We are posting this update to first bring in the new year with Indie Radio Nashville and to also let our listeners know that we have not given up the podcast.
First of all, welcome to 2017! We have had a successful year in 2016 bringing you new music from around the world from musicians who should be heard. 2017 will be no different in that aspect. We thought that we would be releasing more podcasts than we did last year, but we lacked the musicians to promote. Not as many musicians answered our ads as we originally planned. We managed, however, to release five solid podcasts that were listened to by at least 100 people each. This next round we want to break that record and double it with the new episodes.
How are we going to be different in 2017? Our goals for 2017 are as followed:
* Improved podcast quality. (mastering skills needed)
* Quality discussions instead of just introducing musicians.
* To find a place for old podcasts to die that is assessable to everybody.
* Start an online radio station. (Still searching for a cheap host)
* Start artist interviews via skype or something.
We will just stop there for now because that is a long list to complete within a year. These are our goals and will help build our listener base. We want independent musicians to be the new mainstream and will do everything in our power to continue promoting real musicians like you. Check back with us every once in awhile and subscribe so you won't miss anything. Things are coming together for the first episode of the new year. Stay tuned...

Song 1: Jasy Stewart - "Room to Breath." - South Carolina
Reverbnation Account
Jasy Stewart is a singer/songwriter out of South Carolina, originally from Nashville, Tennessee. She is indeed the grand-daughter of country queen, Loretta Lynn.
We played Jasy on the last podcast, but that was just a demo she did for somebody. I told Jasy that we would play something that she would want played. The song that we included on this podcast is her real musical style so why not give it a listen?
Song 2: C.J. Oswald - "Pill Bottle Blues." - Fredrick, MD
Facebook Page
C.J. Oswald (formerly Bats Dynamic Trio, Bats Dynamic String Band) brings an electric approach to song writing and defies genera labels infusing outlaw, rock, blues, jazz, folkwriteracca with jammy tendencies...& a story teller mentality...in short, you just do not know what you will get unless you go to a show.
Song 3: John Aulabaugh - Springfield, IL
Soundcloud Page
John is a singer/songwriter from Springfield, IL. John started writing songs at the young age of 51, after not picking up the guitar for nearly 25 years!
Song 3: Texas Twisters - "Lonesome" - Spokeane, WA
ReverbNation Account
Band formed in 2010 by front man, Rusty Brown.
Song 4: The Scarecrow Revival - "Never Going Back"
Facebook Page
We are Scarecrow Revival.
You'll find us hammering out Americana originals *and a couple very original covers), telling dark tales from the flat-lands.
The Revival is an acoustic trio - but don't confuse "acoustic" with "quiet." We roll through with the subtly of a freight train.

Song 5: - Brandon Norris - "The Big Red Sun" - Excel, Alabama
Facebook Page
Not much about this fella neither! This song is my favorite out of all the songs on the podcast this time. To me he sounds like a dude in his 20s from Cali. Guess I was wrong! The thing is, you can feel his music. Feeling music separates you from other artists and makes you stick out.
