The plans for the new show are to better reflect our audience and partners. Over the last year, we have made connections with musicians and businesses across the entire New England area, not just in Connecticut. We felt that the new show name and brand would be a nice way to honor that, and to attract more listeners from the same region. The podcast will continue to help the New England region find out about exciting rising country stars. As our slogan says: We bring Nashville to New England. Episodes will still be released every Thursday with the first one set to begin streaming on all major listening platforms on Thursday 1/4/24. The first episode will feature a conversation with former American Idol / NBC Voice contestant Jackson Snelling.

Country artists are the stars, but the music industry takes a village. You have record labels who finance things, audio engineers who record and mix, graphic designers who create album art, video producers who create music videos, tour managers, stage crew, lighting directors, who all bring the show out on the road and even radio DJ’s who introduce us to their music. This week we’re shining the spotlight on someone who doesn’t have Nashville dreams, but rather, is a fellow radio DJ from Connecticut and host of @thenashvillesound on 88.7 FM WNHU Joe Markowski!
