The Real Truth About Trying to Make It in Nashville — Scottie & Sabastian Roberts

Everybody dreams of coming to Nashville and becoming the next big star. But what's it REALLY like trying to make it in Music City?

Join Scottie Hugger and recording artist Sabastian Roberts on Drop Me Off in Nashville as they pull back the curtain on the music business. From finding the right songs and recording in Nashville studios to spending money on producers, musicians, promotion, radio and music videos, they talk about what it actually takes to build a career.

They also get into the rejection, broken promises, expensive mistakes, industry connections, celebrity collaborations and the people who promise you the world but don't always deliver.

Is talent enough? How much money does it really take? Who can you trust? And how do you keep chasing your dream when Nashville keeps telling you NO?

Scottie brings his years of music-industry experience, while Sabastian shares what it's like being the artist living through it.

No sugarcoating. No overnight-success fairy tales. Just two guys talking about the real music business, the lessons they've learned and why the dream is still worth chasing.

My Musical Heroes: Garth Brooks, Charley Pride & Loretta Lynn

This episode of Drop Me Off in Nashville is personal. I’m talking about three artists who helped shape my love for country music: Garth Brooks, Charley Pride, and Loretta Lynn—where they came from, the obstacles they overcame, the careers they built, and why their music still matters.

But this isn’t just about their hits and awards. I share my own memories of spending time with Charley Pride, being at his home and around him in the studio; my unforgettable experiences with Loretta Lynn at the Ryman, Hurricane Mills, and through Legends & Lyrics; and the night I found myself standing next to Garth Brooks at the Ryman—and completely froze.

Three legends. Three incredible journeys. And three reminders that talent is only part of the story. Hard work, perseverance, kindness, staying true to yourself, and never forgetting where you came from—that’s what makes a legend.

Join me for one of my most personal episodes yet as I honor three of my musical heroes.

How Promoters Screw the Consumer: The Truth Behind Concert Ticket Prices

Why can one major artist sell tickets for around $150 while another concert suddenly costs $300, $400, or more?

In this episode of Drop Me Off in Nashville, Scott Hugger breaks down what really happens behind major concert ticket pricing—from artist guarantees and promoter profit margins to service fees, premium seating, dynamic pricing, resale tickets, venue costs, production expenses, parking, merchandise, and everything else that gets added before the fan ever reaches their seat.

We look at the difference between standard admission, platinum pricing, VIP packages, and resale, and explain why the price you see on your screen does not always mean the artist is personally charging that amount.

We also ask the bigger question: when some superstar artists can deliberately keep prices lower, how much of today’s sky-high ticket pricing is truly necessary—and how much is simply what promoters and the market know consumers will pay?

If you have ever stared at a $400 concert ticket and wondered, “Where in the hell is all this money going?” — this episode is for you.

Know the ticket. Know the fees. Know who set the price before you hit BUY.
