Jake & Shelby: Healing the Inner Child, Singing with Michael Bublé, and the Road to the Ryman

from Jrodconcerts: The Podcast · host Jamie A Rodriguez

In this episode of Jrodconcerts The Podcast, Jamie sits down with Nashville’s indie-pop sensations Jake & Shelby. From their shared roots in Hendersonville to gaining over a million followers and the attention of superstars like Michael Bublé, their journey feels like a "one in a million" miracle. We go behind the viral moments to discuss the duo's debut album, Learning To Love, and the soul-baring story behind their single, "Morning Light." Shelby opens up for the first time about her personal history in the foster care system, the "uncomfortable" necessity of vulnerable songwriting, and how music has served as a gentle tool for healing her inner child. Inside the Episode: The Long Odds: How two kids from the same hometown beat the statistics to build a global music career. Songwriting as a Superpower: Why being "shy" is actually an advantage when looking within for lyrics. The Viral Shift: Navigating the transition from social media snippets to being named one of NPR Music’s best new albums. Backstage Moments: The story of singing with Michael Bublé at Bridgestone Arena. The Ryman Dream: Their ultimate goal for the future of their live show and the message they want listeners to take away. Support a Great Cause: A portion of the streaming proceeds from "Morning Light" is donated to the Cape Cod Foster Closet. Stream the track now to help support children in the foster care system. What’s Coming in March: Stay tuned to Jrodconcerts! Next month, we’re heading to Florida for Okeechobee Music Festival and staying busy in Nashville for CRS (Country Radio Seminar).
