both sisters gravitated towards music, picking up instruments at an early age and forming bands with other musicians. Melissa and Sabrina began playing together in a punk rock band, writing songs and playing local underground parties. As life happens the two started to pursue different artistic avenues, with Melissa continuing to play music, while Sabrina headed towards theatre and independent films.

Melissa developed into a multi-instrumentalist, having learned piano, drums, bass, and guitar. She also studied performance at the Berklee College of Music in Argentina, where she perfected her musicianship. Through the years Melissa played in countless metal and rock bands, and has performed all over South America in multiple capacities as a musician.

Sabrina, pursuing the actress route, spent four years studying at the National University of Drama, where she refined and developed her acting and performance skills. While attending school she was featured in numerous theatre shows and TV programs, garnering an affinity for live performance.

Melissa had spent a few years learning the ins and outs of music production and synthesis, and recognized that Sabrina’s vocals would be the perfect compliment to her productions. So both sisters, after years of relentless dedication to perfecting their crafts, decided to pick up where they left off and start writing music again. Enter The B.A. Sisters.

On this episode of Roger The Wild Child Show: Nashville, we are joined by singer/songwriter David Gideon and country music artist, Andrea Vasquez! Also, Callum Kerr returns as we discuss the weekly recap of Fox’s new hit series, Monarch!

DAVID GIDEON

David Gideon is the kind of larger-than-life character you'd read about in a Jack Kerouac novel: adventure seeking, well traveled, and a little bit wild, with stories to tell and songs to sing.

He mixes autobiography, tall tales, and old-school country twang on Lonesome Desert Strum. Recorded in Nashville and largely written in the American southwest, it's an album that establishes Gideon as one of the genre's unsung heroes. There are honky-tonk barn burners, campfire ballads, southern slow dances, and rootsy rave-ups, all glued together by a frontman who's every bit as colorful as the songs he writes.

Born to artistic parents, Gideon grew up on the move, bouncing between Austin, Key West, and rural Tennessee during his early years. He spent his summers on the Farm — an infamous hippie commune, located more than an hour's drive from Nashville — where he was given his first access to a drum set. Originally trained in jazz and worldbeat percussion, he broadened his skillset to include guitar and songwriting, too. He eventually headed west, where he performed hundreds of shows, worked as a DJ in clubs, logged multiple years as a ranch hand in Northern California, and eventually settled in Billy the Kid's hometown — the rugged, remote town of Silver City, New Mexico — where he wrote many of the songs that would later fill Lonesome Desert Strum.

ANDREA VASQUEZ

Powerhouse vocals and unstoppable attitude combine in the petite package that is Andrea Vasquez. The California native has blended her love of modern country and Latin-American roots to create a refreshing sound within the genre. Inspired by the likes of Carrie Underwood, Shania Twain, and The Chicks, Andrea has been crafting her unique sound since she was little. Born in L.A. to an extremely musical family, she started playing violin, piano and guitar at a young age which inspired her to also begin writing her own songs. A move back to California would become the catalyst to pursuing music. After finishing school, Andrea packed up for Nashville to realize her dream of a career in country music. In Nashville, she released her first single Sugar Coat It which surpassed 113k streams on Spotify and took Andrea on her first radio tour. From there, Andrea released serval other singles including Runnin’ Wild, Bed You Made, Used To and Made Me Cry, which achieved major success on curated Spotify and Apple Music playlists, received praise from CMT by adding her music videos to their online playlist rotation and received praise from critically-acclaimed outlets including The Morning Hangover. With her undeniable stage presence and songs that match mainstream major quality, Andrea is establishing herself within country music as one to watch.

On this episode of Roger The Wild Child Show: Hollyweird we are joined my two time Grammy winning music publisher, Tony Mercedes!

TONY MERCEDES

It was never a secret that Atlanta-based music mogul Tony Mercedes would be at the forefront of the music industry one day. It may have been a shock to those radio and music executives who turned down Mercedes’ first song: “Dazzey Dukes” which became the club dance anthem all across the nation in 1992 and generated sales exceeding five million records sold. He was assured early on that year that his debut single “ Dazzey Dukes” would never even leave the State of Florida where he had previously attended the “Jack the Rapper” convention. Not taking “No” for an answer, Mercedes launched his own independent record label out of his hometown Augusta, Georgia. With $2,300.00 Mercedes embarked on what others thought was insane as an amateur to the music industry. That persistence and determination led Mercedes to the top of the music industry and “Dazzey Dukes” to the top of the Billboard charts- making it one of many of Mercedes longest charting records in Billboard history (56 consecutive weeks). Ever since then Mercedes has made unforgettable footprints in this business we call music. Now as President and CEO of Tony Mercedes Music he has risen to the occasion as a creative genius. His ears have been golden in picking number one hit after hits. With songs like TLC’s No Scrubs, and Tag Team’s five time platinum release “ Whomp There It Is”, and 12- Gauges one time platinum release “ Donkey Butt”.

Tony Mercedes added a new meaning to being a Baby’s Daddy when he took B- Rock and the Biz explosively to the top of the Billboard charts with a comedic record titled “My Baby’s Daddy.” If that wasn’t enough Mercedes changed the course of bass history when he released a bass remake of Shirley Murdock’s song “ As We Lay” within three weeks after its release it received almost 2,000 spins a week at radio.

When it was time for LaFace Records most selling female group of all time TLC to release their third album after a five year absence – it was Mercedes who came in like a thief in the night finding TLC’s first single. “No Scrubs” written by Tiny & Kandi of the recording group Escape. “No Scrubs” rocketed straight to platinum, success. Mercedes A&R skills are responsible for TLC having this song, which is the most BDS detected record in the history of music (how is that for the Mercedes touch).” No Scrubs” was found with a then unknown producer Shekspere. Proving that he was no scrub. Tony Mercedes ended up having the number one pop song in the country. During yet another exciting time in his career, Mercedes also had the number one rap song and the same time with JT Money’s catchy “ Who Dat” song released through Priority Records. Lets not forget his success on Pressha’s Platinum R&B Record, “Splackavellie” which was featured on Ice Cubes “Player Club” soundtrack. According to the May 8th issue of Billboard Magazine, Mercedes had the number on pop song, “No Scrubs”, the number one rap song “Who Dat” and the number one R&B song “No Scrubs” all in the same week on Billboard charts! Fast forward to 2018 the impact of the Tony Mercedes imprint can still be heard by his involvement as music publisher of Grammy Award Winning song “ Shape of You” by music superstar Ed Sheeran. Tony Mercedes has worked with so many great artist such as Usher, Babyface, Ceelo Green, Regina Belle, Miki Howard, Aaron Hall just to name a few. Tony Mercedes also recently managed the career of film and comedy superstar Tiffany Haddish.

On this episode of Roger The Wild Child Show: Nashville, we are joined by singer/songwriter Ken Valdez and country music artist, Brei Carter! Also, Callum Kerr returns as we discuss the weekly recap of Fox’s new hit series, Monarch!

KEN VALDEZ

Ken Valdez returns with a fire breathing rock record entitled Saints And Sinners, named after a former rough and tumble roadhouse in northern New Mexico where Valdez was born and raised. While this guitarist, singer, songwriter and producer fuses elements of blues, rock, funk and Latin music to create a sound all his own, he kicked things up a notch this time out. Valdez has stated the record is “…deep and personal but a fun and wild ride”. While Saints And Sinners covers new territory across an already broad but expanding musical landscape, the sound is unmistakably, undeniably Ken Valdez. Being no stranger to the road, Valdez is back on tour including dates with the iconic ZZ Top and prestigious festivals like the Bayfront Blues Festival to name a few. There is no question, Ken Valdez is back! The outlaw rides again!

BREI CARTER

Emerging crossover country and southern pop recording artist Brei Carter is proof that sometimes faith, patience and time pays off. Growing up in Monroe, Louisiana with a solid, southern upbringing, Brei’s family raised her on several authentic southern staples: the Bible, Lone Star Missionary Baptist Church’s choir, Charley Pride, Loretta Lynn, Aretha Franklin, and no shortage of familial love and devotion. However, before she became the dynamic and vivacious country singer she is today, Brei was busy earning a Bachelors in Business from University of Louisiana in Monroe, a Masters in International Relations from Webster University, and a Doctorate in Theology from New Foundation Theological Seminary. She is also a proud Veteran of the U.S. Army, where she served as an enlisted soldier and as an officer. Having moved to Nashville soon thereafter, Brei has quickly established herself in the songwriters community as a smooth and sometimes edgy songstress who melds country, soul and southern pop into one fused style. Her first single at country radio “Gave Him A Girl” was immediately recognized as “cute and catchy” by country music journalist and historian Robert K. Oermann in his weekly DISClaimer review column for Music Row Magazine, where it eventually charted up to #71. With a growing catalog of new music, including her debut album 'Brand New Country,' slated for a September 16 release, this young singer-songwriter is a welcome addition to the emerging new styles of the country music community.

On this episode of Roger the Wild Child Show: Nashville, we are joined by actor, Callum Kerr, of the new series on Fox "Monarch" and Nashville recording artist, KC Johns!

CALLUM KERR

Callum Kerr is an actor/musician originally from Edinburgh, Scotland. After moving to Texas at 17, Callum has been splitting his time between Austin and London until recently, when he moved to Nashville. You can see Callum in the upcoming country music series Monarch (Fox), where he’ll play country music singer Wade Stellings. Callum is also currently working on releasing music here in Nashville.

KC JOHNS

With powerhouse pipes that take you on a whiskey-soaked jaunt to your favorite honky-tonk in the absolute best way possible, KC Johns’ music is as infectious and dynamic as she is. Think Miranda Lambert meets Sheryl Crow with a touch of Brandi Carlisle, and you’ve got an artist with a voice all her own, tied tight around songs that make you feel like you’ve known her forever.

With deep roots in the Blues capital of the world, KC grew up in Memphis, where she was baptized in soul and fell hard for the stage, the spotlight, and songs that make the world go ’round.

Having discovered her stage legs young, KC jumped feet-first into this business called music, performing everywhere from Dollywood, where she was featured in Dolly Parton’s “Christmas Coat of Many Colors,” to cruise ships around the world. After performing in ports throughout the Atlantic, the Caribbean, and everywhere in between, she made her way up the mainstream music ladder, opening for artists like Luke Bryan, Chris Young, Randy Houser, and Trailer Choir.

2022 was the continuation of her page-turner of a story, starting with the January release of a new single and video, “Confused,” co-written with Timme Angsten and Tim Baumgartner and produced by GRAMMY-nominated producer and songwriter Billy Smiley (WhiteHeart, Johnny Cash, and Petra). “Confused” follows her popular 2021 single release, “Whiskey Break,” which was featured in a nationally distributed documentary about the legendary venue, the Gorge, where nearly every major touring artist has played for the last 50 years. “Confused” made its way on to radio playlists in a growing list of markets across the country, cracked Nashville’s Music Row charts and climbed well over 100 spots up the respected rungs of the influential industry ranking.

2022 has already seen the digital release of KC’s 2021 full album, Thunder, recorded at the legendary Sound Kitchen in Franklin, Tennessee. The digital release features three songs previously released only on the vinyl version of Thunder plus KC’s brand-new recording of “Desperado,” best known for being recorded by legends Linda Ronstadt and the Eagles. The collection is a result of an artist who knows who she is, what she wants to say, and the best way to say it.

KC Johns’ new single release, “FAMOUS,” touches the heart of why she sings. For KC, this song immediately brought her fans to mind. This wasn’t a song about romance for KC. It’s about the passionate faces in the audience every night. It is an anthem to the people who show up, support, download, listen and love KC and her music. The song is KC’s message to them – “You make me feel famous!”

Other recent releases include “all i see is blue” and “take my pain away,” which have a hyperpop sound. Her plan is to release one new song and corresponding music video every month for a year, starting in August.

“I love the idea of creating visual art that represents all of my auditory art. I’m extremely excited to have music videos to go with everything. I think that it brings new life to the songs and really illustrates the kind of feeling that I want people to get from the songs,” Grace said.

Much of her music focuses on relationships, especially troublesome ones.

On this episode of Roger the Wild Child Show: Nashville, we are joined by original keyboardist of Iron Maiden and Cutting Crew, Tony Moore and Bassist for Bret Michaels Band, Stormin' Norman Voss!

TONY MOORE

Tony’s musical career began when he moved from his hometown of Bristol to London after answering an advert in a music magazine for an early lineup of the group, IRON MAIDEN, where he took on the role of keyboard/synth player. The band were unknown at that point and Tony worked and rehearsed with them for some time until, after playing their first live show together, he felt keyboards didn’t really work in the band and decided to leave.

After quitting Iron Maiden, Tony teamed up with Brian James (from The Damned) to form a group called Tanz Der Youth, recording one single called “I’m Sorry I’m Sorry” for Radar Records (home of Elvis Costello). Although a short-lived line-up, the band toured opening for The Stranglers, and Black Sabbath as well as being at the forefront of the New Wave movement in London where they were also championed by the legendary John Peel.

In the early 80’s, Tony formed a band as a vehicle for his singing and songwriting talents, called Radio Java. He signed to Carrerre Records and they made an album at the legendary Abbey Road Studios. From that album, they scored an airplay hit in Holland at Xmas 1983 with a song called FOOL.

In the Mid 80’s Tony joined the band CUTTING CREW (“I just died in your arms tonight”). With the band, he toured the world including playing massive US shows opening for Huey Lewis, Starship, and the Bangles as well as doing many headline gigs. They were the first Western band to play to an audience allowed to dance and stand up in Taiwan, and almost caused a riot amongst the 60,000 inside as well as the tens of thousands who couldn’t get in.

On this episode of Roger the Wild Child Show: Nashville, we are joined by musician, Wes Shipp and singer/songwriter, Noelle Tolland!

WES SHIPP

Wes Shipp was born in Crystal River, Florida on August 3, 1992. Wes started his music career traveling the country and playing on various street corners.

After struggling with drug addiction and being homeless for years, Wes decided that it was time to become serious about his music career. Wes was able to get clean from drugs and push forward.

In 2019, Wes was discovered outside of a Wal-Mart in Little Rock, Arkansas where he was recorded playing Riley Green’s song, “I Wish Grandpas Never Died.” After the individual recorded the video, he proceeded to upload it to Facebook. Overnight the video went viral and received over 400K views. It was then that Wes was noticed by people within the music industry.

Wes released his first song in May 2021 called “My Old Man.” Wes wrote this heartfelt song about his dad, who ironically had a heart attack 4 days after it was written, but is thankfully doing well today. The song quickly grabbed the attention of many of his fans and after realizing the impact the song had on people Wes said, “This is only the beginning.”

NOELLE TOLAND

Nashville based singer-songwriter Noelle Toland wants to modernize and personalize old-school country music. While many assume the genre’s audience is limited exclusively to the South, Toland, who hails from 2,000-person town North Plains, Oregon is proof that that simply isn’t true. “We tailgated, horsed around on farms, and loved the heartbreak behind the stories we grew up listening to," reflects Toland, who identifies wholeheartedly with the genre. By returning to her roots and revisiting the music of her youth, Toland created the unique alchemy that is the 2021 EP “The Sun Will Rise.” The four-song EP, recorded at the famed RCA Studios in Nashville, Tennessee, and produced by the talented Chris Condon, is a blend of 90’s country and seductive soul music. It captures the earthiness and electricity of classic country music with staple instruments like pedal steel and contributions from legends like guitarist Steve Cropper, founding member of the Stax Records house band and Booker T. and the M.G.’s. Toland is over the moon to have such inspirational collaborators, whom she grew up listening to, and is grateful for the opportunity to make this 90’s country influenced record, which is a tribute to beloved artists like Trisha Yearwood and Faith Hill. “Hopefully this record, which I’ve long envisioned, inspires people to take chances, be bold, and place bets on themselves,” she explains, “because that is the only thing that has gotten me through the ups and downs.” At a time when the world is in a constant state of fear, Toland’s ease when it comes to surfing the wave of life is exactly what others need to hear.

HEATH WRIGHT/ RICOCHET

In 1996 the members of country super group Ricochet watched their debut single, “What Do I Know”, rise to the Top 5 earning the band the honor of the highest charting debut single of the year. The follow up single release, “Daddy’s Money”, became an immediate across the board hit, rising to #1 on the Radio & Records Country Singles Chart, the Gavin Country Singles Chart and the Billboard Country Singles Chart (where it stayed #1 for two consecutive weeks).

PAYTON HOWIE

With backwoods bathed vocals and bona fide southern swagger, Payton Howie is leading the next generation of redneck women. Branded as the ultimate ‘All American Girl’ by Scenes Media, Howie unapologetically embodies the untamed tradition that country music was built on, and she’s hellbent on bringing her own grit to the honky tonk.

Not many can say they’ve shared the stage with the likes of Carrie Underwood, and Howie is one of even fewer who can say they were handpicked to do so at the age of 5; while other kids were learning how to ride a bike, she was teaching people to expect the unexpected whenever they hear the name Payton Howie.

Her music has been highlighted by leaders in the industry, including “Never Go Home” featured on Spotify’s Fresh Finds Country: Best of 2021 and Country Rock playlists, and “Country Before Me” featured by COWGIRL Magazine and CMT.

On this episode of Roger the Wild Child Show, we are joined by singer/songwriters Justin Love and Bailey Marie!

JUSTIN LOVE

With his clean, catchy, and country-driven melodies, indie country singer/songwriter Justin Love has a way of crafting the perfect mix of commercially driven sounds with melancholic lyrics, making him an on-the-rise contributor to country music’s indie sub-culture.

Love grew up as a youth pastor’s son, learning to perform beside his family at their hometown church in Waco, Texas. He harmonized on worship songs alongside his sisters when he was as young as 5 years old, but he truly found his calling when he was 11. After earning an associate’s degree in commercial music from McLennan Community College in Waco, Texas, Love intended to pursue a four-year degree from the University of North Texas; however, he was persuaded by his professors, who instructed him to go to Nashville.

Shortly thereafter, he wrote his first country song, “Baby I Still Do,” and hasn’t looked back. ​As a writer and multi-instrumentalist, Love continues to develop his craft by drawing from the musical influences of Blake Shelton, Keith Urban, Jessie Lee, Dan + Shay, Ryan Hurd.

​Being a part of country music’s indie subculture, Love has successfully learned to thrive and differentiate himself within a melting pot of talent that spans across all genres. “You’re trying so hard to not be background noise,” said Love. “You get on stage and you’re trying your hardest to captivate an audience, but I’ve figured out that it’s not about impressions – it’s about impacts.” His third single “I WANNA” was released on July 16th 2020 and is said to be one of his game changing songs in both his music and his sound. It also won him judges pick in the Global Rising Song contest out of 23 songwriters with an outstanding score 915 of 1,000 points by judges votes. The song was written with his good time friend and phenomenal co-writer Troy Castellano.

Despite the chaos of current situations with covid-19, Justin continues to write songs and perform all over Nashville at rounds as well as a few corporate events from time to time. His current single “Went Looking For Me” has already been a gold pick winner and runner up in a few songwriting contests, making him a go-to for co-writing, however he does not take all the credit. “My songs are only as amazing as the people I get to write with”, says Love to let others know it’s an amazing team effort when he is in the room with his co-writers. He is currently in production for his next single “FEELS” which should be released in the spring of July of 2022..

BAILEY MARIE

Bailey Marie is a singer, songwriter and actor from North Carolina. Bailey has performed multiple times at the legendary Apollo Theater in NYC as well as many venues across the country.

Bailey enjoys performing the National Anthem as well for professional sports such as NASCAR, football, baseball, soccer and hockey. Bailey is also apart of the SOS Foundation.

RAELYN NELSON

As an emerging female country artist in Nashville, history suggests that the quickest path to success is somehow aligning oneself with one of the major publishers, producers, songwriters, labels, or managers that are the heart of Music Row. So what do you do if you are an emerging female country artist in Nashville, and also happen to be the granddaughter of musical icon, Willie Nelson?

You hook up with an independent producer and veteran of the rock/punk scene, write some songs that are part Loretta Lynn, part Cheap Trick, and form the Raelyn Nelson Band.

"I don't really have any desire to be a 'solo-artist'. Everyone in my family who plays music has always placed a lot of importance on band chemistry, on stage, off stage and in the studio. Our band can almost read each other's minds. Why would I mess with that? We try to keep it simple: Write songs we like, record them, make a video, then go out and play them for people."- Raelyn Nelson

OLIVIA FAYE

Olivia Faye is a country/pop singer/songwriter and actress who hails from Murray, Kentucky. Growing up in a family of music lovers, her musical stylings pay homage to many of the early icons of country music, blues and classic rock.

She has over 250K followers on social media platforms, over 1 million streams and views on streaming platforms and YouTube plus a fast-growing and loyal fan base who named themselves the Trafam. It’s no wonder her newest album, “Baby Blues & Stilettos”, debuted in the top ten on the iTunes Country Album Charts and received over 300K first week streams.

TREY CALLOWAY

Trey Calloway is a singer-songwriter born and raised in North Carolina. The son of a preacher man, Trey grew up singing in church and was a seasoned performer by the age of 10. Although southern and contemporary gospel were his first musical loves, he was instantly mesmerized by the sounds of country music after hearing a Garth Brooks Greatest Hits album his parents bought for him. A deep understanding and passion for the rocking, boot stomping, country music of artists such as Garth, Clint Black, Alan Jackson, and Travis Tritt began to grow within him. Trey began writing songs, playing guitar, and performing in clubs at age 15. He knew early on without a shadow of a doubt that he would make music his career.

RYAN JEWEL

Like many artists, Ryan Jewel was drawn to music at a young age. When he got his first guitar, there was no turning back. By high school, Ryan started playing with the idea of becoming a professional musician. By his sophomore year at Clemson University, Ryan and his fellow bandmate, Andrew Beam, were burning up every bar, club, sorority, and fraternity party they were able to. They went by the name Beam & Jewel and played 3 nights a week for the remainder of Ryan's college career.

A native of Front Royal, Virginia, the country music singer/songwriter released his first EP "Up on the Drive" in 2016. This EP helped him gain traction with his music career around his hometown, the Shenandoah Valley, and further. Along with his EP, Ryan was a runner-up in the 2015 Texaco Country Showdown, a nationwide talent search, which solidified Ryan's calling for a music career. Ryan has had the privilege of being the opening act for some major country artist's such as Marty Stuart and Lauren Alaina. He has also shared the stage with fellow Nashville artists, and Clemson buddies, Cody Webb and Doug McCormick.

Ryan's rich, baritone vocals, paired with his authentic songwriting, which reflect his own life experiences, have help build him a strong fan base who enjoy Ryan's "what you see is what you get" style of shows and attitude.

When Ryan moved to Nashville in 2017, he hit the ground running; signing a management deal with Harmony Music Group Mgt just two weeks after moving to town. "If we didn't sign him, someone would've jumped all over him as soon as he opened his mouth around town and started singing" - (Fred Conley) He started singing demo's for many established writers around town and soon after, began writing with many of those same writer's.

Ryan recently released his second studio EP "Heads, i'm yours..." to all digital platforms and is currently selling hard copies along with new merchandise at all of his shows.

BRANDI BEHLEN

These are some of the words that come to mind when describing Brandi Behlen. For her, music is not just about entertainment: it's a very special form of communication that can reach deep into a person's soul. This award winning Texas-based country singer and songwriter loves to share her songs with the world. There is no gig too small or too big, and there is no place where she wouldn’t play as long as there is an audience. She has performed all over the state and beyond, winning over her audience with catchy melodies, earnest lyrics, and great showmanship.

Brandi is a risk taker with her sound, always challenging herself to set the bar higher. At the same time, her songs have a warm, familiar vibe to them, echoing the tradition of the best country artists. Her voice is energetic, yet uplifting and relatable. Whether she is singing a mellow ballad or an upbeat track, she knows how to hit the spot and create the perfect atmosphere. Through her music, she hopes to inspire people the same way her grandpa and uncles inspired her, as she would sit there as a child awestruck, watching them play their band and charm the audience!

Brandi's debut single, "Daddy's Money", peaked at #31 on Texas Regional Radio Report in 2019. Brandi followed "Daddy's Money" with a few other singles- all topping in the top 40 in the Texas charts. She even put out a couple Christmas songs.

On this episode of Roger the Wild Child Show, we are joined by singer/songwriter, Dustin Craig and independant country artist and songwriter, Raihanna Estrada!

DUSTIN CRAIG

Born into a musical family where music was embedded in the family as much as Church on Sundays, Dustin Craig was quite simply born to be a star. There’s literally nothing else he could do to prepare him for the path he’s on as an engaging entertainer with the kind depth and wisdom that contradicts his youthfulness. Songs like “Bring On Tomorrow” and “Sunday Morning Prayers” showcase his ability as a wordsmith. While after one listen to his powerful vocals on those two and others like “What Would Wyatt Do”, “Her Heart Is A Rodeo”, and “Never Surrender”, it’s easy to get lost in the lyrically driven story songs.

In addition to writing powerful music, Dustin has earned the kind of accolades many rising stars would kill to have. He’s won battles of the bands, he’s appeared on Nashville morning news programs, and he’s able to tour throughout the year, often packing the venues he plays like he was already a star with a handful of mainstream #1 hits and Platinum albums. His songs have aired on the GAC TV broadcasts of the Wrangler National Finals Rodeo from Vegas and appear on the recently released movie soundtrack for “Cowgirls ‘n Angels Dakota’s Summer”.

Dustin Craig is an energetic entertainer born from the New School where stage presence isn’t just standing and singing - his interaction and living in the moment with the audience comes across in every song he sings, be it his sturdy original material or choice covers. Performances are raw, real and bring to mind entertainers like Garth Brooks, Jason Aldean and many more.

While out on touring around the rodeo circuit, Dustin crafted an EP of songs specifically for these folks, and this is where you can find “Sunday Morning Prayers” & “Her Heart Is A Rodeo”, mixed in with uptempo songs “Every Day is A Rodeo” and “The Ride.” It is in these songs where Dustin Craig showcases how well-rounded of a songwriter and artist he is. He’s able to play the uptempo rockers as well as the heartfelt, emotional ballads with the ease of a Townes Van Zandt, Keith Urban and yet another of his influences – Bob Dylan. He’s a modern day musical poet ready to share his master class, and if all music had the raw honesty of the music from Dustin Craig, the world would be a better place for it.

RAIHANNA ESTRADA

Raihanna Estrada is a country artist-songwriter from California now living in Nashville, Tennessee. She grew up in a motor home on a ranch in Lake Berryessa in Napa County and fell in love with 90’s country radio. Later she moved back to Fremont in the San Francisco Bay Area and continued songwriting/singing. In 2009 she moved to Los Angeles living right off of Hollywood Boulevard. That move changed her life. She met musicians from all over the world and put a band together playing her first show on the Sunset Strip. She met her husband Eric Bickerstaffe, a Canadian guitarist from Calgary. You can find the couple always writing new music, recording and planning their next travels in the world. A year after being married, they took that dream and moved to Nashville.

Her latest single release “June” is an upbeat-love letter to summer wishing for those days to come back and stick around forever. She hopes that fans will dance along to this summer tune going back to their own unforgettable magic moments that are painted in their minds. The music video for June was featured on CMT.com. Stay tuned on her socials for the lyric and music videos and new music releases!

On this episode of Roger the Wild Child Show, we are joined by singer/songwriter Ned LeDoux and country/rocker, Sticktight Akins!

NED LEDOUX

Ned LeDoux began building a fervent and loyal fan base as a constant touring force as a drummer in his dad’s band. In January 2016 he put down the sticks, picked up a guitar and stepped to the front of the stage.

LeDoux began pursuing that dream at an early age, and even though he grew up in the shadow of his legendary father, he’s successfully carved his own path. “If I can be half the man he was I think I’ll be okay,” he says with an easygoing grin, “but when it comes to songwriting I’ve got to write my own story. I’ve played drums for years and got my first band when I was in junior high. I went on to play drums with my dad from 1998 until he passed away in 2005, and then I started doing solo gigs.”

On Buckskin, LeDoux again delivers songs that transcend mere entertainment to celebrate a life that many aspire to, but few actually live. Like his father, LeDoux’s music is as expansive as the western sky he was raised under and celebrates the ranch lifestyle that is such an integral part of his heritage. There’s an authenticity to his songs that brings our nation’s beloved western culture to life, even for listener’s who’ve never ventured onto the Great Plains.

One of the most incredible things about great music is that it has the ability to take the listener to a place they’d rather be. A compelling song can carry someone back in time to a treasured memory, or transport a person to a spectacular western prairie they’ve only visited in their dreams. Ned LeDoux’s music has that kind of power. As a songwriter, he has a knack for bringing people, places and emotions vibrantly to life with his insightful lyrics, and warm, strong voice that makes him sound like a beloved friend you always want to hang out with. Those gifts are fully on display on LeDoux’s new album Buckskin.

LeDoux is well respected for his high-energy live shows that mix his western roots with the rock and roll influences he acquired in his youth. He routinely headlines his own shows as well as earning coveted opening slots for Toby Keith, Aaron Watson and Garth Brooks. “We opened for Garth at the 125th anniversary for Cheyenne frontier Days last July which was crazy,” he says. “When people are coming out to our shows and spending their hard-earned money on a ticket, I don’t want to leave them disappointed. We’re going to give you a show and leave you wanting more. I’m always out of breath and soaking wet when we’re done, but it’s so much fun!”

STICKTIGHT AKINS

STICKTIGHT, is a High Energetic Country Rock artist from the heart of the Bluegrass State bringing you the best of Classic Anthems and today's hits as well as original music! The 24-year-old Country singer-songwriter writes songs from his experiences growing up in South Central Kentucky, paying homage to his roots, tales and stories from traveling on the road, and making the most out of life appreciating what you have. Sticktight's influences come from multiple genres and artists, from pioneers such as Waylon Jennings, Willie Nelson, Travis Tritt, Hank Williams, Jr., and modern chart toppers like Keith Urban, Chris Janson, and Morgan Wallen, to legendary rockers such as Kid Rock, Lynyrd Skynyrd, Bob Seger, Def Leppard, Poison, Stevie Ray Vaughn, Mötley Crüe, etc. His animation on stage is impeccable with outstanding crowd interaction, as well as an astonishing charismatic performance that the audience can feel his love and passion for what he's doing.

Sticktight's Band comprises of seasoned professionals, well grounded musicians with abounding years of performing experience. Their show is a high energetic performance that entertains audiences bringing them back for more!

KIMO FORREST

Kimo grew up in rural Northern California in a musical home. His Hawaiian mother was a notable Hula Dancer, and his Arkansas born father was a multi-instrumentalist that loved Country Music. It was a foregone conclusion that Kimo would someday be in the music industry. He started playing in bands with his dad at the age of 12, shortly after learning the guitar. It was this early exposure to making music that lit his fire.

Kimo met band mates Monty DeVita in elementary school, and James Blaylock in High School, and with some member changes over the years, they became one of the top country bands on the West Coast in the early 90’s.

Kimo moved to Nashville, TN in 1994, and quickly found himself immersed in the scene. He ran a successful demo recording studio out of his home and began touring with many great artists, including David Lee Murphy, John Michael Montgomery and Country Music Hall of Fame Members, Alabama, whom he still tours with today. However, he knew his bond with his musical brothers, Monty and James, would always be his focus and passion. Kimo feels Cash Creek has just begun to communicate their message, and they have so much more to say..

On this episode of Roger the Wild Child Show, we are joined by country music artist, Kirstie Kraus and singer/songwriter/producer, Craig Wilson!

KIRSTIE KRAUS

She’s thirsty for love and magic, for joy and sunshine. She’s thirsty for compassion and authenticity. And more than anything, she’s thirsty for anything that sets her soul on fire.

Kirstie Kraus carries her thirst in her songwriting, in her live shows, and in her everyday connection with other kindred spirits. Nowhere is her appetite more quenched than on a stage in front of her fans, appropriately named “Thirsties”. Her confidence naturally shines under the bright lights, taking concert goers on a well-defined path of self-discovery and bliss. Her writing infuses her own transparent journey with others’ experiences to create sustainable lyrics and catchy melodies.

The result is a perfect blend of country, funk, blues, and rock because with Kirstie, there are no boundaries. There’s only the process of “letting go” and letting the song tell you what it wants to be. It will also tell you WHERE it wants to be and for an intuitive deep thinker like Kirstie, that place is Nashville. Three years ago, the Wisconsin native made the move to Music City and having heavily toured the summer before with her Midwest band, Thirsty Jones, Kirstie made the decision to really focus on honing her craft in town. She immediately began demoing out songs for her upcoming full length record and playing established Nashville venues, like the Listening Room Café and the Bluebird. She also leaned into the production side of her album, gaining great insight from her then producer about arrangements, vocal styling, and mixing. Her first Nashville based single, “Delusional” (2018) fancies a sassy 80s funk groove while 2019’s “Gotta Do” pulls in early 2000s Shania vibes. “Silver”, her July 2020 release, possesses the licks of Joan Jett and attitude of Avril Lavigne, proving that she’s not a one lane roadmap.

And now, here she is, proving to the world that if you truly set your mind to something, “Yes You Can” do it! Taken from the bridge of her song, “Gotta Do”, the words “Yes You Can” will also serve as the title to her debut album, looking to drop in 2021. And in prelude to the highly anticipated 11 song record, the world gets to learn just how “thirsty” Kirstie is with her new song of the same name. Written solely for her by a close friend, “Thirsty” serves as the “ultimate biography of what goes on inside of me when I’m in a relationship—the fear of allowing yourself to actually fall in love and trust somebody.”

On this episode of Roger the Wild Child Show, we are joined by country and rock artist, Mark Mackay along with singer/songwriter, Lee Kelley!

MARK MACKAY

Sometimes, especially now, writers will discuss genre-bending music as if it’s a new thing. It’s not. First off, great music is timeless isn’t it? The best artists have always had the sense of what came before them.

Mark Mackay’s music embodies that tradition; wielding a guitar that fuels his sound that can be measured with a bow to the legendary artists that came out Laurel Canyon in the 1960’s, 70’s, 80’s… and continues today.

Mark’s music links to the renowned acts who teetered the line between rock and country but were also full of soul: Neil Young, Poco, Jackson Browne, and on and on.

Mark’s not been under a rock; his well-crafted songs from, “Leaving California,” “Time Will Tell,” and the ones he’s not even written yet, are up-to-date and current. His songs will feel like home for all fans of true music; from Zoomers to Boomers! This past year has been a rough one; to put it mildly. But before the pandemic came crashing down, Mark was playing to huge crowds, stadium sized audiences; sharing the bill with artists who spanned the spectrum- from Blake Shelton to REO Speedwagon to Tim McGraw and Richie Sambora. Mark’s comfortable with all ends of that wide-ranging variety. Mark’s magnetic sound can reach all ends of a stadium or be at home in smaller environs like the Ryman Auditorium.

This past year Mark has been busy crafting and recording new music, creating songs that are itching to be performed in front of live audiences.

The world is almost ready and not a minute too soon. I’m betting that by the time that you roll into a concert hall, club or even a stadium. You’ll have already digested his newest songs and will be ready to sing-along.

On this episode of Roger the Wild Child Show, we are joined by former Nashville recording Artist, Chad Brock, and singer/songwriter Tom Yankton!

CHAD BROCK

In high school, Brock played football & was offered a post-secondary scholarship to play sports. He turned down the scholarship, however, as his experiences in the school choir had convinced him to pursue a singing career. Brock moved to Nashville, Tennessee, to follow this dream, but he met with little success at first. In 1994, he signed a record deal with Warner Bros. Records, but he did not release any music for over three years.

Warner Brothers and WCW got together to cross-promote Brock, and he trained at World Championship Wrestling's training facility, the WCW Power Plant. Chad wrestled for WCW from 1994 -1996, until an injury forced him to retire. He also appeared at several WCW events in 1999, where he was briefly involved in an angle with Curt Hennig.

In 1998, Brock released his debut single, "Evangeline", which peaked at number 51 on the Billboard Hot Country Singles & Tracks (now Hot Country Songs) charts. That song's follow-up, the ballad "Ordinary Life", went on to become Brock's first major hit,[1] peaking at number 3 on the same chart, as well as number 39 on the Billboard Hot 100. Following that song's success, Brock released his self-titled debut album. Its third and final single, "Lightning Does The Work", reached number 19 in 1999.

Brock's fourth chart single was a rewrite of Hank Williams, Jr.'s signature song "A Country Boy Can Survive", a number 2 hit for Williams in 1981. Chad's version, which featured Williams and George Jones, was entitled "A Country Boy Can Survive (Y2K Version)", was re-written with lyrics pertaining to the Year 2000 problem (abbreviated Y2K). The song served as the first single from Brock's 2000 album Yes!. Its second single was the title track, which went on to become Brock's only number-one Billboard hit,[1] as well as a number 22 hit on the Hot 100 chart. The third and last single from Yes! ("The Visit") peaked at number 21.

2001 saw the release of Brock's 3rd and final album for Warner Bros.. Entitled III, it was less successful than its predecessor. III had only one chart entry in "Tell Me How", which failed to make the Top 40. This album also reprised Brock's three highest-charting singles ("Yes!", "Ordinary Life" and "Lightning Does The Work"). Shortly thereafter, he signed to Broken Bow Records, then a newly formed independent label. Although he released five singles for Broken Bow, four of which made the charts, he never put out a full album.

TOM YANKTON

Tom Yankton’s rowdy, high-energy, multi-million streaming, wildly-talented brand of award-winning, party crowd entertainment wouldn’t be complete without, 1.) The back story that starts in Hot Springs, Arkansas and 2.)

On this episode of Roger the Wild Child Show, we are joined by actor, comedian, author and game show host, John O'Hurley! He is known for his portrayal of J. Peterman on the NBC sitcom Seinfeld, and was the fifth host of the game show Family Feud from 2006 to 2010. He also hosted To Tell The Truth from 2000 to 2002 in syndication.

On Seinfeld, O'Hurley played J. Peterman, a fictionalized version of catalog-company entrepreneur John Peterman, from 1995 until the show's end in 1998. O'Hurley invested in the relaunch of The J. Peterman Company, and since 1999 has been a part-owner and member of the board of directors.

He was a contestant on the first season of the television show Dancing with the Stars which aired during the summer of 2005. O'Hurley and his dance partner Charlotte Jørgensen made it to the final competition, which he lost to ABC soap opera star Kelly Monaco.

After fans alleged that Monaco's victory was a set-up, the network announced that O'Hurley, Monaco and their professional dancing partners would face off in a special "grudge match" episode broadcast September 20, 2005. Unlike the first episode, viewer vote solely determined the outcome as opposed to a combination between the three professional judges and the viewer votes.

O'Hurley and Jørgensen emerged as the winners. The rematch earned $126,000 for Golfers Against Cancer charity. Afterward the duo produced a dance instruction video called, "Learn to Dance with John and Charlotte".

On this episode of Roger the Wild Child Show, we are joined by country music artist who was discovered on season 12 of NBC's The Voice, Casi Joy!

Blake Shelton says of Casi Joy, "She has this electric energy when she's on stage and has these unique things that she can do vocally. She's an edgier version of a country artist. She's old school but has a youthful energy about her. There's no stopping Casi Joy."

With over 40 million video views online, and 350,000 followers, Joy has captured the attention of music fans around the globe who appreciate the way she melds traditional country and modern pop influences. A seasoned performer, her impressive social media presence eventually led to a highly-touted run on NBC's The Voice, where she instantly turned all four chairs and was singled out by Rolling Stone as having one of the top 10 best blind auditions of all time - a testament to the hard work and dedication of someone who has been performing professionally since the age of five.

Casi began her music career touring the midwest in the country opry circuit. After years of performing country classics, she was spotted and signed by Radio Disney at the age of 14. Shortly after, she took her music to Nashville, where she recorded at legendary RCA Studios.

There hasn’t been a time in Casi’s life that she hasn’t pursued music, but she’s quite a jack-of-all-trades. Growing up, Casi was involved in several activities including Varsity Soccer (All District), Track (State Sectionals), was captain of the dance team, and was the Student Council class secretary. Her athletic background earned her a track scholarship to Park University, where she graduated Summa Cum Laude with a bachelor’s degree in education. While working her way through college, Casi was also a music instructor at the School of Rock where she then became the director of their Pre-K music program “Little Wing.” In 2015, the songstress knew her true calling was in music city, and made the move to Nashville. Shortly after, she released her debut EP “Love on Repeat” where she worked with top players in the industry at Sound Stage Studio. In 2016, Casi’s hard work and dedication paid off when she got the call to be on The Voice. After making it to the live finals, she has since been touring the US and Canada in her tour bus that she now lives in full time. This has enabled her to literally go wherever the music takes her.

Joy's vibrant stage presence has led to sharing the stage with many notable country acts including Montgomery Gentry, Maren Morris, Keith Urban, Carly Pearce, Easton Corbin, Dustin Lynch, LOCASH and other various chart topping artists. Hailing from Kansas City before moving to Nashville, Casi has become a beloved hometown figure. One of her favorite events to come back for is the Kansas City Plaza Lighting seen by 250,000 attendees and half a million television viewers. She has also been invited numerous times to sing her stunning rendition of the National Anthem for the Kansas City Chiefs, American Royal, KC Royals, and Sporting KC.

When not touring and performing, Casi can be found writing music and connecting with her booming social media following. The fiery redhead is known for her melodic, personal songwriting and received an overwhelming response to her latest single "Poor Angel." Just before, Casi released her highly anticipated, sophomore EP "The Bright Side,” which debuted at #19 on the iTunes Country Album Charts. With a bus load of music on the way, and a tour beginning in November, Casi is poised for a busy and bright future.

Shelton said it best: "There's no stopping Casi Joy." -Blake Shelton

On this episode of Roger the Wild Child Show, we are joined by country music artist, Matt Kennon!

Matt Kennon knows the power of a great song. It can stir your emotions, move you to tears, motivate you, and in some cases even save your life; as Matt has seen firsthand in his career with songs like “The Call”, “You Had To Pick On Me”, and his latest single “Love is Stronger.” For him music is about the message, and time and again he’s written thought-provoking and heart-tugging songs that have racked up impressive chart numbers and even more impressive sales: throughout the course of his career he’s already sold over 300,000 singles and 40,000 albums.

The Atlanta native is inspired by and writes about things close to his heart, and often finds himself writing songs with emotional messages, as in his hits “The Call” and “You Had To Pick On Me.” His songs have definitely hit home with many struggling with issues like suicide, post-traumatic stress, and bullying, and the Atlanta native actually devoted the last two-plus years to a special anti-bullying program he developed and took to 83 schools in seven states. Through partnering with several sports foundations around the country, including Alabama coach Nick Saban’s charity, Nick’s Kids, Matt was able to reach over 150,000 students with a powerful anti-bullying message.

The campaign was just one example of how apt Kennon is at dialing in to the emotions his fans are experiencing, and for proof of that connection, one need not look any further than the iTunes chart, where Matt has been a Featured Artist for the last five years with each of his independent releases. His explosive live shows no doubt fuel those sales as well, as Kennon is a powerful live performer with hundreds of shows under his belt on all sorts of stages. Throughout the course of his career he’s shared the stage with many of today’s top country artists; Kenny Chesney, Blake Shelton, Train, Darius Rucker, Uncle Kracker, Lee Brice, and The Band Perry, and many others.

Matt has always been able to capture the attention of fans and fellow artists alike. From his earliest days in Nashville, his songwriting finding instant credibility by “striking a chord” with one of Country Music’s greatest, Randy Travis. Travis recorded “Turn It Around”, and released it on his 2008 album Around the Bend. To his engagement with his fans today. Matt uses the power of social media to keep his fans actively in touch. His followers continue to help build a powerful social media presence – recently helping his video for “The Call” surpass an amazing seven million views.

On this episode of Roger the Wild Child Show, we are joined by former ECW wrestler, adultr film star and podcast host, Jasmin St. Claire!

Jasmin St. Claire shot to fame as "America's Most Controversial Sex Symbol" after appearing in the top-selling adult films of the late 1990s. She created an outlaw rock star image that at times scandalized the adult industry. Her acerbic humor and willingness to mock her own porn stardom made her one of the highest rated guests on Howard Stern's radio show and related broadcasts for E! Entertainment. St. Claire's first mainstream appearances were in significant comic roles in Communication Breakdown and in National Lampoon Dorm Daze 2.

St. Claire's background is almost entirely at odds with her early adult-film career. She was born Rhea De Vlugt in the U.S. Virgin Islands. Her father, from Holland, operated a food distribution company. Her mother was a U.S.-educated lawyer, originally from Brazil. St. Claire grew up on Manhattan's Upper west side and attended the Lycee Francais and McBurney School, whose alumni include Henry Winkler and J.D. Salinger. St. Claire graduated from Brooklyn Friends School at age 16, with honors for her work in the pioneering "Art without Walls" tutoring program for inner city youth. Upon graduation from Columbia University, St, Claire became a financial consultant at S. G. Warburg (then, a division of Swiss Bank.). But while in a physically abusive relationship with a prominent Manhattan lawyer (whom St. Claire later outed in an interview with Howard Stern), she began a secret life as a topless dancer at Manhattan's infamous KitKat Club, then at Flashdancers.

St. Claire entered the adult industry on a dare. Invited on the Jerry Springer Show for a scripted role as antagonistic stripper, St. Claire invented her larger-than-life "Jasmin St. Claire" persona. St. Claire's flare for theater and controversy marked her ascent in the adult film world. She polarized the industry by calling porn films "by and large, disgusting and brainless." But she quickly dethroned Jenna Jameson as America's top-selling porn star, and became the first Latina to surpass traditional blond porn star archetypes when her films achieved number one sales position in 1998. She was inducted in AVN's "Hall of Fame" as one of the greatest porn stars of all time. St. Claire was among the first adult performers to be merchandised as an action figure and to star in an adult comic book series. At the height of her porn stardom, St. Claire was the subject of critical essays by David Foster Wallace and Evan Wright. For all the controversy she engendered, St. Claire only spent three years in the adult business and made just over two dozen films. In 1999, she retired. She never made an adult film again, though compilations of old footage re-released under new titles continued to be sold through the 2000s. St. Claire pushed herself to new extremes by becoming a pro-wrestler. In 1998 the Dudley Boyz invited her to appear in the ECW's Living Dangerously pay-per-view event. St. Claire subsequently trained under Sue Sexton and Mando Guerrero, then worked with wrestling legend Jimmy Lawler in the Memphis Championship and in the XWF and NWA-TNA. St. Claire often played the role of "manager," who would enter the ring and fight alongside wrestlers. In real life, St. Claire created the upstart federation 3PW becoming the first female owner ever to operate and promote a wrestling league, five years before Stephanie McMahon took the reigns of the WWE. St. Claire closed the doors to 3PW in 2005. St. Claire became a heavy-metal journalist and on-air personality with the launch of the Metals Darkside series in 2004, which she also produced. Her interest in heavy metal stretches back to the first Black Sabbath show she attended at Madison Square Garden when she was nine.

After spending the year surrounding himself with Nashville and Los Angeles’ best writers, Jet has been honing in on his storytelling craft and focusing on the inspiring messages he wishes to deliver. With a collection of new songs that perfectly blend country and pop, Jet will continue to present “an unapologetic shot of positive energy” (Taste of Country).
