  • Chat with Onoleigh: Coda Country Chats - Season 4, Episode 11
    Nov 23 2024

    Leigh chats Onoleigh about her most recent single release of her song, "OK Later", and they chatted about her future EP release as well as her Christmas release!

    About Onoleigh: Onoleigh knows what she wants to say. The 26-year-old Mahomet, IL, native has spent the past few years in Nashville honing her sound and mastering her craft, but her story had begun years before. As early as 16, Onoleigh began making frequent trips to Music City, where she was quickly accepted into the Broadway circuit. She cut her teeth playing cover songs for tourists, and learned to keep their attention with her powerful stage presence and stunning vocals. Early champions including singer/songwriter John Oates (of Hall & Oates) and session musician David Dorn helped her build her creative communities and find her voice in the writing room.

    Fast forward to 2024, and Onoleigh travelled to LA for a writing trip with hit-making writer/ producer Emile Ghantous (Pitbull, Chris Brown, Boys II Men). Together, the two churned out a collection of songs that perfectly encapsulated the sound Onoleigh had been working toward: high-energy, explosive pop production coupled with heartfelt country lyrics. Topped, of course, by Onoleigh’s signature powerhouse voice. Back in Nashville, Onoleigh added her beloved organic instrumentation to the songs with the help of some of Nashville’s most acclaimed studio musicians. And now, all that’s left to do is to share this music with the world. Singles "Higher Standards" and "Drink And Cry" were released in August and September 2024, respectively, with "OK Later" set to arrive November 1st. With lyrics that scream resilience and a carefree attitude, Onoleigh invites listeners to embrace their emotions and indulge in a little recklessness after a breakup. The chorus "let me feel my feelings, I'll be ok later," encapsulates the spirit of the song—proving that it’s ok to not be ok and that revenge can be sweet.Co-written and produced by Grammy-nominated Emile Ghantous, along with Emmy-winning Josh Goode and 4x Platinum songwriter Sam SZND, "OK Later" showcases Onoleigh's haunting powerhouse vocals, recorded in the historic Layman Drug Company in Nashville. This track is more than just a song; it's a rallying cry for anyone who's ever felt the sting of betrayal and is ready to show their ex what they're missing.

  • Chat with Ty Gregory: Coda Country Chats - Season 4, Ep. 7
    Oct 9 2024

    Ty Gregory and your Chats Pod host, Leigh met at the Whiskey Jam Bootlegger's Tailgate after his set in Jacksonville, FL before the Luke Combs show. Ever since, they've shared witty commentary and dad jokes on the state of country music and life in general while becoming social media friends.

    His newest single, "Pictures of Us" released on September 27th, so be sure to stream it after hearing all about it on this episode of the Coda Country Chats Podcast.


    About Ty Gregory:

    Hailing from a small town just 50 miles east of Nashville, Ty Gregory has been sowing his musical roots deep in the Bible Belt since he was just a teenager.

    As a young boy, Ty would sit in front of his grandmothers wooden console tv for hours at a time watching 90’s country music videos on CMT. Captivated by the look and sound of artists such as Tracy Lawrence, Joe Diffie and Travis Tritt, Ty knew at a young age that whatever these guys had, he also wanted. As Ty started nearing his teenage years his love for music didn’t fade, but it did however start etching more towards modern hard rock. From bands such as 3 Doors Down, Creed and Staind, Ty grew interest in becoming more than your average listener and decided it was time to learn a musical craft of his own.

    Twelve years old with a new tobacco sunburst painted Silvertone guitar from a Sears catalog, Ty quickly began learning to strum chords and eventually he turned those chords into songs. From that point on, Ty became hooked to the concept of playing and creating music of his own and formed countless country and rock bands over the next several years.

    A subtle mix of 90’s country twang coupled with melodic overtones and driving beats that can’t help from being considered an anthem, Ty Gregory is a fresh new take on the country format.

    Sarahbeth Taite created her latest EP during the transformative journey of raising her first daughter, Isla, and is now preparing to release it while expecting her second daughter. She has an inspiring story of overcoming the fear that motherhood might distance her from country music fans and the industry. Not only did she navigate the challenges of being a first-time mom, but she also orchestrated collaborations with top-tier writers, including 3x Grammy-winner Nathan Chapman, ACM Song of the Year winner Parker Welling, and SMACKsongs writer Scott Stepakoff, among others.


    About Sarahbeth Taite:

    Country Singer-Songwriter Country Artist, Sarahbeth Taite is creating her own lane in today’s music scene. While her unique style of music and lyrical storytelling has a broad appeal, she has especially resonated with many young women and mothers. In 2020, fans found Sarahbeth’s single “Long Way'' on TikTok, garnering 8+ million streams, earning Sarahbeth an all-genres iTunes #1 and her Billboard chart debut. That success captured the attention of many music industry power players, earning her following singles significant editorial playlisting on every major streaming platform.

    Her last 8 singles have been featured on the “Women of iHeartCountry” radio show hosted by Amy Brown. In addition, Bobby Bones has championed Sarahbeth, inviting her to perform on The Bobby Bones Show, The Bobby Bones Podcast and his BobbyFest Music Festival after he discovered her on TikTok. She has also had the support of CMT, with multiple music video features.

    Originally from Fort Collins, Colorado, Sarahbeth Taite knew she wanted to be an artist at a very young age when she climbed up on the piano bench beside her grandmother at just five years old. Her love of music was so strong that her parents decided she should take piano lessons. Years later, her teacher loaned her a guitar, and Sarahbeth became a multi-instrumentalist over the course of a weekend.

    For her 14th birthday, Sarahbeth begged her parents for a trip to Music City to attend an NSAI songwriter's workshop. Her parents, recognizing her talent and dedication, agreed. That workshop led to her first publishing deal with Green Hills Music Group. After signing her pub deal, she then enrolled in online high school to be able to make the journey back and forth to Nashville to write.

    Sarahbeth went on to sign her second publishing deal with Hall of Fame Songwriter Kye Fleming and SESAC Writer of the Year Catt Gravitt, who helped her begin developing her artistry. At just 17 years old, Sarahbeth drove her blue Chevy Silverado truck from Colorado to Nashville to fully pursue her dream.

    Sarahbeth now embraces her new role as a wife, and young mother – often writing about her experiences in her music and carving out her own unique path within the industry. She’s always had a heart for children, and giving back to kids is a significant part of her platform as an artist. She’s made multiple appearances at Vanderbilt Children’s Hospital in partnership with Seacrest Studios and Musicians On Call to play music, sign autographs and host Q&A sessions to brighten the lives of children being treated. In addition, she has mentored young musicians at The Southern Girls Rock Camp, whose mission is to support positive self-esteem for girls through music.
