Ep. 16 - Ross Ellis talks about writing "Neon Church" for his hometown hero Tim McGraw


Listen Later

We start by raving about Cam's new album The Otherside  which features songs written by Avicii, Harry Styles, Sam Smith and Lori McKenna. We also talk about new releases from Eric Church and Kip Moore. Kip's most recent song, "Don't Go Changing" was dedicated to help raise awareness and money for small, independent music venues who are struggling to survive due to the pandemic.

18:05- We get to talk with rising Country artist Ross Ellis about growing up in a small town in Louisiana and the path he's chosen to chase his dream of becoming a musician. Ross tells the story of moving to Nashville with little money, and renting a room at a motel near the Grand Ole Opry before moving in with fellow Nashville singer/songwriters Hunter Phelps and Jameson Rogers. He talks about getting his first major song "Neon Church" cut by Tim McGraw, his Louisiana hometown hero (they were in the same fraternity). He talks honestly about the processes and stories behind his songs and landing his first record deal with SONY Nashville.
