    This week we have the pleasure of sitting down with one of CMT's Next Women in country music! The wonderfully talented Julie Williams joins the show! Julie comes up from southern roots with a beautiful blend of Country and Folk music that really paves the way for something special. One of the most prolific writers we have had on the show be sure to check out her entire catalog and see her live!

    Julie Williams:
    CMT Next Women of Country's Julie Williams is turning heads in Nashville’s Americana music scene with her compelling blend of country storytelling, soft-yet-powerful vocal performance, and indie folk production. Building her career on the road, Julie has played over 120 shows in 26 states in the past two years and captivated audiences at festivals such as Newport Folk Festival, CMA Fest, Tortuga Music Fest, High Water Festival, Cayamo, and AmericanaFest. She has shared the stage with acts across genres, including Jason Isbell, Allison Russell, Mt. Joy, Devon Gilfillian, Brittney Spencer, and Will Hoge. A member of the Black Opry Revue, Julie was named in Rissi Palmer’s Color Me Country Class of 2021, featured on Wide Open Country’s list of “10 Country Acts Poised for a Breakout Year in 2023,” and her single “Southern Curls” was covered by Billboard, CMT, “PBS NewsHour,” and numerous music publications. An activist at heart, Julie launched Green Room Conversations in March 2023, a series of performances and speaking campuses on college campuses to raise awareness of sexual harassment in the music industry. On August 20, Julie released “just friends?,” a nostalgic and queer tune about realizing you once had romantic feelings for an old friend. It is the first taste of new music from her forthcoming EP Tennessee Moon available Oct. 17.

    This week we have the incredibly talanted Chris Housman on the show to discuss his music journey as an openly queer country artist. His talents dont just stop at song writing! He is a fantastic performer multi instrumentalist and world class singer! Enjoy this deep dive into his music and then watch as we all play trivia together!

    Please check out the deeply personal interview that Chris did on his personal life on the "Rooted in Recovery" Podcast!

    Chris Housman:
    If Harlan Howard was right when he said “country music is three chords and the truth”, then Chris Housman is one of the best qualified artists working in Country today. Beyond the classic twang, rich six string backed sound, and disarming Kansas baritone, his offerings in the genre gently, yet unapologetically, speak his truth at every turn. As an openly gay country artist and songwriter, he meticulously brings together two worlds that, to many, are at odds with one another. Whether it’s the metaphoric “Drag Queen” which celebrates a small town teacher who goes from Michael to Michelle after hours, or the viral sensation “Blueneck,” a welcoming homespun manifesto that proudly declares “y’all means all,” Housman’s music offers a musical bridge in a divided time. Called “irresistible” by Rolling Stone, with “Good Morning America” praising him for “making waves,” and Billboard staunchly affirming him as a saving grace for “outcasts in the genre,” Housman’s message is a simple one: “Country is for everyone.” Given his 4.5 million streams and 230,000 online followers, it's clearly a message that the world wants to hear.

    Ever been shoulder-checked while holding a box cutter during a major candle sale? That's just a slice of the chaos we unpack this week on the Hook and Bridge podcast. Taylor recently gave her two-week notice with a heavy heart and an impressive track record, and the rollercoaster of emotions and hilarity that ensued is something you're going to want to hear. Between tales of managing a bustling store and the unexpected antics of customers, there's plenty of laughter and camaraderie to go around.

    Switching from the workplace to the heart, we explore the nuances of giving and receiving love through touching personal anecdotes. A beautifully crafted wallet and engraved sheet music exchanged for a wedding anniversary remind us of the power of meaningful gestures. We also find ourselves pondering the peculiar trend of people withdrawing cash every four years and reflect on the emotional impact of watching the animated series Bluey. These stories are sprinkled with warmth and humor, making it a segment you won’t want to miss.

    As the music world celebrates, so do we, with a dynamic recap of the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame induction ceremony. From Cher’s induction by Zendaya and Dua Lipa to Ozzy Osbourne’s rock tribute, we cover it all with a mix of awe and amusement. Even the playful chaos of our music guessing game—where mistaken guesses spark laughter—captures the spirit of our podcast. Join us as we celebrate music, share stories, and engage in word games that will keep you entertained and guessing until the very end.
