The String – Odessa Settles

Jul 29, 2019

The String - Odessa Settles

The lineage of Nashville’s Fairfield Four thrives and resonates in Odessa Settles, this weekā€™s guest on The String.


LISTEN: APPLE PODCASTS

The daughter of singer Walter J. Settles (1928-1999), Odessa is an in-demand singer who values the full spectrum of sacred to secular music, especially the roots/Americana world where sheā€™s amassed a long resume. Sheā€™s been a guest vocalist on projects by Darrell Scott, Kathy Mattea, Tim Oā€™Brien and last yearā€™s Rifles & Rosary Beads by Mary Gauthier. She works solo and in combination with her surviving brothers (she was the only girl of eight kids growing up) in the vocal group The Settles Connection. And sheā€™s pulled all this off while maintaining an intense career as a nurse for premature babies at Vanderbilt Medical Center. Also in the hour, a visit with Trent Wagler and Jay Lapp, veterans of VA band The Steel Wheels, who’ve just released their seventh LP album.
