Wendy Vickers
 

Biography

In the short time she's been in Nashville, "Wendy V" has warmed the hearts and lifted the spirits of many singer/songwriters and musicians trying to be heard in a town full of great talent. A firm believer in the life-changing power of encouragement, Wendy has been called "the best friend a struggling songwriter could ask for". She brings a smiling face and her full attention to every artist when she goes to gigs and writers nights, and is always touched to hear that such a simple gesture has been an inspiration to many artists.

Wendy's blog, Wendy V's Nashville Blend (http://wvnashblend.blogspot.com) quickly became an effective support vehicle for the Nashville music community. It's gained widespread recognition in town and several artists have used her quotes from her blog writeups for their own press kits.

A prolific writer, Wendy has several other blogs and regular columns. Among those are:"Wendy V's Encouraging Words", the main feature of her"Embrace Encouragement" website (www.embraceencouragement.com), focusing on giving, accepting and owning encouragement; Wendy V's Ponderings, a popular blog on random life reflections found on her main website at http://www.wendyv.com .

Wendy also brings a special brand of support to those in the "baby boomer" generation via her Radio Free Nashville radio show, "Never Too Old", heard on Sunday mornings at 8 a.m. Central. The show features a unique mix of classic "oldies", music and interviews from those in the age 40+ demographic making good music in present times, and words of inspiration and encouragement. "Never Too Old" can be heard on 107.1 WRFN-LPFM in Bellevue/West Nashville and streaming live via www.radiofreenashville.org - also see the Facebook group for "Never Too Old With Wendy V" and her show blog at http://wendyvnto.blogspot.com .
