    Guest Host Tom Swearingen welcomes his Special Guest Randy Palmer to the show. A Folk/Americana singer-songwriter Randy Palmer blends the artistry of a painter with the soul of a poet.

A 2025 Western Writers of America Spur Award winner, Randy also helped pen the International Western Music Association 2025 Song of the Year, “Blessed By The West,” alongside Sarah Pierce and Merel Bregante. As a solo songwriter and performer, his chart-topping “Dance Ponies Dance” continues to introduce new listeners to his voice and vision. Join Tom and Randy as they discuss the poet and songwriter connection and the heart of the songwriting process. Enjoy several of Randy’s songs!
