In episode two of The Road Trip Playlists Podcast, I interview singer-songwriter Johnny Gates. We talk about what staying at home during COVID-19 has been like for creatives, how he got into his first band as a senior in high school in Providence, Rhode Island, his band moving to Nashville to work with producer Nathan Chapman (Taylor Swift, Keith Urban, Shania Twain,) and how Nashville is a paradise for songwriters. Johnny also tells fun stories from his time as a contestant on NBC's The Voice. We discuss his most recent releases and an upcoming EP—all that and more in this week's episode of The Road Trip Playlists Podcast.
