Aaron Raitiere has been compared to legends from John Prine to Shel Silverstein for his eccentric, anything-goes approach to songwriting. But the Kentucky native also knows his way around writing a hit: Ella Langley, Miranda Lambert, and Lady Gaga have all covered his songs. In this rambunctious, irreverent conversation in the Nashville Now cabin, Raitiere lets us into his songwriting process and also shares some behind-the-scenes tales of his friendship with the late Bob Weir and the lost project they were working on before the Grateful Dead icon’s death.

It’s a snapshot of a woman who bravely took control of her career and, as she titled one of her albums, changed the whole thing.

Will Hoge and Dave Hause, two of roots music’s most incisive songwriters, join Nashville Now live onstage at the Mile of Music Festival in Appleton, Wisconsin, for one of our most charged conversations yet.

Onstage at Mile of Music, one of the U.S.’s must-attend boutique festivals, Hoge and Hause tell the stories behind songs like Hoge’s “Whose God Is This” and Hause’s “Tarnish” — and perform them live too. Nashville Now and host Joseph Hudak put listeners right in the room with two artists who aren’t afraid to speak truth to power.
