Roger the Wild Child Show

On this episode of Roger the Wild Child Show, we are joined by rising country music artist and Willie Nelson's granddaughter, Raelyn Nelson and Okivia Faye, who sang duet with Noah Thompson, the winner of this years American Idol and who is a singer/songwriter/axctress herself.
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
