When you think of Music City, you probably think of the big-name musicians who got their start here. But session musicians, studio musicians, and backing musicians are a huge part of what keeps the live music scene alive and thriving.
These are the go-to musicians hired to perform in recording sessions or live performances. In this episode, we’ll meet session musicians and a recording engineer to get an inside look at how the craft works.

Guests:
- Chuck Ainlay, music producer and recording engineer
- Derrek Phillips, Grammy Award-winning drummer
- Kristin Weber, fiddler and singer
- Amber Woodhouse, vocalist and saxophonist, one of the lead singers for Trigger Hippy
