Outlaw country isn’t something you learn — it’s something you live. Tyler-James Kelly joins the table to talk underground country, authenticity, touring, songwriting, and why the real ones don’t need small talk to recognize each other.
• What separates outlaw country from mainstream “country”
• Why authenticity can’t be taught — only lived
• Touring life and staying independent without selling out
• Writing songs from lived experience instead of industry formulas
• Hearing your own work on the radio for the first time
• Why the underground country movement still matters
• Supporting artists directly instead of feeding the machine
