Jordan Walker, from Texas, has been around music his whole life. In this episode we are going to talk about how he got kicked out of his high school choir his senior year and how his favorite number is 2 so he moved to Nashville on 2/22/2012 to pursue music. He met Johnny McGuire and they formed the duo Walker McGuire - we talk about how that started and the story behind their hit "Till Tomorrow." He is a regular at The Listening Room with a great group of guys he writes with including Mitchell Tenpenny, Adam Doleac, Devin Dawson, Andy Albert and more. Hear the story behind how he met Luke Combs in a bar when he was driving a car that wouldn't even start and how that friendship led them to write the hit song "When It Rains It Pours" that went #1 on his birthday, October 29, 2017. You'll also hear the story behind a favorite of mine that has not been released yet and is available for any artists out there looking for their next hit! The song, "Backseat Driver," is a song about what kids will say in the backseat and as a dad myself, it's a song that I absolutely love. I hope you enjoy this one as much as I did recording it. Here's Jordan Walker!
