Original Stories Told Through Country Music 

My brother-in-law says that I am a country gal with a Ph.D. in urban. I believe he may be on to something. The songs and stories I write are based on my personal observations of country life and its relationship to city life. The twist in my understanding comes from the mix of having lived in three distinct regional areas of the United States: the West, the Midwest, and the South.

The Blue Ridge Dream stories come from my having lived in the Blue Ridge and experiencing first-hand the mountain top, its stories, music, and its people. Sometimes, the experience runs so deep, that I feel I was born there. However, the emotion, in part, stems from a Scottish heritage and infectious pioneer spirit. It is this same spirit that motivated individuals to immigrate across America in search of a better life, and it is this spirit that is the heart of country music. Whether you are a Virginian, a Texan, or, as I am, a Californian, the rhythm of country music and that of our internal music is one and the same. It is the beating of the heart.

K Wilder Country Music opens the door to a wider, wilder world of distinctive country storytelling with a theatrical flair. Built on a neotraditional country foundation, it incorporates touches of bluegrass, blues, rock, and swing, taking listeners on an emotional, musical ride.

There is no filler! No, after the third song, “same ole, same ole.” Every song is an original story written with a sense of humor, sung in a neotraditional style with an edgy country groove. You are not simply listening—you become part of the story.

If you enjoy the storytelling of Tom T. Hall and Jimmy Buffett, the musical spirit of Dwight Yoakam, and the traditional vocals of Alan Jackson and George Strait, I invite you to listen—
