Nashville-based Americana/roots rock singer-songwriter Scott Clay released his album, Let It All Lay Bare, independently on September 23, 2022.  Recorded partially at Hall of Justice in Seattle and partially remotely, the album was produced/engineered by Mike Davis (Modest Mouse, The Head and the Heart), mixed by Steven Aguilar, and mastered by Rachel Field. Let It All Lay Bare showcases themes important to Clay: relationships, stunning displays of natural beauty, and even famous historical events. The collection of songs that comprise his fifth full-length gives listeners a multi-faceted picture of a storyteller in his element. During the pandemic, he visited a number of national parks, bringing his video camera with him to document the experiences. As mentioned previously, Clay filmed music videos for several of his new songs in national parks, including locations in Arizona, Colorado, Florida, Utah, and Washington, with cinematographers Spencer Johnson and Britt Warner. “Film production allowed me to express my creativity in a different way while everything was closed down in the pandemic,” Clay reflects. “Instead of being isolated, I used the time to explore both nature and my creative outlets.”

Today's episode features Micah Walk who is a singer/songwriter based out of Springfield, Illinois. He has released multiple albums both as a solo act and as a member of the midwest Americana trio The Deep Hollow whose brand of stripped down harmony driven tunes began by winning the American Songwriter Song Contest in 2014. Micah’s latest album, Among the Stars (2021), was produced by Sadler Vaden, Grammy-winning member of Jason Isbell & the 400 Unit. It was recorded during the height of the pandemic a time in which many full time musicians like Micah found themselves unable to tour and work like usual, but the silver lining for Micah was being able to pull together an A list team of musicians to bring his songs to life.
