Rolling Stone All Access

In a Nashville Now first, Rolling Stone’s country music podcast goes to Bonnaroo for a live episode with the Tedeschi Trucks Band. But the interview with the husband-and-wife duo of Susan Tedeschi and Derek Trucks doesn’t go quite as planned — a lightning storm forces the evacuation of the festival! Yet Tedeschi Trucks will not be deterred. The band talk about the logistics and finances of touring with a 12-piece band, the new album Future Soul, and the three artists they think everyone needs to know. It’s a wet and chaotic episode of Nashville Now, live from the Farm at Bonnaroo.

On a new episode of The Rolling Stone interview, writer CT Jones sits down with I Love Boosters star Keke Palmer as the actress retraces her history from child-star to two-time Emmy Award winning actress and discusses her dreams about a legacy that doesn’t let pressure and stress get the best of her. At 32 years old, Palmer has spent more years as her family’s main breadwinner than not, after breaking out in Hollywood at 11-years-old with her lead role in the inspirational Spelling Bee film Akeelah and the Bee. Now, she holds a variety of titles all at the same time, singer, host, actress, and most importantly, single mother to her three-year-old son Leodis. Her latest film is Boots Riley’s I Love Booster, a radical, anticapitalist film about a down-on-her-luck fashion designer who “boosts” clothes from retailers with the help of her stylishly dressed entourage, the Velvet Gang. Palmer discusses how the themes of labor, creativity, and power show up on screen and in her own life — and how she’s redefining what success can look like.

In his first-ever podcast interview, Shaboozey — who gave the decade one of its biggest crossover hits with “A Bar Song (Tipsy)” — joins Rolling Stone’s Nashville Now for a very special live podcast taping in Las Vegas. The episode arrives as part of a multimedia package with Shaboozey, including a digital cover story on RollingStone.com. Nashville Now host Joseph Hudak, who authored the cover story, captures Shaboozey at his most vulnerable.

It’s a deeply personal interview with one of music’s most fascinating new stars, only on Nashville Now.
