Woodsongs Vodcasts

KELSEY WALDON hails from Monkey's Eyebrow, Kentucky. Her 2014 debut ?The Goldmine? announced the Kentucky singer-songwriter as a disciple of Tammy and Loretta, with yearning vocals and hints of barroom twang. The Washington Post calls her "country's coolest young voice?. She has been featured in Rolling Stone's Ten Artists to Watch, Relix, Billboard and iTunes 25 Artists To Make You Like Country Music list. Don Henley recently cited her as one of the new young artists that keeps him encouraged about the future of music. She just released the follow up to her critically acclaimed debut album ?I?ve Got a Way? which is already receiving high praise from critics and fans. K PHILLIPS was born in West Texas. He started playing guitar and writing songs at age 5 and began playing organ and piano in bar bands at age 14. When K was 18 both his close friend and girlfriend died in separate drowning accidents. Reeling from these losses, he made the decision to pursue his own music. On his forth-coming sophomore LP ?Dirty Wonder?, K has truly found his voice ? a combination of Tom Waits' lyrical wit and Keith Richards? slinky country-rock hooks joined with K?s unique, compelling vocal delivery. He and his band recently finished a ten-week tour supporting Counting Crows and Rob Thomas. WoodSongs Kid: Maisy Reliford hails from Borden, Indiana. This 13-year-old plays fiddles and sings and has released a couple of singles with a record label in Nashville.
