14 Year Old Wrote a HIT Love Song | Filmed in Wendys radiowv 2026-09-19 | 14 Year Old Wrote a HIT Love Song | Filmed in Wendys
Clarke Sexton - Aint Worth It radiowv 2025-07-30 | I had heard Clarke Sexton play some tunes years ago and have kept an eye on him on and off for a while. He has been on the road with radiowv artist Nolan Taylor playing in his band for the last few years. He grew up in the same region of Eastern Kentucky that birthed the likes of Chris Stapleton and Loretta Lynn. He moved to Nashville when he was 18 and has grinded as an up and coming musician since then. He is now focusing on carving his own path with a set of songs I really resonate with, I absolutely love a few of his originals I have heard so far, and I hope you enjoy this one!
Gavin Crutcher - Lost My Soul radiowv 2025-07-24 | Gavin is 14 years old from Athens, Alabama. This was the first song I heard from Gavin and I knew he was wise above his years. You may be quick to say, what does a 15 year old mean with the lyrics, “back to how my life was when I was young”? I laughed jokingly by saying “back when he was 9?? Lol!!” Despite the poking fun, the soul in this song makes you reflect on your own life. I have given it plenty of listens while out running the roads and I have came up with a conclusion that answers this paradox. If you think back to when you were a little kid, not a 17 year old kid when puberty and the worries of life start to creep in (how to impress others or wondering what people think of you) but a 5-10 year old kid.. If you can think back that far, you will remember that those were the golden years, our self perceived “wisdom” and life experiences didn’t cloud our child-like allure and outlook on life, we lived almost completely in-the-moment. We had a grandiose view on the world, one that I so SO wish and strive to get back to in my personal thought life. Gavin, being 15, has a very fresh memory of his childhood, therefore he is well entitled to make that statement even as a 14 year old young man. To be able to synthesize these thoughts into such a song is very admirable, and I salute him in his musical journey going forward. follow us on Instagram: instagram.com/radiowv
The Jack Wharff Band - Washed (radiowv x Truthful Sessions) radiowv 2025-07-16 | My good friend David at @TruthfulSessions and I were able to catch up with an awesome up and coming band out of Richmond, VA that we have been following for over a year now. These were some of the most humble and down to earth dudes we have met, and were able to shoot this in Jacks family back yard which makes it even more special. According to Jack, this song "Washed" is about their imperfect nature and the struggles of life, as well as the grace and forgiveness of Jesus to love them despite their shortcomings. follow The Jack Wharff Band: open.spotify.com/track/0bgijbvBSiTi4slIRi1OwC?si=kYkk1pXwT9mch2Dk7ysNIg&context=spotify%3Aartist%3A7Hw6prEoT6M58ChR8A1Rlz
gabrielle hope - gold or silver radiowv 2025-06-02 | We are honored to feature Gabrielle on the channel once again. This time, she performs her original song, “gold or silver,” and here’s what she had to say about it:“gold or silver” is probably my favorite song that I’ve written so far! I think as long as I can remember, I’ve worried about money and how money affects relationships. This song is both a question—“would you love me without money?”—and a dream of a world where money wouldn’t get in the way.
Gavin Crutcher - Days That I Miss radiowv 2025-04-30 | Gavin Crutcher is only 14 years old yet he has some wisdom beyond his years. He is from Toney, Alabama and was inspired to play music from listening to his great-grandfather sing. Gavin wrote this song as a reflection of a trip into the mountains with friends, it's about time slipping away and thinning upon times we want to re-live. We filmed this song at my old high school in Van, West Virginia.
Nathan Bess - Insane radiowv 2025-04-22 | I had a few different friends send me recordings of Nathan Bess this past year, and after some time we finally got to catch up! I fell in love with his music just as many others have, he is a singer-songwriter born and raised in the Charleston area of West Virginia. We are based in Charleston so it was easy for us to meet up in Nitro, WV and shoot a few songs for your listening and viewing pleasure! He has drawn comparisons to artists such as Tyler Childers and Chris Stapleton. Nathan works full time as a firefighter for the city of South Charleston and he began his music career in 2024 with the release of two EPs titled “part 1” and “part 2” which are a small showcase of his sound.More from Nathan: youtube.com/channel/UCd11m-SZ11sIpNY-leE8BWwNathan x Appalachia Untold: youtube.com/watch?v=SlbKU8GQx3Q
Davisson Brothers Band - Best You Can Do (Generational Song) radiowv 2025-03-25 | This is a special video, because it was written and performed by 3 generations of West Virginia troubadours.The @DavissonBros band came up from nothing, they have been making music to keep the electric and gas on since Donnie was 4 and Chris was 11. They played 5 nights a week all through grade school and middle school to pay their bills, and have worked their way into a national touring act and one of the most known/loved acts to ever come out of the great state of West Virginia. If there was a Mount Rushmore of West Virginia bred musicians , they would surely be on it.This is the first song they have ever released with their father Eddie (The Grey Haired fellow wielding a Les Paul). Their Dad performed this for us while battling gut wrenching pain and sickness from intense Cancer treatment that would bring most men to their knees, as you can see… he fought through for us and proceeded to rip solos for radiowv. Eddie was a full time gigging musician playing anywhere that would have him 6 nights a week, moose and elk lodges, campgrounds and bar rooms, all the while never having recorded or released a single record, until now that is. Eddie was born in Rock Camp, WV in humble beginnings, one of ten children, it was an honor to get to record him for his first time.From Left to Right: Nick Davisson (White T Shirt, this is Donnie Davissons Son), Donnie Davison (green hoodie), Landon McFadden (blue jacket, The Davisson Brothers nephew), Eddie Davisson (white hair with Les Paul), Gerrod Bee (mandolin player and cousin), Chris Davisson (green beanie sitting down on guitar)
Muscadine Bloodline - 10-90 radiowv 2025-01-29 | I have been listening to these guys for a while now... I had them on my playlist before I ever decided to start doing radiowv, like many others, I had found them through their song "Porch Swing Angel". They were playing the WV State Fair with Charles Wesley Godwin this past summer so I was able to catch up with them and record "10 90" with them on the side of the Greenbrier river. They have blazed their own path in a grassroots way, and have built their following on the road "fan by fan". They honed in on singing harmonies and developing their musical ability in church growing up, a few years after high school each of them were trying their hand at performing shows around their hometown of Mobile, AL . They decided to combine their musical efforts into a joint venture after they played a few shows together and the rest is history.
gabrielle hope - me and you radiowv 2025-01-15 | gabrielle hope was born in the mountains of Tennessee, she later relocated Shenandoah Valley, VA when she was 13. She learned to sing in church and drew inspiration from the mountain music and old gospel hymns that would eventually go on to be the building blocks for country music and ballads that we hear today. gabrielle is looking to bring light to the traditional Appalachian sounds that have been lost and forgotten over time. She enjoys traditional folk music and draws inspirations from Jean Ritchie Richie, Sierra Ferrell, and Sibylle Baire.
Donut Larsen - Heather radiowv 2025-01-10 | Donut Larsen is from Birmingham Alabama, he has spent the last 12 years as a homeless musician, his travels have included hopping trains , busking, navigating through tough situations, and doing whatever he has had to do to get by… This allowed him to receive the real and authentic experiences it would take to begin building a great catalog of original music. He recently went viral on tik tok and played his first official show with Oliver Anthony in Morgantown, WV as a part of Oliver’s Rural Revival Project. This is his song “Heather”Find More From Donut: open.spotify.com/artist/5wMCZNVsOUSftNgkl28D9E?si=3BU1VkfQTKeRkQRcGG0CiQOliver Anthony’s Rural Revival Project: oliveranthonymusic.com/rural-revival-project
Makenna Hope - Every Time I Hear That Song radiowv 2024-11-05 | We took a detour off the road near Charleston, West Virginia, to capture Makenna’s soul-stirring cover of Brandi Carlile’s “Every Time I Hear That Song.” Makenne brought raw emotion and heart to this track, paying it more than justice with every note. Listen to more of Makenna's music on Spotify - https://shorturl.at/ghk2r
Roy Caudill - Memory radiowv 2024-09-25 | Roy is as real as it gets. I drove out to his home place of Hazard, Kentucky to have him play some more songs for us. He is lost in time with his heart felt writing and that old country sound... He is as down to earth as they get. He ain't no carefully created, crafted, and marketed artist conspired together in a board room in Nashville, he is one of us.
Isaac Friend - Arrival radiowv 2024-08-14 | Isaac Friend spends his days on top of houses in the Richmond, VA area as a full time roofer and has used his free time for musicianship over the last 10 years. He is a drummer by trade but began writing his own music over the last few years. I took a keen interest in Isaac's songs since his friend and fellow musician Evan Barlow reach out to me a few months ago. We hope you enjoy this new voice and look forward to sharing many other great songs of his with you in the future.
Oliver Anthony - Doggonit radiowv 2024-08-07 | It will be a year ago tomorrow that Chris (@oliveranthonymusic ) and I released the shot heard round the world known as "Rich Men North of Richmond". We recorded some other songs that day, and decided to keep a few in the vault to use for later. This is one of the favorites we kept from that day. Enjoy, Doggonit!
Jesse Welles - Olympics radiowv 2024-06-20 | Jesse Welles is an artist with all the makings of what i consider to be a legend for many years to come. As we traveled around with him exploring his neck of the woods, it was apparent that the dude was just built different… plain and simple. He wrote songs while sitting in traffic, he wrote songs about horse flies as we swatted them away during our recordings (and they were bonafide classic sounding tunes). As we drove around in his old ford van he told us about how he felt he doesn’t have any time left to waste with his music, and he aims to give his listeners the best he can with the years he has left on this giant floating space rock we call Earth. I am absolutely floored to present someone I have great musical reverence and respect for… I present Mr. Jesse Welles to radiowv. More from Jesse: https://linktr.ee/wellesmusic?fbclid=PAZXh0bgNhZW0CMTEAAaa3f7pn2z44t0ZJ11TRwAyf518yi0CeQyS_Z3LPD0oNlcsh9qnpMjpBoKk_aem_ZmFrZWR1bW15MTZieXRlcw

Mikele Buck - Irish Road radiowv 2024-03-05 | Mikele Buck was the first artist I ever recorded around 5 years ago. He introduced me to many great song writers and quickly became one of my good fishing and hunting confidants/ buddies. After his time oversees mikele prefers only to bow hunt and would rather not use a gun on any living creature, which is understandable. This is one of my favorite songs he has written that I have listened to for quite some time, we finally got to get together with Mikele and my buddy David from @TruthfulSessions do a proper recording of this one.

Nolan Taylor - “500” radiowv 2024-02-07 | According to Nolan, he wrote this song while him and his girlfriend were living 500 miles away from each other. We couldn’t be happier to have him back on the channel again to perform it for everyone. Anyone who has experienced separation from loved ones can resonate with this song and Nolan has the “knock your socks off” factor with his dynamic vocals. Check out our other session we did with Nolan that went super viral a year ago: youtube.com/watch?v=UKxTIuw1zEMBe on the lookout for new songs from this Cincinnati native, and as Nolan would say, “Onward and Upward”!!
Mikele Buck - Nashville, TN radiowv 2024-01-05 | Mikele wrote this song after he was "pissed off with a Nashville record executive". Mikele Buck is an Iraq War Veteran and a West Virginia native who has busted his tail as a welder and touring musician for over 20 years. Mikele was our first ever radiowv recording artist, and I am so looking forward to helping get some of his original songs out to you all, he has many great and serious songs, but I found this one to be a good light hearted introduction to an amazing songwriter that has been overlooked for way too long in the industry.
Josiah and the Bonnevilles - Basic Channels radiowv 2023-12-27 | Folk artist Josiah and the Bonnevilles rolled up in a 90's model chevy truck that looked both well traveled and well taken care of to perform a few songs for us around the Williamson, WV/ Belfry, KY area. This is one of the songs that originally peaked my interest in him and got stuck in my head for quite some time!! It reminds me of my wife and the important things in life.... let me know what you think of this tune by Josiah, and let me know in the comments what types of artists or content you may like to see moving forward in the next chapter of radiowv, I am a one man band here at radiowv, not a huge team of people, so I appreciate everyones input, sincerely! Enjoy!
Kyle Fields - My Appalachian Lady (Honky Tonk Session) radiowv 2023-12-21 | Greenup Kentucky Native Kyle Fields set foot to Nashville 11 years ago, working hard at Cintas in the daytime as a delivery driver and trying his best to get his songs heard in whatever Honky Tonk bar would have him during the night hours. He has became a great friend of mine over the years and has been busting his tail playing the Broadway Strip in Nashville the last half a decade or more, hoping to pay the bills and catch a break(sometimes playing live music up to 7 - 8 hours a day). In a world of social media vitality and instant gratification, he has chose to do it the old fashion way; to keep bread on the table through a tip jar, like many of the classic american legends. He is as down to earth as they come, with some of my favorite collections of self written songs that remind you of that old time country sound we all love (check out my personal favorite song of his, “Heart Of Stone”). Anyhow, I encourage you to take time to peal through his catalog of songs and help a brother out, he wanted me to put this live performance together to help him get started on booking for this coming 2024 calendar year, he is looking to get off Broadway and into you hometown watering holes and venues, so feel free to reach out: Kylefieldsmusic@yahoo.comBand IncludesJason Hale / BassDerek Isaacs / Lead GuitarDon Parker / DrumsRonnie Parker / Steal GuitarChelsey Parker / Fiddle*Fun Fact, the steel guitar player is the father of both the fiddle player and the drummer!Produced by Jason Hale
Josiah and the Bonnevilles - Kentucky Flood radiowv 2023-11-30 | Something about Josiah is just special, he strikes me as a performer and artist all of his own. I discovered him a few years ago and came to find a great deal of peace while listening to his music. This is a song he penned about the Kentucky Flooding and those affected by it, it is our wish that this can bring those affected some sort of tranquility. Look for more from Josiah, he is such a humble and down to earth dude and definitely worth the deep dive into his catalog.
Roy Caudill - Self Inflicted Wound radiowv 2023-11-21 | They call it the "high and lonesome", sound... known for folks such as Bill Monroe, Ralph Stanley, and Hank Williams Senior. Roy reach out to me for a video and I instantly felt at home listening to his timeless country sound. In country and folk music there are often times when a song is meant to be performed by various artists, each with their own take on it, this was certainly the case with Roy and "Self Inflicted Wound". I know I sure have had quite a few self inflicted wounds in my day... This song was recorded by David Allen Coe, as well as John Whitley, and written by Billy Yates, Danny Bear Mayo, and Kim Edwin Williams. We look forward to sharing some original songs from this Hazard, KY native as well. As always, enjoy!

After he graduated, he joined the Navy where he is currently active duty. Eddie picked up the guitar again during his lunch breaks on the Navy and his friends heard him play, told him he was great, and should post videos on Tik tok.
