This week on Hitting The Road, we sit down with Brooks Herring for a grounded conversation about songwriting, persistence, and carving out a lane in today’s country music landscape.

Brooks shares his journey from small-town roots to building a career the long way—one song, one show, and one relationship at a time. We talk about the discipline behind his writing process, the realities of chasing momentum in a competitive industry, and how staying authentic has shaped both his sound and his outlook.

Along the way, Brooks opens up about lessons learned on the road, the importance of community, and what keeps him motivated when progress feels slow. It’s an honest look at the work it takes to keep moving forward—on stage, in the studio, and in life.

If you’re an artist, entrepreneur, or anyone committed to doing meaningful work without cutting corners, this episode will resonate.
