Elliot Poston & Jess Kellie Adams | Roger The Wild Child Show

The Roger the Wild Child Show delivers an electrifying Nashville edition featuring two powerful new voices in country music: Jess Kelly Adams and Elliot Poston. Jess returns after a period of personal struggle and a temporary retreat to Ohio, where she worked as a bank teller, only to rediscover her passion for music and return to Nashville with renewed purpose. Her heartfelt songs 'Great and Grace' and 'Ashes Defier' reflect her journey through hardship, resilience, and spiritual rebirth. Elliot Poston, a South Carolina native and self-described 'Luke Combs look-alike,' shares his authentic country roots, faith-driven storytelling, and recent breakthrough with his song 'The Country Way.' His raw, emotional performance of 'John 3.16' and surprise collaboration with mentor Chad Brock—confirmed live on air—cements his rising star status. The episode is a celebration of perseverance, family, faith, and the unpredictable magic of live music, culminating in a major announcement: a free, live show at the Troubadour in Nashville on June 4th during CMA Fest, with both guests confirmed to perform. Key takeaways include: 1) Rebuilding your creative spark after burnout is possible—Jess’s return proves that stepping back can lead to deeper authenticity. 2) Authenticity and vulnerability in songwriting resonate more than polish—Elliot’s faith-based lyrics and personal stories are his superpower. 3) Mentorship and community are essential in music—Chad Brock’s support and live collaboration with Elliot highlight the power of connection. 4) Live performance is sacred—whether for 5 people or 2,000, every show is a chance to connect. 5) The future of country music is being shaped by real stories, not just sound—both artists embody the genre’s soul. The overall tone is uplifting, inspiring, and deeply human, celebrating the messy, beautiful journey of artistry.
