Liz & Scotty's Poddy: Episode 88 - "Country Music In 2025 With Kenny Jay"
from Clear 99 On Demand · host Zimmer Radio
We really enjoyed this visit with Kenny Jay about what Country Music in 2025 may look like. Kenny is a guy we love working with at Clear 99. He works with radio stations now, but has worked with artists like Morgan Wallen and Hardy on the record label/artists management side of things. We asked Kenny to come up with a couple of trends he see's for the format in 2025. Not just things that would be important for us as radio people, but things you would find interesting too. It's a great "peek behind the curtain", and we think you'll enjoy it too. (:18) Setup (1:41) Kenny's credentials (3:30) A brief overview of Country music in 2024, and how things may shift in 2025. (6:08) A couple of new artists to watch for...Ty Myers & Hudson Westbrook. (10:44) Where Country Radio and "Nashville" may have gotten off-track in the past few years. (12:06) The unique story behind the success of Ella Langley and "You Look Like You Love Me". (18:10) Kenny talks glowingly of the Clear 99 audience. (18:42) Kassi Ashton (21:56) The Zach Bryan personal drama, and how it might affect his career. (23:57) Kenny talks about The Blue Note, and how lucky we are to have it in our backyard.
