The Real Country Podcast by Nikki in Nashville
Real Country in Nashville and all of my content channels exist to bridge the gap between mainstream country and the ‘left of center crowd’, keeping the more traditional sound alive - Americana, Texas Country, Honky Tonk…you name it. Not the stuff with snap tracks and trap beats. There's more than what's played on country radio, and we highlight the music and artists that make it so.
