In Episode 19 of Creative Evolution, host Josi J sits down with Alicia Harvey, Nashville born and Knoxville made independent country artist, songwriter, CMA member, BMI songwriter, and six time Josie Music Awards nominee. Alicia has played over five hundred shows, crowdfunded her own debut EP entirely on her own terms, and won Song of the Year at the 2024 Josie Music Awards on the Grand Ole Opry stage.

In this episode we dig into the little girl at her grandmother's jukebox who fell in love with George Strait and Randy Travis before she could even read. How Alan Jackson lit a fire in her at nine years old that never went out. Why Knoxville made her the musician Nashville never could have.

This full broadcast includes our signature local music sweeps featuring tracks from East Tennessee's finest independent artists.
