You don't get much more "alt Nashville" than Webb Wilder. That's because he speaks to the vagaries of the human heart from an honest non-city perspective (though city folk are invited in too). He's been making this music for 30+ years and has been a composer, syndicated show host and all-around promoter of Americana music, however you define it. Nothing dry or dusty about him or his music--it lives, it breathes, it's honest and direct, it speaks to me and you. "Roots music for the rockers and Rock music for the Roots crowd".
