Kari Arnett says she has a seed of a song playing in her head at all times. Her first full-length album, When the Dust Settles is just being released, and it's already turning some heads in the way she writes about love, loss, success and disappointment. And some of her songs, she says, were meant to be reminders to herself of how to deal with the deck life deals you.

Within the next several months, Kari is leaving the Upper Midwest for Nashville, and we got her to bring her band into the Radio Heartland studio to talk about the next steps in her exciting career.
