Season 17 Finale

 

We’re closing out Season 17 with a voice that knows how to capture a moment—and turn it into a song you don’t forget.

 

This week on Backstory Sessions, we sit down with Chas Collins to talk about the story behind his music, including the emotion and imagery woven into his latest release, “She Gave Me That Look.” It’s the kind of song that pulls you in instantly—one glance, one feeling, one moment that says everything without saying a word.

 

In this episode, Chas shares the inspiration behind his songwriting, the real-life experiences that shape his lyrics, and how he brings storytelling to life through music. We talk about the balance between modern country and classic influence, the importance of authenticity, and what it means to create songs that connect on a deeper level.

 

As we wrap this season, this conversation feels like the perfect send-off—honest, grounded, and rooted in the kind of storytelling that Backstory Sessions is all about. See you in May!

This week on Backstory Sessions, we sit down with Lee Newton to talk about music that doesn’t just entertain—but means something. With deep roots in traditional country and a passion for preserving its storytelling soul, Lee brings authenticity, strength, and heart to everything she sings.

 

In this episode, Lee shares the journey behind her music, including the emotion and purpose woven into her latest work and collaborations. We dive into the importance of honoring the women who paved the way in country music, the responsibility of carrying that legacy forward, and how today’s artists can stay grounded in truth while still evolving their sound.

 

From powerful vocals to powerful stories, this conversation is a reminder that the best music doesn’t just come from talent—it comes from experience, resilience, and heart.
