Jaid Joice: Wisconsin Roots, Big Dreams & The Voice Nashville Needs to Hear

On Episode 311 of Outside The Round, Matt Burrill sits down with one of Nashville's fastest-rising independent artists, Jaid Joice. From growing up playing bars in Wisconsin to building a loyal online following and preparing to release her debut record, Jaid shares the journey that's been years in the making. The conversation dives into her early mentorship from legendary songwriter Josh Thompson, finding her sound through artists like Led Zeppelin, Tedeschi Trucks Band, Chris Stapleton, and the Allman Brothers, and why vulnerability, mental health, and authenticity are at the heart of every song she writes. Jaid also opens up about life in Nashville, the importance of community, her love for the Franklin and Leiper's Fork music scene, and the stories behind fan-favorite unreleased songs like "Pretty in the Dark" and "The Joker." Matt and Jaid also discuss the realities of building an audience through social media, recording her debut album live with producer Mike Lepento, touring with Crooked Deal, opening for Muscadine Bloodline, and why faith, hard work, and staying true to yourself continue to guide every step of her career. If you've been looking for the next artist to add to your playlist before everyone else discovers them, this is the episode for you.
