The California Country Show is a syndicated radio show and podcast hosted by “Just Dave” Bernal which is a pretty cool way to check out a host of great music by Independent and major label acts. Dave recently launched a new series of interview podcasts to shine a light on new female artists entitled: Trailblazers - Women In Country Music. The shows feature Dixie Jade, Julia Hatfield, Honey County, Darci Carlson and Sheyna Gee who recount their personal musical journeys. The show is available via all the usual platforms including Apple and Spotify and is well worth checking out. More about California Country and Trailblazers follows:

Hosted by “Just Dave” Bernal, The California Country Show is a syndicated weekly radio show, interview podcast, and event production labor of love. Bernal has hosted the California Country Show for 5 years now which has since expanded to have six radio affiliates. The radio show features new and classic country music from independent and major label artists while the podcast interviews these artists, diving deep into their journey in the industry with live performances and sneak peeks at new music.. A former Bakersfield resident and country music historian, Bernal is also a songwriter and bandleader himself, and his take on the podcast interview reveals how a modern-day country singer can thrive, not just survive.

Bernal prides himself on constantly challenging country radio to play more female artists and his own show’s ratio of male to female artists it plays remains among the highest of shows in its field. He is now set to take it one step further with “TrailBlazers—Women in Country Music”, an interview series on female artists and their journey in the music industry. A full weekly lineup in December is planned, with a different episode from a female country artist releasing each Monday. (Full schedule below).

“Women in country music are having a banner year,” Bernal notes. “The recent strong showing at the CMA Awards, the formation of the Highwomen, and major comebacks like Tanya Tucker are just a few examples. The 5 female acts that I interview represent multiple aspects of the independent music business and represent multiple markets, from California, Texas, Washington and Nashville. Each of them are making it in a different way, each of them blazing their own trail in this business.”
