Kyle Long speaks with guitarist, singer, songwriter, and visual artist Steve Wariner, one of Indiana's most celebrated country music artists.
Born in Noblesville, Indiana, Wariner has earned four Grammy Awards, membership in the Grand Ole Opry, and 14 No. 1 country singles. This summer, another side of his creativity is on display in The Flip Side: Paintings by Steve Wariner, a solo exhibition at the Monthaven Arts & Cultural Center in Hendersonville, Tennessee. The exhibition features 60 paintings in oil, acrylic, watercolor, and mixed media created over the past three decades.
Wariner joins Kyle Long to discuss his lifelong passion for painting and reflect on his roots in Indiana's country music scene. Their wide-ranging conversation explores memories of Sammy Terry, Cowboy Bob, Arthur's Music in Fountain Square, the Beatles’ appearance at the Indiana State Fair, seeing shows at Mockingbird Hill in Anderson, and much more.
