Ryan Newell, lead guitarist for Sister Hazel, joins us to talk all things hazelnut: from their fan-centric approach to putting their music out to the masses; their natural progression in the country music genre (while still holding onto their pop-rock roots); the impressive roster of cover songs they've performed & released over the years; their yearly special events (and how COVID-19 has impacted them); the new beer "Ale For You" which has recently been launched; their latest album "Elements" which combines their last 4 EPs (“Water,” “Wind,” “Fire” & “Earth”) and how the EP approach might be the avenue in which the band continues to release new music!
