Jenny Don’t and Kelly Halliburton of Jenny Don’t and the Spurs grace today's episode of The Alt-Country Show. The group's impeccable style is as finely tuned as their blend of indie rock and traditional country, infused with a distinctive Western charm.

The band's sound is a combination of influences from their members, Jenny Don’t (vocals/guitar), Kelly Halliburton (bass), Christopher March (guitar), and Buddy Weeks (drums).

Hailing from the Pacific Northwest, they discuss their latest album Broken Hearted Blue, touring, making music videos, and their upcoming appearance at AmericanaFest this September.

Renowned for their extensive touring and unwavering commitment to authenticity in the Americana scene, Jenny and Kelly offer insights into their creative journey and the stories woven into their music.

Welcome to another exciting episode of The Alt-Country Show! Today, we are beyond thrilled to introduce a very special guest, a true gem in the music industry—Nicky Diamonds. Nicky isn’t just another talented musician; he’s a genuine soul whose moving voice, alluring guitar skills, and suave songwriting have completely captivated us and his ever-growing fanbase.

Drawing inspiration from family stories and church hymn books, Nicky’s heartfelt lyrics and clever melodies weave a compelling narrative that deeply resonates with audiences. His latest album release, ‘Perdido En La Salsa,’ showcases his incredible talent and has kept him busy on the road, performing numerous shows and winning over hearts across the country.

Our personal journey with Nicky began with his track “Tirame Un Paro,” and we knew immediately that we had to invite him to be a part of The Alt-Country Show(case). Since then, Nicky has skyrocketed to success in the Country, Americana, and Folk scenes, earning praise from both fellow artists and fans alike.

In today’s episode, we are also joined by a special guest host, the gifted songwriter Nathan K. Nathan, a Michigan-born artist now based in Nashville, brings you in with his melancholic yet hopeful music. Nathan spends his days recording, producing, and arranging strings for other artists while crafting his own poignant tunes.

Together, we dive deep into the making of ‘Perdido En La Salsa’ and get an exclusive sneak peek into some details of Nicky’s upcoming album. We chat about how we all met at The Alt-Country Show(case). We also discuss the incredible experience of recording in Willie Nelson’s legendary studio, and Nicky shares what it was like performing with the one and only Kermit the Frog.

Of course, in true Alt-Country Show fashion, we get off topic quite a bit, sharing lots of laughs and memorable moments. This podcast episode is full of love, good times, and the kind of candid conversation that makes Nicky Diamonds such a beloved figure in the music world.

Tune in and join us for an unforgettable chat with the incomparable @thenickydiamonds_ and our wonderful guest host, @nathankmusic! 💎
