For solo artist Jessie Baylin and Kings of Leon drummer Nathan Followill, this is an especially busy period for the married couple. In May, the Grammy Award-winning Kings of Leon released their latest album “Can We Please Have Fun.” And Baylin’s May 31 re-release of her critically acclaimed 2018 album “Strawberry Wind” – “Strawberry Wind (Deluxe Edition)” – also includes new tracks. But with two young children, the musicians are mindful of making sure that one of them is at home with the kids. “As of right now, I am not going to tour while the Kings are out,” Baylin said. “That could change, but I think right now the balance of having one of us home doing the routine with the kids is best.” Baylin and Followill did this interview from their Nashville home. You may follow them on Instagram (@jezziebaylin and @thenathanfollowill) and X (@doctorfollowill). This interview has been edited for clarity and length.

Q: Do you work on your material at home or on the road or both?

Jessie: All the original material on “Strawberry Wind” was written in Nashville over the course of a month – during the strawberry season. The new songs on the deluxe edition were also written while in town this past fall. I think I work best when I’m in the stillness of our home, though.

Q: Jessie, can you share some of your memories of touring with Stevie Nicks?

Jessie: Opening for Stevie has been at the top of my mountain of dreams. It has been surreal. The crowds have been kind to me and have really taken in the music and I just love being in her vortex. She truly is one of the most generous of spirit people I have ever known. I love her very much.

Q: When you’re not touring, do you prefer to stay at home or take another trip?

Nathan: I’m a bit of a homebody. But I also live on a golf course, so I’m happy anywhere that I can get out and chase the little white ball around.

Q: What are some travel memories you’d like to share?

Jessie: My parents are wanderlust people, so traveling was a part of my childhood. It wasn’t often fancy, but we explored whenever we could. Growing up in New Jersey, the whole eastern coastline was our playground. We would spend time down at the Jersey Shore. Our favorite spot to spend a week every summer was Block Island, Rhode Island. My mom loves the Southwest and her life goal has always been to visit every national park. Right after Nathan and I met, I told him that I was leaving on a three-week family hiking trip through southern Utah. I was very difficult to get in touch with during that time. I think that is when he really fell for me! Nathan and I love exploring the Caribbean together. Our power move is tagging on a bonus holiday at the tail end of a big European tour before heading home.

Q: Where have you traveled to for work that you went back to on a personal trip?
