Over the years, he’s placed numerous song in major motion pictures such as “The Purge” and “Daddy Day Camp” and on many network TV series, like “Nashville” and “The Hills.”
Now he’s written a song that could easily become a feature in your personal movie and soundtrack during this Coronavirus shutdown. Let’s Get Through This.

Sharing a conversation with Mike Rowe’s mom is something you don’t get to do every day. When you do, it’s going to be pretty down to earth and incredibly comfortable. She’s been writing for decades which led me to asking if this moment of Coronavirus stoppage is truly proving to be a great time for first time writers to put the pen to paper?
