Episode Fifteen with the one & only Kix brooks

I was able to catch up with one half of Brooks & Dunn before they kicked off their Reboot 2023 tour in Kansas City. This is the whole interview the day before the show at T-Mobile Center in the heart of KC. Kix Brooks is a legend and he's a very generous guy for spending a few minutes with me.

Episode Twelve - CJ Solar 

As CJ Solar was loading up his equipment on stage of Tin Roof in Kansas City, I snagged him away to do a podcast episode! Find out the stories behind mega hits "Up Down" by Morgan Wallen Feat. FGL and break out song "Some Girls" by Jameson Rodgers. We discuss his sound & writing, also does he like pineapple on pizza? CJ Solar's single "All I Can Think About Lately" is currently on the charts and we find out why it took nearly 7 years for it to happen. Thanks for listening! 

EPISODE ELEVEN - PARMALEE

After crashing into the country scene with their hit song "Carolina" in 2013, Parmalee have found themselves at the top of the charts again in 2021. Their song "Just The Way" featuring Blanco Brown is a certified platinum country/pop mega hit. It's featured on their album 'For You' that was released in July. Our station Q104 is one of the first stations in the country to play their new single "Take My Name" & I think it's gonna be another smash. We talk how they came together as a group & "Tamata Bisquits"...

Been a while! Episode Ten with the bearded one - Jordan Davis

Tater got to catch up with Jordan Davis while he stopped in KC. Hopped on the tour bus and got in a great episode.

We also chatted about football (Tater and Jordan are Saints fans) and we find out why Jordan thinks Patrick Mahomes

is the best football player in the NFL.

Episode Eight - Shy Carter

This week Todd and Tater are excited to hang with producer/songwriter/artist Shy Carter. His journey to Music City is anything but boring. From producing for rapper Nelly, writing for Rob Thomas, having his first country number one with Sugarland and then putting out his own music via Warner Music Nashville. Oh and we can't forget writing multiple number one hits with his buddy Kane Brown (Good As You) (Heaven). His debut single to radio, "Good Love" is such a great message and needs to be heard. Take this wild ride with us!

How they ended up on Rice's latest radio single "Drinkin' Beer. Talkin' God. Amen" and how Chase is a Bison Rancher now.

This week Todd and Tater catch up with Lainey Wilson. Lainey is a bell bottom wearing fiery young lady ready to take the country world by storm. She just released her debut album Sayin' What I'm Thinkin' via Broken Bow Records. We chat about her first songwriting credit in Music City was a Luke Combs song, how a childhood dream of playing the Opry came true recently and how her hometown has a connection with the Tiger King. Also, Lainey was one of the last performers Todd & Tater got to see before the pandemic hit. All that and some laughs during our latest episode of 'Behind The Strings'.

This week Todd and Tater get to catch up with hitmaker Dustin Lynch. We chat about his current top ten hit "Momma's House", how Todd and Dustin went crowd surfing on a blow-up raft & how his second job in Nashville stunk... literally.

Episode Four - Filmore

During our chat with Missouri native Filmore we found how he's not like every other artist in Nashville. Why he ate pineapple pizza for breakfast & when he first knew that he wanted to write songs. We here at Q104 have a personal reason why we want his new radio single "Nothing's Better" to top the charts. Because if it does we get to.... NO SPOILERS! Loved our time with this emerging star. His album 'State I'm In' is one to listen to top to bottom.
