This week on Songwriter Connection, I'm joined by singer-songwriter and The Voice Season 17 winner Jake Hoot. Jake's powerful voice and heartfelt songwriting have earned him a loyal fanbase and opened doors across the country music world.

We talk about his journey from small-town beginnings to national television, what life has been like since winning The Voice, and the stories behind some of the songs that have connected so deeply with audiences. Jake also shares insights into his songwriting process, the challenges of navigating the music industry, and what's next on his musical horizon.

Of course, no episode of Songwriter Connection would be complete without music, as Jake performs a few songs live around the dining room table.

Whether you're a songwriter, a music fan, or simply love hearing the stories behind great songs, this is an episode you won't want to miss.
