Today on Chit & Chat I have the opportunity to talk with Sarah Ashley is an independent singer songwriter based in Nashville Tennessee, we talked about food for a little bit and who doesn't love food? She shared about early years in which her musical journey begin by banging on pots and pans through out the house.  

He musical style is modern country rock, which came from multiple influences during her childhood listening to: The Mamas and the Papas, The Beach Boys, Patsy Cline, and various classic 1940’s country artists. Sarah’s parents always had some music playing in the background at home while she was growing up, in fact her father wired the entire house with speakers inside and out.  
 

• Sarah remembers getting in trouble when she was at her grandparents house (on her father's side of the family.)  Her punishment would be to sit on the organ bench. Little did she know that her "timeouts" would turn into Sarah and her grandfather playing a duet!  Sarah’s grandfather on clarinet and she on the family's organ.
   
• Sarah now thinks it paid off being the only girl with so many rowdy boys in her family!  She came to realize looking back that what she had thought was a punishment would turn out to be one of her most precious memories and may have lead to her pursuits in music.

For years, she have been told, ‘stop dreaming, get back to earth and learn how to become successful with a 9-5 career.’ she would listen to these pieces of advice whilst continuing to write songs when everyone else slept.  As the years went by, the voice in my head said my purpose in life is connected to music. It told me not to give up, however my fear and insecurities held me back until the 2020 pandemic. It was this time that made me realise how priceless time really is.  During lockdown, Ewelina went for long walk along the coast line as she was walking, she came across a stone in the shape of a heart. She believes this was a sign from God to carry on with what I love doing - music. She began working harder and harder more that ever before so I could improve. She has learned to believe in herself, no matter what others said. Ewelina has learned to love herself and embrace her progress, her voice is no unique. I hope you enjoy our time together. Our podcast spotlight interview comes from a while back from episode #56. Sarah Nations, joined me and we had a great conversation. She has face many trails and tribulations along the way, and she is the author of a book called, "Trauma Queen." Please go back and check out the entire episode when you have a moment.

I am so excited to have on Francesca Tarantino she a singer, musician, and actress.  She was born in Pennsylvania & moved to Florida just before her 8th birthday. She has always loved to sing, often belting out classic rock tunes while running around the house or riding in the car.  She got her first taste for performing on stage in second grade, when she closed out her school’s talent show with “I Wanna Rock and Roll All Nite” by KISS.  A bit later she moved to Florida & started in a new school that gave her the opportunity to learn about acting, singing, & theatre.  Though a little nervous, with the guidance of her voice teacher, Francesca decided to audition for the lower school’s production of Beauty and the Beast and was cast as a “silly girl’ and Belle understudy. She continued with musical productions but music called her. Francesca was introduced to the guitar by her father when she was still a toddler.  Her fascination grew and soon she’d have an acoustic and then an electric all her own!  Currently she’s learning how to play lead & is practicing some epic riffs.  She’s even teaching her dad a few! Francesca has played some local gigs in and around Orlando and has participated in several open mics. & has sung the National Anthem at several sporting events for her school. She covers a wide range of artists such as: The Beatles, Stevie Nicks, KISS, and much more! She is currently writing her own material with DME Orlando. Francesca is eager and hardworking. She has big dreams and is grateful for any opportunity that comes her way. I am also doing a podcast Spotlight as I head back to Episode #31, I am replaying a few min, with comedian Ken Davis as he was inspired by a teacher at a very young age that pushed into a very lengthy career. The music i am sharing today and their websites are by: Francesca T- Tragedy; her website is Francescamusic.com & Spotify   Steve Aliment & Annie O’Neill; Moving Down the Line  You can find Steve on Spotify,   Sundae & Mr. Goessl: Last Night was the Last Time Their website is Sundaeandmrgoessl.com   The Long & Short of It: They are an Australian band, have them schedule for an interview soon and I am playing their song: Just One Moon Their website it thelongandshortofit.com.au   Thank you so much for all my sponsors who have been a part of this amazing podcasting journey.

Katrina, says she started singing around age 5, when she received the gift of a Fisher Price karaoke machine. She grew up watching country music awards shows with her mother.

She also was encouraged by her grandparents, both of whom have musical talent.

Her first public appearance was at an open mic event when she was 14.

“It was in the old Brownsville elementary school that’s now a community center,” she says. “People were singing gospel and old-time country music.”

“My grandpa (Bill Whetsel of Mt. Pleasant) organized the Mount Tabor Homecoming,” she says. The event is a fundraiser for Mount Tabor Cemetery in Springfield Township, Fayette County. “He said, ‘You want a shot at singing, I’ll give you a shot.’”

Years later came gigs at other area fundraisers, outdoor concerts and clubs. She’s also headlined the annual Kecksburg UFO Festival. From starting with a guitar and karaoke tracks, she’s gone on to assemble a five-piece band, playing both original songs and covers.

Whetsel’s short-term career goal is to open for bigger-name country acts. In the long term, she wants to get signed to a record label and entertain military troops on a USO tour, in honor of family members who have served.

Whetsel names Reba McEntire as her favorite country performer, "Definitely Reba is my number one. She’s my mom’s favorite and mine as well,” she says. “In my opinion, she’s the queen of country music, because she changes with the times while still staying true to her country roots.”

She has been nominated for and won a number of awards, I don't believe there is a limit on what she can accomplish in the music industry. She was a awesome guest and I hope we can stay in touch and continue to share her music.

Ladies and gentlemen, This episode is a tribute to a guy who has been in the music industry for nearly 40 years, and since the age of 9 he has has a love for music. He love playing, singing, teaching, sharing his words of wisdom and loves collaborating with artists from all over the world. This episode is all about my friend Raymond Hayden, Today I playing a bunch of his songs including:

God's of War- in which he collaborated with Savannah Taylor,

Bold- his wife, Jessica Lynne Witty joins in with him on amazing duet together,

The Way- with his good friend, the Chris Jones Band,

I am playing one of his solo pieces called, "Blazing Maple",

Rain, with his group Accidental Grace,

We Can Make It, Inspired by the struggle this pandemic has caused our industry, He wrote a song and put a call out on Facebook for my fellow PNW artists to collaborate on it. That call was answered quickly by 10 other artists and together we collaborated on what is now a beacon of hope…our anthem, “We Can Make it!” This song was written, collaborated on, mixed and mastered in five days. We dedicate this song to all of our fellow artists and industry peers who have been deeply affected by this pandemic. Collectively, our goal is to shed light on hope and remind our fellow human beings that we can make it through any obstacle…together. Our true power shines when we come together as a community selflessly to love one another.

Welcome back to the podcast Dr. Katariina Rosenblatt, She was on the podcast about a year ago and she is back to share about her organization what they have been doing, and I wanted to ask her about the movie the Sound of Freedom but a little bit about her. Dr. Kat has a personal story of human trafficking from the time she was just 13 years of age to 17. Throughout her early life, she experienced several separate trafficking scenarios; recruited through a friend in her middle school to more organized crime trafficking rings. Her experiences centered in the metropolitan area of Miami, FL. After escaping trafficking and drug addiction, she went on to experience teen pregnancy followed by a twenty-year abusive relationship. With so many triumphs over unbeatable obstacles, Katariina is now a much sought-after speaker and trainer in the areas of human trafficking and domestic violence as well as an inspirational leader to many women all over the world. Dr. Kat also works as a consultant for the Department of Homeland Security on their Blue Campaign, conducting in person trainings to law enforcement through FLETC (Federal Law Enforcement Training Centre) and aiding to develop the Blue Campaign materials targeting potential identification of victims of human trafficking. Kat also works as a consultant for DOJ – Office of Victim’s of Crime OVC NHTTAC and is on their expert training & consultant team as well as a survivor fellow in helping to develop promising practices for programs to serve survivors nationally. She has an incredible story and I am so excited to have her back and to hear her story and the tremendous impact her and organization are making.
