Nashville: Ken Valdez and Brei Carter S04EP11

Roger the Wild Child Show

On this episode of Roger The Wild Child Show: Nashville, we are joined by singer/songwriter Ken Valdez and country music artist, Brei Carter! Also, Callum Kerr returns as we discuss the weekly recap of Fox’s new hit series, Monarch!

KEN VALDEZ

Ken Valdez returns with a fire breathing rock record entitled Saints And Sinners, named after a former rough and tumble roadhouse in northern New Mexico where Valdez was born and raised. While this guitarist, singer, songwriter and producer fuses elements of blues, rock, funk and Latin music to create a sound all his own, he kicked things up a notch this time out. Valdez has stated the record is “…deep and personal but a fun and wild ride”. While Saints And Sinners covers new territory across an already broad but expanding musical landscape, the sound is unmistakably, undeniably Ken Valdez. Being no stranger to the road, Valdez is back on tour including dates with the iconic ZZ Top and prestigious festivals like the Bayfront Blues Festival to name a few. There is no question, Ken Valdez is back! The outlaw rides again!

BREI CARTER

Emerging crossover country and southern pop recording artist Brei Carter is proof that sometimes faith, patience and time pays off. Growing up in Monroe, Louisiana with a solid, southern upbringing, Brei’s family raised her on several authentic southern staples: the Bible, Lone Star Missionary Baptist Church’s choir, Charley Pride, Loretta Lynn, Aretha Franklin, and no shortage of familial love and devotion. However, before she became the dynamic and vivacious country singer she is today, Brei was busy earning a Bachelors in Business from University of Louisiana in Monroe, a Masters in International Relations from Webster University, and a Doctorate in Theology from New Foundation Theological Seminary. She is also a proud Veteran of the U.S. Army, where she served as an enlisted soldier and as an officer. Having moved to Nashville soon thereafter, Brei has quickly established herself in the songwriters community as a smooth and sometimes edgy songstress who melds country, soul and southern pop into one fused style. Her first single at country radio “Gave Him A Girl” was immediately recognized as “cute and catchy” by country music journalist and historian Robert K. Oermann in his weekly DISClaimer review column for Music Row Magazine, where it eventually charted up to #71. With a growing catalog of new music, including her debut album 'Brand New Country,' slated for a September 16 release, this young singer-songwriter is a welcome addition to the emerging new styles of the country music community.
