On Episode 287 of the Raised Rowdy Podcast, hosts Nick Tressler and Kurt Ozan sit down with Danielle Bradbery to discuss her new single, “Poetic,” and the latest chapter of her career. Danielle shares how the heartfelt outside song came to her through fellow The Core artist Baylee Lynn and why they kept its production simple to let the story and vocal take center stage. She also takes the guys back to her remarkably detailed journey from being a painfully shy Texas teenager to auditioning for The Voice, earning three chair turns and winning Season 4 with Blake Shelton at only 16 years old. Danielle reflects on growing up in the public eye, learning to write alongside Caitlyn Smith and Ashley Gorley and finding her identity through country, pop, R&B and Spanish influences. She also opens up about becoming an independent artist after more than a decade with a label, learning the business side of her career, mentoring younger artists and navigating the constant pressure to create authentic social media content.

On Episode 286 of the Raised Rowdy Podcast, host Nick Tressler sits down with Australian singer-songwriter and rodeo cowboy Wade Forster. Wade shares how growing up on a 60,000-acre cattle station shaped his music, why Australia and Texas feel like cousins and how a Tyler Childers cover helped introduce him to American audiences. They dive into his new album, The Aftermath, a more reflective follow-up to the rowdy Gooseneck Party that captures the Sunday-morning reality after a long night. Wade discusses opening the record with a poem, the story behind “Anytime, Anywhere, Antoinette” and learning to embrace co-writing after creating most of his early catalog alone. He also reflects on how rodeo and rugby shaped his fearless live performances, his friendship with Treaty Oak Revival, memorable encounters with Cody Johnson and Luke Combs and the significance of his upcoming Grand Ole Opry debut. Wade closes by sharing his dream of one day buying his family’s cattle station and giving back to the parents who raised him through years of drought.
