Charlotte Morris discovered her passion for this work at a young age because the fabric of her home and family life was music. Classical music, Broadway tunes, and especially folk music. “Every family car ride" says Charlotte "was filled with folk clas-sics, – Joni Mitchell, Judy Collins, Simon & Garfunkel, and Peter, Paul & Mary.”
Charlotte learned a number of instruments on her own, and be-fore she knew it, Charlotte said, “Music grew from something I loved to something I needed."
In January of 2018, Charlotte joined Lonesome Traveler – a na-tional concert tour where the cast performed the history of folk music, starting with Woody Guthrie and ending with songs
from Bob Dylan, Joni Mitchell and Joan Baez. While on the road, folk legends including Tom Chapin, George Grove (Kingston Trio), Peter Yarrow and Paul Stookey (both of Peter, Paul and Mary) performed with the cast at various venues.
Next week, Charlotte's got her own band coming with her from Nashville to play on Red Barn Radio. Put this broadcast on your calendar and plan to be with us for an evening of great music and fun conversation with Charlotte Morris

Kyle Kelly, a North Carolina native, discovered his love for music at the early age of eight. Kyle was drawn to the old classic sounds of greats such as Lynyrd Skynryd and Waylon Jennings, which inspired him to learn guitar and drums.
During college, Kyle was a pitcher for Catawba Collegebaseball team, until he suffered a career ending injury. After recovering, Kyle found perseverance in music. As a self taught musician, Kyle began to write songs about his life, his truck, and his friends. Not long after, Kyle began to play live shows across North Carolina.
Kyle Kelly released his debut record “Lake Weekend” in July 2020, which is seeing a tremendous amount of success on Spotify. In response to the graciously warm reception by thousands of listeners, Kyle released a follow up music video to “Lake Weekend”, where you can see his love for classic cars, friends, and having an all around good time!
From classic cars to classic country music, this 28 year old country music artist is a true throwback, embracing the look and sounds of the ‘70s and ‘80s. A nostalgic feel is often reflected in Kyle’s music while still implementing his own personal touch of a modern spin.

Cliff Westfall was born and raised in Owensboro, not far from tiny Rosine, Kentucky where Bill Monroe inventedbluegrass music, and he grew up listening endlessly to Kentuckians like The Everly Brothers who changed the path of popular music. Though he got his startplaying cowpunk music in Kentucky, he soon left his home state behind for the bright lights of New York City. “The term ‘country music’ is almost a misnomer anyway,” argues Westfall. “A big part of the original audience was people a generation or two removed from the farm who had migrated to the city. People more familiar with factory work and honky tonks than with the back end of a mule, you know? The music they wanted to hear was as much about cutting loose, dancing and having a good time as it was about sadness and hardship. That was kind of the story of my family. Or maybe I’m just attractedto neon lights, I don’t know.”

Safari Room is the indie rock outfit and brainchild of AlecKoukol (Omaha-native, now Nashville-local).
“We’re not that different you and me,” Alec Koukol repeats throughout the swelling bridge of “Garden Talker,” and that line might as well be a mission statement for Safari Room. Koukol describes “human connection as a founding cornerstone” as the project’s ethos, and that message is a through-line for Safari Room’s entire discography so far. The band is known,particularly in Nashville, for their special brand of indie rock, their live shows and the sense of community that comes from singing Safari Room’s songs together. That’s Safari Room’s hope, and that’s what they’re going for on their as-yet-untitled third LP. These songs are the band’s biggest, boldest, and most personal yet; in other words, they’re Safari Room at their very best. - Zac Djamoos

The American south isn't just Brent Cobb's home. It's hismuse, too. A Georgia native, he fills his Grammy-nominated songwriting with the sounds and stories of an area that's been home to southern rockers, soulsingers, country legends, and bluesmen. Cobb has a name for that rich tapestry of music — “southern eclectic" — and he offers up his own version of it with his newest album, Southern Star.
“Down here, there's a lot going on and there's nothing going on at the same time," he says. “You've got all these different cultures in the south, and everything is mixed in together. Otis Redding and Little Richard were from the same town in Georgia. So were the Allman Brothers. James Brown and Ray Charles grew up right down the road. All these sounds reflect the South itself, and that music has influenced the whole world. It's definitelyinfluenced mine."
Filled with country-soul songwriting, laid backgrooves, and classic storytelling, Southern Star distills the best parts of southern culture into 10 of the strongest songs in Cobb's catalog.
