Country musician JD Shelburne joins us at the 7-minute mark.

Having kids and coming back to visit the University of Kentucky What are you drinking? How would you describe your music style? Can you explain how you got into music and the impact of your grandmother’s passing? How important were those days of playing in an empty church sanctuary? Who/what type of music did you grow up with or influenced you? How big of an impact did Kentucky and your hometown of Taylorsville have on you? Your journey in music, how difficult was it for you to make that jump into this being a career?What pushed you to go full-time What’s it like for you to perform, because you’ve received honors for how often you play? Is there a favorite place you’ve been/played? How different is being in a club or at an event compared to say a tour? Getting to play in Kentucky and why is that so important to you? Your latest album is Straight from Kentucky, what can folks expect when they hear that? Besides a few different hairstyles, how has your music evolved over the years? Giving back, whether that’s raising money for various charities or playing back in your hometown, why is that so big for you? What can folks expect from you in 2022?
