Roots Rednecks and Radicals

Jade Jackson

I recently had a chance to chat with singer/songwriter Jade Jackson. Jade is releasing her second album this summer and touring in support of if it. Both of her albums were produced by Social Distortion frontman Mike Ness, and both showcase her incredible voice and writing skills. Her songs draw on influences like Johnny Cash, Hank Williams, Bruce Springsteen, and Mazzy Star. She has been making waves the last few years with her live performances, and albums. Her blending of thoughtful lyrics, guitar tones, and roots music fuse into a truly unique style that she can call her own. Enjoy this interview, and make sure to check out her music, and live performances. You won't be disappointed. 

Kenny Roby of 6 String Drag

I had the opportunity to chat with singer/songwriter Kenny Roby of the Alt-Country band 6 String Drag. Kenny was gracious enough to take a few minutes out of his touring schedule to talk with me about his music, and his band 6 String Drag. He's been a part of the music industry since 1993, and he's had an enormous influence on the Alt-Country scene. Kenny was easy going, fun to talk to, and had some great stories from his musical past. Enjoy! 

Colin Hay

I had the amazing opportunity to chat with legendary songwriter Colin Hay. He first rose to fame in the 80s with the group "Men At Work" and has had an incredible solo career over the last 20 years. You've heard his music with such hits as "Overkill" and "Waiting For My Real Life To Begin." He has recently been touring with Ringo Starr all around the world. He will be playing a show at Harrah's Lake Tahoe on Saturday May 18th. It was a pleasure to talk with him, he was an very gracious guy. Here's the interview!
