 STEVE HAGGARD
* Side Projects *
In addition to his work as a producer, solo artist, songwriter & musician, Steve is usually involved in several side projects. Here are some of his current/recent ones.
STEVE'S WEEKLY RADIO PROGRAM
In May 2008, Steve began co-hosting (with Kimberly King) a weekly one-hour radio show
called "The Haggard & King Radio Hour" on Radio Free Nashville. The program presents a wide variety of music -- both recorded, and live in the studio -- as well as interviews and special features. The show airs in the Nashville area every Tuesday from 4:00-5:00 PM on
WRFN (Radio Free Nashville), located at 107.1 on the FM dial. Or you can listen live on the internet at www.radiofreenashville.org ... so tune in to "The Haggard & King Radio Hour"!
STEVE HAGGARD & THE NASHVILLE ALL-STARS
For the past few years, Steve has been teaming with fellow Wild Oats Records artists Joel
Alan Lehman and Kimberly King to lead this exciting, dynamic band that specializes in a
cool mix of rockin' roots country and blues. Steve and the band have done very successful tours in Germany, Lithuania & Latvia thus far, and they'll be returning to Europe in 2012. 
A live Nashville All-Stars CD is scheduled for release by Wild Oats Records in Fall 2011.
STEVE'S UPCOMING BOOK 
Early in 2009, Steve began work on a book that he's been thinking about writing for quite
awhile. It's going to be a combination of 1) a guide for independent artists, musicians and
songwriters that will teach them how to not only survive -- but to thrive! -- in the music
business; and 2) a memoir of Haggard's fascinating decades-long music career... complete
with plenty of lessons learned, wisdom gained; stories of some of the great musicians and
characters who Steve has known and worked with; great tales of faraway places; and some
reminiscences of always interesting, occasionally wild (and often funny) times on the road
and in the studio. It should be quite a book! Be on the lookout for it in the Spring of 2010.
SISTER CITIES OF NASHVILLE
For the past few years, Steve has served on the Board of Directors of Sister Cities of Nashville,
a great non-profit organization dedicated to cultural, educational and commercial exchange
between Nashville and its various international sister cities. As head of the organization's
Music Committee, he has been active in coordinating -- and supplying Nashville musicians
for -- musical events in Magdeburg, Germany; Caen, France; and Belfast, Northern Ireland.
CONSULTATION & CAREER COUNSELING
During his decades in the music biz, Steve Haggard has done just about everything: he's a producer, musician, singer and songwriter; he runs a record label and is a music publisher; 
he has booked countless tours in the USA and overseas, written articles and columns for music publications... and even hosts his own radio show in Nashville. There aren't many people around with such a wide range of music biz knowledge and experience, so it's no surprise that artists often turn to Steve for advice and assistance with their music careers.
If you're looking for some good, realistic, no-nonsense career advice, just contact Steve. 
FRANK "ANDY" STARR DOCUMENTARY 
"One of the most interesting, memorable projects I've ever done was producing what proved
to be the last album by the legendary Rockabilly Hall of Fame member, Frank "Andy" Starr.
Because of the musical history involved, and because Frank was a truly fascinating character, I decided to make a documentary about the experience: we filmed at the sessions, at various locations around Nashville, etc. We shot around 10 hours of footage, including performances and a bunch of excellent interviews with Frank. The fact that I had zero experience as a film maker didn't deter me, as I tend to be a "learn-by-doing" guy. Luckily, there have been some people involved in the project who do know what they're doing! I'm currently reviewing the footage -- and trying to raise a bit more cash -- in preparation for editing the documentary. It will be called The Rockin' Return Of Frank "Andy" Starr, and should be ready early in 2012." 
STEVE'S BLOG & ASSORTED WRITINGS 
Steve has done a lot of writing over the years. He contributes on a fairly regular basis to the Nashville music magazine  Shake!, and had a popular column called ("The Real Music City") in the Nashville Free Press. until that fine newspaper's unfortunate demise.  He has written reviews of CDs and live performances; articles on the state of the music business and the realities of working as a professional in the industry; and features on, and interviews with, Nashville-based singers, songwriters, musicians, producers; etc. And starting in Fall 2011, Steve will be hosting and writing a weekly blog online. Watch this space for the details! 
THE DUET ALBUM
Awhile back, Steve began to record duets with some of his favorites among the many artists
he has produced in recent years. "It's kind of an informal project," says Steve. "Just one song
with each artist. We're doing all covers of songs that each of us happens to like. It'll probably
take another year or so to finish, as it's really a personal thing for me -- sort of a souvenir --
and isn't aimed at the music biz as such, or at commercial success. So I'm not in a rush with
it". So far, he has finished duets with Garry Jackson, Glenn French & Joel Alan Lehman; and
is working on songs with Bryon Russell, Kimberly King, Teddy Glenn and Mike Oakley.
GAIL & THE TRICKSTERS
Starting with the group's founding back in 1999, and until  it disbanded in 2007, Steve was a key member of this swingin' and original Nashville-based roots rock/rockabilly/jump blues band. In addition to playing harmonica and serving as the group's harmony singer, he also produced the band's three fine CDs, Dare To Be Different, All Tricked Out and Starr Struck.
