<ul>
<li><strong>Artist Name</strong>:  Willie Stratton</li>
<li><strong>Hometown</strong>:  Halifax, Nova Scotia</li>
</ul>
<p><strong>What project(s) are you currently working on?</strong></p>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<p>Working on a new single right now that I&#8217;m really excited for! It&#8217;s a more upbeat kinda bluesy honky tonkin&#8217; number</p>
<p><strong>What inspired you to pursue a career in music and when did you know?</strong></p>
</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<p>I think I always knew. But I think the biggest influence was the cross generational aspect. Hearing old records that still made me feel alive as a young one, and then playing old songs that had the same effect in old people, it&#8217;s kind of this space that exists out of time in some ways. Maybe gives you a sense of immortality in a way.</p>
<p><strong> If you weren&#8217;t pursuing a career in music, what would you be doing for a living?</strong></p>
</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<p>Well I&#8217;m also a barber by trade, I like that job good enough! It&#8217;s a good gig, you meet lots of people and have good conversations all day</p>
<p><strong>What is your favorite downtime activity?</strong></p>
</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<p>Oh my, any down time I get I end up working on more music stuff! I like to record friends projects for fun, and other more experimental music here and there. And when the surf is good you can find me out at the beach!</p>
<p><strong>Who is your biggest celebrity crush?</strong></p>
</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<p>Shania Twain, is that even a question?</p>
<p><strong>Who is your favorite sports team(s)?</strong></p>
</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<p>McLaren has a pretty good F1 team right now!</p>
<p><strong>What is the last movie that you watched?</strong></p>
</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<p>Big Eyes by Tim Burton, great movie</p>
<p><strong>What is the last album you listened to?</strong></p>
</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<p>A compilation by the Fireballs. They&#8217;re an excellent, excellent instrumental group.</p>
<p><strong>If you could only listen to one album for the rest of your life, what would it be?</strong></p>
</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<p>It would have to be Cool Water by Son&#8217;s Of The Pioneers (the 1959 version) it is really a work of classical art by my standards. And it has a cool Atlantic Canadian connection which hits home for me.</p>
<p><strong> What is the greatest country song of all time?</strong></p>
</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<p>Sanford Clark&#8217;s &#8220;It&#8217;s Nothing To Me&#8221; checks all my boxes</p>
<p><strong>What has been your favorite city/town that you&#8217;ve visited out on the road?</strong></p>
</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<p>Nashville really is kind of a holy land for me. But I tell ya there&#8217;s some great little towns in Ontario that have been really good to me whenever I&#8217;ve passed through. Madoc and Brockville in particular. I like small towns a lot.</p>
<p><strong>What is your favorite meal?</strong></p>
</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<p>I can&#8217;t seem to get enough pizza. Whether it be greasy or gourmet, I love it all!</p>
<p><strong>Who is your dream duet partner?</strong></p>
</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<p>Wanda Jackson, hands down</p>
<p><strong> Who would you like to go on tour with?</strong></p>
</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<p>Jack White if he&#8217;d let me!</p>
<p><strong>What is your ultimate career goal(s)?</strong></p>
</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">Playing the Ryman would be a pretty good milestone</div>The post <a href="https://www.hometowncountrymusic.com/interview-with-willie-stratton/">Interview with Willie Stratton</a> first appeared on <a href="https://www.hometowncountrymusic.com">Hometown Country Music</a>.]]></content:encoded>
