About Tales from the Front Row: The Raised Rowdy Podcast
Tales from the Front Row the Raised Rowdy podcast about the people who live breathe and play music. Country. Rock. Americana. The artists, writers, and industry folks who are in the van, on the bus, and on stage when the lights come up.
These are real conversations about writing songs, playing shows, blowing moments, catching breaks, and figuring it out as you go. We talk touring stories, career pivots, viral moments, the nights that change everything, and the ones that humble you real fast.
If you care about how artists are built, not just how they’re marketed, this show is for you. It’s for fans who want more than singles and headlines, artists trying to find their lane, and anyone who loves being close enough to feel the kick drum and hear the stories you don’t get from the stage.
Tales from the Front Row is about music culture, community, and the long road between the first song and the sold out room. Hosted by Raised Rowdy Founder Nick Tressler (Nicky T) and Multi instrumentalist Kurt Ozan (currently touring with Luke Combs). Just real stories from both sdies of the front row.
