On this episode of Bar Conversations, Jonathan Greene sits down with country artist Kalsey Kulyk to talk about her musical journey, her latest single, “Your Side of the Bar,” and the exciting news that she’ll make her Grand Ole Opry debut on Nov. 21, 2026. Originally from Hudson Bay, Saskatchewan, Kalsey shares stories of performing from the age of three, picking up the guitar as a kid and winning a local singing competition at 14.

Kalsey opens up about how personal experiences have shaped her music, from seeing firsthand how songs can help people through difficult times to facing Hodgkin’s lymphoma as a teenager and reaching 15 years in remission. She reflects on her early Nashville songwriting sessions, winning the CCMA Discovery Artist program and Anthem Entertainment’s “On The Spot” contest, and the creative adventures of her pandemic-era Love on the Road rooftop concert tour with her husband, Eric Ethridge. She also discusses her recent EP, Her Rodeo, the heartfelt single “Little Boy,” and the honest storytelling behind her songs, including “Love Me Like an Outlaw” and “Cut Him Loose.”

Plus, Kalsey shares what Lainey Wilson’s mentorship and their past collaboration on “Dreamcatcher” have meant to her, what performing on the legendary Opry stage will represent, and what’s ahead for the rest of 2026 and into 2027.
