The Marinade with Jason Earle

Introducing: Marinade Moments, the show where Jason Earle tells stories from a life well-attended.

This is Episode 137 and our guest is Charles Wesley Godwin. Charles is a singer and songwriter from West Virginia whose sophomore album How the Mighty Fall followed in the critical and commercial steps of his excellent, beloved debut Seneca. Godwin has gone from a relatively unknown songwriter prior to his first record just a few short years ago to filling bigger and bigger rooms. His music comes from a place of perseverance, honesty, and work ethic. He's a damn fine songwriter, and as you will hear in this conversation, an absolute delight of a human.

JD Clayton is a songwriter from Fort Smith, Arkansas, whose full length debut record Long Way From Home was released in January of 2023. Clayton has a clear way of communicating the intricacies of life and this record is a gorgeous expression of that ability. We caught up with JD at Bonnaroo 2023. Y'all, I wanna take a second to thank you for supporting this Marinade thing.

We caught up with JD in the media tent at Bonnaroo. The day before Morgan Wade and Charley Crockett were milling about. Tyler Childers walked by the spot I was working right after my conversation with JD. I have a feeling we will be talking about JD Clayton in the same breath as those folks before you know it. None of this is possible without you listening, supporting, and spreading the word.
