On this Shantell Ogden Interview, what it’s like to be a truly independent artist, highs and lows and expectation roller coaster of being in Nashville for 15 years… why she never considered being a side person, working as a music supervisor, a low point she had and how it impacted her life, why she works with session players and doesn’t play on her own records, caring about others, cow troughs, ending relationships and more. VERY sincere and kind vibes

The work ethic instilled in Shantell from growing up on a working dairy farm has taken her far. Her songs have received airplay on more than 800 country and Americana radio stations internationally, reaching Top 2 chart positions both in the U.S. and Europe, as well as appearing in featured films. She has 7 solo LPs, has music supervised several independent films, won Songwriter of the Year & Americana Album of the Year (“The Road That Drives Me”), and has toured Europe 8 times
