Ep.30 Nicki Bluhm: Rockstar Farmer, Neighbor

Kelli and Sue sit down with musician and horsewoman Nicki Bluhm, also their neighbor, to talk about her new album ‘Rancho Deluxe’, her move to Neely’s Bend from urban California, viral van videos, and her journey from West Coast tours with Grateful Dead members to local “Rocky Tonk” nights with The Neely’s Band. They also discuss Nicki’s farming life, her work with horses, and a recent project that pairs musicians with environmental causes — including efforts to protect wild salmon from harmful sea‑cage farming. Of course, no show is complete without Neighborhood Notes, this time including fingerprint follies for Sue, a keyed truck for Kelli, and news that an African restaurant has opened down the Bend. Tune in and help solve all the problems of the world—cheers, y’all! More at NickiBluhm.com [https://nickibluhm.com] and FrontPorchAF.com [https://frontporchaf.com/]

Ep.29 Cory Younts of Old Crow Medicine Show: A Musician in Music City

Kelli and Sue welcome their neighbor, Old Crow Medicine Show multi-instrumentalist Cory Younts, for a relaxed conversation about growing up in Nashville, his drummer father, making a living as a musician, life on the road, and the band’s storied song “Wagon Wheel.” The episode mixes neighborhood banter, drink-of-the-day fun, local recommendations (including a burrito tip), and behind-the-scenes stories about touring, instruments, and Old Crow’s upcoming shows and new record. Keep up with the band at CrowMedicine.com [https://www.crowmedicine.com/] And no episode would be complete without Kelli’s power tools ... this time, it’s yet another chainsaw to add to her ever-growing collection. Sue doesn’t have power tools, but she did do a cameo in a music video filmed at Dee’s—as an elderly barfly. Type casting, for sure. Grab a drink, pull up a chair, and join us for a cool hang. Oh, Cory sticks around to do a bonus piano tune—watch for it on our socials. Cheers, y’all! More at CrowMedicine.com [https://www.crowmedicine.com/] and FrontPorchAF.com [https://frontporchaf.com/]
