Celebrated Independent Music Podcast, Indie Talk, Features Kidder’s Soulful Storytelling Through Song

[Austin, Texas] – Indie Talk, the premier podcast showcasing independent artists from around the world, is proud to announce Troy Kidder as a Spotlight Artist in its latest feature episode. Known for his heartfelt storytelling and evocative songwriting, Kidder brings a unique blend of nostalgia, emotion, and melody to the independent music scene.
Listeners will get an exclusive look into three of his standout tracks:
"Free Free" – Written by Troy Kidder and produced by Billy Smiley, this song captures the pure exhilaration of youthful freedom. Inspired by Kidder’s real-life adventures riding a motorcycle he purchased from an Amishman, “Free Free” transports listeners to open roads and endless summer days.
"Under the Pure Blue Sky" – Also written by Kidder and produced by Smiley, this song draws from a touching scene in The Waltons and Kidder’s own love story. With themes of innocence and enduring love, the song was written as a tribute to his wife, Lori.
"These Times are Hard for Lovers" – A cover of the John Waite and Desmond Child classic, produced by Smiley, this track holds deep personal significance for Kidder. Originally gifted to him by Lori during a pivotal moment in their relationship, the song remains a powerful reflection of love’s complexities.
Kidder’s journey into music is anything but conventional. As the President of Kidder Media and a published author, his creative background spans writing, marketing, and corporate training. His collaboration with five-time Grammy-nominated writer/producer Billy Smiley has brought his deeply personal music to life, culminating in this exciting feature on Indie Talk.
"I never set out to be a musician, but storytelling has always been a part of my life," says Kidder. "These songs are pieces of my journey, and I hope they connect with others the way they have for me."
Indie Talk Podcast, known for celebrating independent artists beyond the mainstream, offers an intimate look into Kidder’s songwriting process, inspirations, and future plans—including his hopes to take his music to the live stage. Listen and Learn about Troy Kidder on Indie Talk:
