Lyal Strickland
Ozarks singer-songwriter and 7th generation farmer Lyal Strickland is set to release his first album in about a decade this Friday, Oct 16th. Shooter of Truth is a raw, sharply written collection about depression, love, failure, survival, and the price of continuing to pursue a life in music. Strickland spoke with Christine about the inspiration for the album, how it came together, and how he continues to make music a priority while also balancing fatherhood, marriage, and taking care of the farm that has been in his family for generations.

Christine Davis was raised in NJ but is an honorary Midwesterner living in the Chicago area. She’s an acupuncturist by day, but there’s always music playing in her head. Live music brings her a thrill like no other, but she also listens to her favorite albums over and over (and over). A music historian at heart, she loves to find the threads that connect pieces, artists, genres, and fans together. She’s the wife of a musician, mom to two of the best humans on earth, and amateur lap steel guitarist.
