ABOUT THIS WEEK’S SHERO IN THE SPOTLIGHT:

This week’s guest has been dear to my heart ever since her debut All or Nothin’ came out in 2011. Not only is this week's guest a fantastic songwriter and performer, she is a genuine outlaw country SHERO, a rebellious tough girl with a tender heart, and, as she dubbed herself on her last record in 2017, a Highway Queen who has logged countless miles as a touring musician, while running several businesses at once. She is a woman who suffers no fools, but with a smile. Nikki Lane  grew up in South Carolina, dropped out of high school at 17, and moved to LA, then New York, and finally Nashville, both pursuing a now thriving vintage clothing business called High Class Hillbilly, and a life as a musician. On this new episode of SHEROES, we meet the many sides of Nashville singer-songwriter-entrepreneur Nikki Lane, as we sit down to talk about her fourth and most personal album, Denim and Diamonds. Hear how Nikki finally found the sound she had been striving for, reflecting on the roads that got her here, even when some of those roads got dark.
