In this full-length episode of Fancy’s Unfiltered, Daniel Thomas sits down with country-rock artist Joe Hermes for a deep, honest conversation that hits every layer of what makes Joe the man and musician he is today.
Joe has lived through his share of life “resets” — moments that forced him to step back, refocus, and rebuild with intention. Through every challenge, one thing has stayed constant: faith and family first. From that foundation, Joe continues to chase his calling in music with grit, humility, and a drive that’s impossible to ignore.
This complete audio episode features the entire uncut conversation between Daniel and Joe — the mindset, the breakthroughs, the struggles, the growth, and the passion that fuels Joe’s country-rock sound. If you want the full story, this is where you’ll find it.

Joe is an incredible artist with a powerful journey. Sit back, relax, and enjoy this one.

In this episode of Fancy’s Unfiltered, we took the show on the road and sat down with the team at Bama Kush—right at their location—to talk about the rapidly changing cannabis industry in Cullman, Alabama.
We had a short but highly informative conversation about the local market, how legalization has shifted the landscape, and the various types of cannabis products available now. The team at Bama Kush shared valuable insights, and we got a taste of just how much the industry has evolved and how it's being received by the community.
While this was a shorter episode, it opened the door to bigger conversations. We're hoping to link up again soon for a deeper dive into the culture, the misconceptions, and the future of cannabis in Alabama.
This is a must-watch if you're curious about cannabis laws in Cullman or just want to learn more about how things are changing in your own backyard.

Fancy’s Unfiltered is more than a podcast — it’s a movement powered by authenticity, community, and real conversation. Created by Daniel Thomas and produced under the…
Each episode brings you unfiltered conversations with musicians, photographers, entrepreneurs, and unique voices from across the Southeast. These aren’t surface-level interviews. This is the real stuff — the passion, the failures, the breakthroughs, the identity shifts, the late-night “what am I doing with my life?” moments, and the clarity that shows up when people decide to stop playing roles and start living honestly.
What began as a bar-top conversation show has grown into a multi-platform storytelling studio. Through Fancy’s Media, Daniel now produces live music events, multi-camera performance recordings, artist features, fireside sessions, on-location productions, and creative documentaries that spotlight the heart of the local creative scene. But at the core of everything remains the mission of Fancy’s Unfiltered: to sit down, open up, and explore what drives people to chase the thing they love — even when it doesn’t make sense to anyone else.
You’ll hear from rising artists grinding through Alabama’s bar circuit. From seasoned musicians who’ve been told “no” more times than they can count. From creators who rebuilt their lives after hitting reset. From people with stories that remind us all just how similar our struggles really are.
If you’re looking for a podcast polished by PR scripts and media training, this isn’t it.
If you want authentic stories, real conversations, imperfect honesty, and the kind of moments that help you rethink your own purpose — welcome home.
Join the Fancy’s community, follow the journey, and be part of something growing way beyond the mic.
