The Real Country Podcast Volume 13 - Kelsey Waldon

Western Kentucky native and singer‑songwriter Kelsey Waldon has earned a loyal following for her honest, no‑nonsense lyrics and her commitment to real country music. 

Raised in the farming town of Monkey’s Eyebrow and steeped in bluegrass and honky‑tonk, Kelsey blends raw storytelling with a voice that cuts straight to the heart. After years of working odd jobs and paying dues in Nashville’s clubs, she’s now a critically acclaimed artist whose albums, including her new one Every Ghost, showcase life’s highs and lows with grit and grace.

In this interview, we dive into:

• Kelsey’s rural Kentucky upbringing and how it shapes her music
  
  
• Her move to Nashville and signing with John Prine’s Oh Boy Records
  
  
• The themes of working‑class resilience and family woven through her songs
  
  
• Her thoughts on staying authentic in a changing country scene
  
  
• What fans can expect from her upcoming projects
