Ep 10: A Conversation with Kevin Marcy


Listen Later

It’s the 10th episode! Thanks so much for listening.

On this special 10th episode, John interviews Nashville recording artist and songwriter Kevin Marcy in a special double episode all wrapped in one.

Kevin Marcy is a California-born country artist best known as a founding member of The Marcy Brothers, the trio he formed in 1983 with his brothers Kris and Kendal in Oroville, California. The group built a strong regional following before relocating to Nashville in pursuit of a major label deal, ultimately signing with Warner Bros. and Atlantic Records. 

Between 1989 and 1991, The Marcy Brothers charted six singles on the Billboard country charts, including their highest-charting hit, “Cotton Pickin’ Time,” and earned recognition for being among the first to record what would later become “Achy Breaky Heart.” 

During their run, they shared stages with legends like Brad Paisley, George Strait, Waylon Jennings, Merle Haggard, and Alabama. After the band disbanded in 1999, Kevin continued his career as a solo performer, carrying forward a lifetime rooted in country music, road-tested experience, and a deep connection to the craft.
