📄 Episode Description:
On this episode of the So Rude Podcast, host Paige Ruderman sits down with country singer-songwriter and founder of the Nashville writers round “Lyrics & Longnecks,” Olin Wallace, to dive into his journey from small-town Minnesota kid picking on his front porch to building one of the city’s go-to rounds for emerging artists.

Before hosting stages across Middle Tennessee, Olin cut his teeth in live music production, learning the ropes behind the scenes before stepping into the spotlight himself. He shares what it really takes to grow a writers round from scratch, the importance of building community over competition, and how his blue-collar roots, honest songwriting, and love of horses keep him grounded in the chaos of Nashville.

We also get into his latest releases — including “Crazy,” “Lasso,” “Everything But Mine” — plus a sneak peek at his upcoming single “Nicest Trailer in the Park.”

Whether you’re an independent artist, Nashville hopeful, or someone chasing a dream of your own, Olin’s story is a reminder that sometimes you don’t wait to be invited in — you build your own door.

🧠 What We Talk About:

• How growing up in Minnesota shaped Olin’s songwriting

• Getting his start working live music before becoming an artist

• The origin and growth of Lyrics & Longnecks

• What it really takes to run a writers round multiple nights a week

• Finding confidence as a performer vs. writer

• Upcoming release: “Nicest Trailer in the Park”

• Horses, healing, and staying grounded in Nashville

• Advice for new writers and artists moving to town
