Meet The Band Loula: Rising Country Duo on Viral Growth, New Music & Life as an Artist | Fuegostine's Music Club
In this heartfelt and wide-ranging episode, I sit down with The Band Loula, the Nashville-based duo blending southern gospel roots, soul, rock, and harmony-driven songwriting into what they call “swamp-grass.” We trace their story from childhood music influences to the moment their new single “Running Off the Angels” exploded online.
They share how their childhood friendship became a creative partnership, what they learned opening for Elle King, how they navigate the pressure of social media as modern artists, and the emotional journey behind their latest release. We also talk about upcoming music, working with John Osborne of Brothers Osborne, and the biggest joys and challenges of life as a rising country act.
If you love artist-driven storytelling, behind-the-scenes insight into the Nashville grind, and discovering emerging talent before everyone else — this episode is for you.
