We had a great conversation with Country artist Joedi Silvers on The Chris & Sandy Show. We talked about many things from Nashville, music, sacrifices, he told some really great stories to a whole lot more!
Joedi Silvers came by his classic country sound honestly. His father lived it, performing in Nashville and all over the world in the 70’s and 80’s. Joe Don Silvers was a hitmaker. He wrote for Barbara Mandrell, Charley Pride, Janie Fricke, Lois Johnson and Willie Nelson, to name a few. He also founded a studio on Music Row with his friend, Faron Young, “The Queen of Sound.” Joe Don toured for decades all over the world. Two of his longest and most notable touring partners were “The Nashville Junction” and Hank Williams, Jr.
His young son quickly proved to be a chip off the old block musically. “I started singing at three,” recalls Joedi. “My dad had a studio in our basement, and some of my first musical memories are of joining him in singing ‘Orange Blossom Special’ and ‘Folsom Prison Blues’ in that basement studio.”
As a young boy Joedi was a typical kid, spending his time playing sports and video games. Eventually he pursued his true calling and passion for the traditional country music style of his father. He taught himself to play his dad’s guitar, becoming proficient on the instrument and quickly harnessing the retro country sound that comes naturally.
Joedi’s voice takes you back to a time when artists like Ray Price, Waylon Jennings and Johnny Cash were kings, when steel guitar and analog sound ruled, and music made you feel something in your soul. Joedi hopes to bring back this style, armed with drawers of songs penned by his dad that fit his deep throwback voice and rhinestone-shimmering image perfectly.
On a whim he recorded “Sleeping Alone,” a song written by his father, and uploaded it to Instagram. Within a few days, the video had over half a million views, and eventually it exceeded well over 2 million views. With that success under his belt, Joedi set off for Nashville, his dad’s old stomping grounds, armed with little more than his sheer talent and a desire to share it with the world.
At 19 years old, Joedi Silvers is an old soul who often seems wise beyond his years. He currently hones his talent performing in bars on Broadway, where many of Nashville’s biggest artists began their journey to fame. He brings a fresh energy and passion to the original sound that first made Music City great. His is the same honest sound that propelled a generation of artists who are revered a few streets away from Broadway at the Country Music Hall of Fame. Joedi is ready to take his place among pure country greats both past and present.
