234 – Sydney Hansen – Artist and Veterans Advocate

234 – Sydney Hansen – Artist and Veterans Advocate

When I think country music with a southern vibe, I don’t think Duluth, Minnesota. However, that is where Sydney Hansen hails from and even at a young age is hard at work building her career.

Her latest single, “Fallin”, has a real soulful feel that that I found authentic when music seems to be manufactured. Sydney, goes to school, is on the dance and is working on her career. I enjoyed getting to talk with her.

Sydney’s support for Veterans comes from the heart. Her brother served in the military and seeing him serves fueled her desire to give back to Active Duty Service Members and Veterans. It was refreshing to listen to her perspective on military service.

Thank you Sydney for talking with me. I appreciate what you have done for Veterans.

233 – Jim Musgrave – Home Defense Bar

Jim Musgrave served in the U.S. Army for 20+ years and retired as a First Sergeant. After retiring, Jim worked in a couple of different businesses before developing a different kind of home defense product.

Home Defense Bar (https://homedefensebar.com/) is a system that is 100% made in the USA by a Veteran Owned Business. Jim had an idea and worked to perfect a security system that was easy to install, operate, and add a layer of protection to one’s home.

The story of Jim transitioning out of the Army and then into what he is doing is similar to what many Veterans experience. The difference here is that Jim never quit and always kept working through the challenges of bringing a product to market.

I am going to evaluate the Home Defense Bar’s effectiveness. Jim is betting that I will not be able to compromise his system:)

You can order the Home Defense Bar directly from https://homedefensebar.com/.

Thank you Jim for talking with me! I look forward to testing your system!

232 – Chris Turner – Hearts for Warriors

232 – Chris Turner – Hearts for Warriors

Like Tarrish Potter, Marine Veteran Chris Turner performed a month ago at the 2021 Tennessee Veteran Launch Event. He is coming back Friday February 12th to headline the Hearts for Warriors Event at The Boondox in Columbia, TN.

After we both had a chuckle about Jodie, we talked about how lessons learned in the Marine Corps apply to being in a band and going through good and bad times together. A leader has to be at the front and set the example. A leader also has to own the mistakes and issues at all times.

One of the songs you will hear Friday night was co-written by Navy Veteran Heather Clark. Getting to write this song with Heather has been a journey. They can’t wait to perform it for the first time February 12th.

I really enjoyed getting to listen to Chris talk about how his music and non-profit work go hand in hand with his purpose in life and music. Thank Chris for talking with me, I can’t wait to hear you perform again!

You can find out more about Chris by going to www.christurnermusic.com

231 – Tarrish Potter – Hearts for Warriors

Tarrish Potter was first on Oscar Mike Radio a month ago. We met through her support of the 2021 Tennessee Veterans Launch Event.

It was at The Boondox that Tarrish first performed the song Unknown Soldier she wrote with her mother. It was surprise at the end of her set and the whole crowd got quiet when Tarrish told us the story about how this song came to be. She has some new music she will be performing at the Hearts for Warriors Event February 12th 2021 at The Boondox in Columbia, TN.

Additionally Tarrish is working on a new EP and a music video abouit Luke Bryan that will all be in motion this year. Does anyone know who Luke Bryan is????? 😉

Thank you for talking with me Tarrish.

230 – Heather Clark – Hearts for Warriors

Heather Clark was just on Oscar Mike Radio. She was on for 226 – Namaslay. She has been nothing but Oscar Mike since we talked last month. So I had her back on to talk about her support for the Hearts for Warriors Event February 12th, 2021 at The Boondox.

Hearts for Warriors is an event to support Veterans artists in the Nashville area. COVID-19 has hit the music industry hard. Michelle Baxter who was on 229, is coordinating the entire event and my colleague Danielle Rocco and I will emcee.

Not only is Heather performing a song she co-wrote with Chris Turner, she has a diverse set of goals she is working to accomplish in the near future. It is amazing to watch fellow Veterans pursue their purpose. I believe that Heather has her purpose, and we are all getting a front row seat for her story.

Thank you Heather! You can watch Heather and Chris premiere their song at the Hearts for Warriors Event.

229 – Michelle Baxter – Hearts for Warriors

229 – Michelle Baxter – Hearts for Warriors

I met Michelle Baxter at the 2020 Irreverent Warriors Benefit held at The Boondox in Columbia, TN. Michelle is the Director of Booking for MC1 Nashville and Road Katz Agency. She has done a lot of work with Veterans who are transitioning into musicians. Chris Turner is an example of such an artist.

Michelle has been working hard to coordinate the Hearts for Warriors event on February 12th, 2021. This event is being held at The Boondox in Columbia, TN. All proceeds are going to benefit Veterans Artists. There will be BBQ being sponsored by JJs BBQ of Columbia, TN as well as raffles and other prizes! This is a great way to see artists up close and personal while having a great time.

I want to thank Michelle for coming on to talk with me. Danielle Rocco and I am looking forward to seeing this be another successful event!
