Kick back and turn up the volume — it’s time for “Talk and Tunes”! Host Stacie Jowers brings you laidback conversations with some of the best up-and-coming and independent country artists from around the world. It’s all about good laughs, great stories, and a shared love of country music — like sittin’ on the porch, just talkin’ with a friend.

In this engaging conversation, Cody Hibberd joins in to discuss the diverse landscape of country music, emphasizing the importance of authenticity and personal storytelling. We discuss the challenges and triumphs of being a musician, including the pressures of performing when health issues arise. Cody discusses his time on CBS’s “The Road” and how its unique format drew him to the show. Of course, we had some light-hearted moments talking about hunting, the influence of mentors, and a fascinating take on who our dinner companions would have been!
