Knot Too Taboo

On today’s episode, Gretchen and Slade chat it up with Jordan Davis, a multi-platinum country music singer/songwriter with back-to-back #1 hits on the Country Music billboard charts, including his debut song “Single You Up” and “Take It From Me.” His debut album has more than a billion streams worldwide and he’s also nominated for the Academy of Country Music’s Best New Male Artist! 

The Nashville star gets real about his rise to fame, what he risked in order to pursue his music and the pivotal moment he almost gave up. He reveals how he deals with taboo topics like religion and politics in his music and what he thinks are the biggest misconceptions about traditional country music. You’ll hear how he met and fell for his wife and how they're able to make their marriage work as a lawyer and musician team. In addition to his music career and being a husband, he’s a new Dad and shares how Fatherhood has changed him and the way he communicates with his wife who has helped him balance his time between work and family, which he finds difficult. Plus, Gretchen talks Nanny drama and the hard lessons she and Slade have learned in finding and keeping the right one, why she kicked a stripper off stage, and how you know your partner is “the one”! It’s an episode you don’t want to miss!
