We’re Getting Candid with Judah Akers from Judah & the Lion. The band formed in 2011 when the members were attending Belmont University in Nashville, and have released 4 studio albums in the past decade. Currently, they’re on tour with NEEDTOBREATHE.

We talk to Judah about how heartbreak and personal struggles nearly ended the band, how Judah finds a personal sense of responsibility to be vulnerable in his songwriting, and how the band stays grounded in the chaos of the touring 200+ days out of the year.
