Chad sits down with John Rich, this month’s DemerBox Artist of the Month, for a deep conversation about the music business, creative freedom, and the fine line between success and significance. John talks about the birth of the Music Mafia, the rise of Big & Rich and Gretchen Wilson, and how Nashville’s sound and politics have shifted over the years. He talks about staying authentic, honoring the flag, and writing songs that mean something, even when they ruffle feathers.

We love how John Rich is unapologetically himself. He's outspoken, sharp, funny, and fearless.

If you believe real country music still needs a backbone, this one’s for you.
