[From 7-8:30 a.m. Saturday]

Had a fun time with country singer/songwriter Alesa Shawn and her husband Glenn. We talked about her music, growing up, working as a truck driver, trying to sell her songs in Nashville, and her recent competition in EPAC Idol (where she was one of five finalists). Naturally, we spun some of her tunes too:

“G.R.I.T.S.”
“One Out the Window”
“Johnson Street”
“Keeper”
“I Wuz Heer”

We also rounded out the show with a couple of classic trucker tunes:

“Convoy” – C.W. McCall
“Roll On (Eighteen Wheeler)” – Alabama

You can learn more about Alesa and her music on her MySpace page:
