This week’s episode features Todd Cassetty (@toddcassetty), the visionary behind Song Suffragettes — the all-female singer/songwriter round on a mission to champion women in Nashville.

Back in 2013, only 8% of country radio airplay featured female artists. Todd saw the challenge and decided to do something about it. In 2014, he launched Song Suffragettes — not just to showcase women’s songwriting talents, but to give them a real opportunity to be heard in an industry that had historically overlooked them.

From working in TV and record promotion to managing artists like Scotty McCreery, Todd’s career has touched every corner of the country music world. And over 50 Song Suffragettes have gone on to land a record deal with notable alumnae including Kelsea Ballerini, Lainey Wilson, Carly Pearce, Megan Moroney and more.

Tune in as we talk about building a movement, breaking barriers for women in country, and what’s next for Song Suffragettes in year 11.

Musician Jabe Burgess returns as the first repeat guest on the podcast, discussing his journey over the past year and the evolution of his alter ego, "The Bad Hombre." He shares insights into his songwriting process, testing new material on Broadway before recording, and the challenges of mixing and refining his upcoming album. We get into some personal topics, including anxiety and panic attacks, and how those experiences have shaped his music. Jabe's new album is set for release today, March 7th. Give it a listen!

Special guest Sheyna Gee joins the show to talk about the Broadway music scene, the realities of making it in the industry, and the power of TikTok in building a fanbase. Sheyna shares her journey from California to Nashville, her experiences navigating record deals, and how she turned a 2019 song into a viral hit. We also dive into the challenges of recording, finding the right producer, and the unfiltered truth about life as a working musician. Plus, some hilarious insights into Broadway nightlife and social media success.
