Phantom Power Artist Hour

Alabama native and Nashville artist Luke Wood has been in the V4V space for about 6 months, bringing a husky voice of Americana, empathy and storytelling. Although he might have a similar background to most musicians, he's certainly not typical in his delivery. Hope you enjoy this interview!

Matt Johner is a country artist based up north in Saskatoon. He comes from a long line of troubadours and musicians. We explore his background, career, entrance into the V4V world, cruise ships and musical guilty pleasures, enjoy!

Andy is a one-man rock & roll machine. He rolls in with a Tele, a Vox, a kick and snare on pedals, and abruptly melts your face. He's part IggyPop, part Weird Al, part Devo, part Buddy Holly, and I adore his stuff. Hope you like this interview.

You know Tony from such songs as "Cool Summer" and "Red Light," and you also know him as the leader of the Blue House Band here in Nashville. We dive deep into his artistry, V4V, if compression on social media is creating "bad" singers, and more! Enjoy!
