In this episode of Outside The Round, host Matt Burrill is joined by two badass women making waves in Nashville’s country music scene — Aniston Pate and Delaney Ramsdell. Hailing from Texas and bonded by their roots and realness, these artists break down the mission behind their collaborative movement Texas Too, a showcase that spotlights and supports women from the Lone Star State now making music in Music City. They share their journeys to Nashville, their artistic growth, and how they’ve leaned on each other in a business that isn’t always easy for women to navigate. From laughs about first impressions to serious takes on what needs to change in the industry, this conversation shines a light on two rising voices who are building community, embracing independence, and championing women in country music — one Texas-style banger at a time.

In this episode of Outside The Round, host Matt Burrill chops it up with rising country artist Bryan Andrews, a bold new voice out of Carrollton, Missouri. From his early days welding and dipping Skoal Wintergreen to blowing up on TikTok during the pandemic, Bryan shares his raw, unfiltered journey into country music. But what sets him apart isn’t just the music—it’s his willingness to speak openly about being a left-leaning artist in a genre dominated by conservative voices. Bryan dives into what it means to challenge the narrative from the inside, how he navigates small-town values with progressive ideals, and why he believes there’s more room in country music for open-minded conversation than people think. With plenty of laughs, real talk, and a spotlight on his new single “Grizzly Can,” this one’s for anyone who loves country music but doesn’t always fit the mold.

In this episode of Outside the Round, host Matt Burrill welcomes legendary country songwriter Roger Springer for an honest and heartfelt conversation about the craft, the culture, and the community of country music. Roger shares his journey from small-town Oklahoma to Nashville in 1990—landing a record deal within just two months—right at the heart of the '90s country explosion. After losing that first deal, Roger transitioned into full-time songwriting, building a legacy through hits with legends like Mark Chesnutt and carving a space for himself in country music history. He reflects on learning from the greats, the grind of life on the road, and the ever-changing landscape of the Nashville music industry. Now, Roger’s influence extends into the new generation of traditional-leaning country artists. He plays a vital role in mentoring and producing projects for rising voices like Jake Worthington, Will Bannister, and Colton Dawson—young talents reviving the spirit of '90s country with modern energy. Throughout the conversation, Roger emphasizes the power of simplicity, truth, and personal experience in songwriting—and why staying passionate about the craft is what keeps him going strong after all these years.

In this episode of Outside The Round, Matt Burrill hangs out with Nashville’s favorite Canadian transplant, Luke White – part content creator, part podcaster, part suburban dad, part feral raccoon. They get into Luke’s journey from a small farm town in Canada to taking over Nashville’s content scene with a camera, a dream, and probably a pair of Crocs.They cover everything from the absurdity of Facebook Marketplace, to building a brand while staying genuinely funny (on purpose), to the wild future of AI in country music. Luke opens up about balancing memes, marriage, music, and his mild caffeine addiction. If you like country music and questionable internet humor, this episode is basically your spirit animal.

In this episode of Outside the Round, host Matt Burrill sits down with Texas country-rock rising star Aaron McBee to dive into his roots, his sound, and his debut project 'Who I Am'. Hailing from outside Fort Worth and now part of the Lubbock scene, Aaron shares how growing up around rodeo culture and traditional country music helped shape his no-holds-barred approach to storytelling. He talks about finding his musical identity after a college baseball injury redirected his path, and how influences from grunge, Southern rock, and the red dirt scene converge in his music. The conversation touches on building a live band, the power of collaboration with producers, and why he prefers to chase "real" over "viral." From early touring memories to the songwriting process behind tracks like “Porch Light” and “Scream,” Aaron brings an honest and refreshing perspective on what it means to carve out a career in country music on your own terms.
