Roots/country songwriters are often students of the art form, but Jaimee Harris is hard core. From her Emmylou Harris epiphany at age five through a girlhood in Waco obsessed with the master Texas songsmiths to her active fandom of today’s scene, she’ll school ya, because she’s schooled herself. Meanwhile, she’s worked her way into some refined company as an artist in her own right, and she’s brimming over with beliefs, insights and aspirations, as you’ll see in the Q&A we had this week. Harris, Nashville based since 2018, has just released her celebrated sophomore album called Boomerang Town, and she’s joining WMOT this week as part of our Finally Friday bill at 3rd & Lindsley.
