You've never seen 20-something-year-old dudes turn to each other during a song and sing it to each other like they do at these shows. I'm like, young girls get into pop music or something. The dudes are rocking out, right? They're rocking out together, having bro time. And I've literally seen dudes like...
get so into the song they just launched the beer in the air like a like a firework they just had like i feel like they just had an out-of-body experience they're just having such a good time that they couldn't control herself they just throw the beer
Yes, sir. I grew up in northeast Georgia, right outside of Athens, bulldog country. And my daddy was a...
cattle rancher trader just a little bit everything in the cattle business and my mom was a nurse and i grew up uh working wild cattle and farming and hauling cows and different stuff grew up around country scene a good bit played a lot of country music growing up on the radio and i just fell in love with and found out that was my genre wow that's great so football big part of your life Yes, sir.
Played since I was a little boy.
Wow. That's great. So where'd you go to school at? I went to George Southern University. Played for four and a half years and had an injury. I fell into music, started writing, and... I never looked back on that.
No, I had a feeling like a few days before and text a buddy and said, Hey, from high school. I said, what are you doing this week? And he said, not much. I said, you want to come down and play some guitar? That was Sunday, Tuesday, tore my knee up. And, uh, Dove into it, and I said, maybe this is a sign from God that I need to be making music.
I listened to a lot of Waylon Jennings. A lot of Leonard Skinner, Kid Rock, Alan Jackson, Johnny Cash, Jason Aldean, getting a little more modern, a little closer to my teenage years. And I like Hank Williams Sr. a good bit too. Hank Jr. as well.
I got my first guitar at 16, and I couldn't wrap my head around learning to play it. And I started picking on it when I was getting done with college. And my mom had a heart condition, and I really wasn't getting a lot of progress. And she had a heart condition and went to the hospital and was on a ventilator for a little while.
And I remember when I was worried about her on the ventilator, I just coped by picking up the guitar. And over those couple days, I made the biggest jumps of my career learning guitar and just picked up as the days went by.
come in and see somebody you hadn't seen in a while. So you just kind of start shooting the shit. And eventually somebody's like, well, let me show you this idea. And they do an idea, and you bring what you had to the table. And sometimes they meet, sometimes they don't. Sometimes nobody's idea is the idea, and you come up with something new. I wrote a lot by myself when I was starting out.
I just was real determined to write my own songs. And when I got up to Nashville, I started getting in rooms with a lot of people from different backgrounds and different places and different writing styles. And I've really enjoyed it. We've been writing some of the best songs I've ever written in the past three or four months.
I had a first record, and then that was more of like a compilation over my first year and a half. And I wrote nearly every single one of those by myself, minus maybe two songs. Then the next record, which was my official first record that didn't come out as a compilation, was Acting Up Again. And I had wrote those ever since I got done with that first record and stacked them up.
And I probably had 30 songs I was sitting on at the time, maybe 35. And I just picked the best ones that I thought would go together on that record.
Full Moon Studio in Walkinsville, Georgia, where I still record all my stuff. His name is Jay Rogers. Oh, that's cool. And I called him in 2021 in July. He didn't answer. I emailed him. He answered. Went in there, cut one song, and we never looked back. We got 40-something songs out now, and we're working on finishing up this album soon. and kind of keep on going.
Yes, sir. It's the busiest year of my career tour-wise, and I think last year we probably played 50 shows maybe. So we had 100 on the books this year, and It's been great. I love waking up in a new town, going to get a cup of coffee, being a tourist, basically. Going to check out somewhere you've never been. The...
the different landscapes and just, it's basically just a different world everywhere you go and I'm enjoying it. That's great. Yeah, touring can be a, do you sleep well on a bus?
It's kind of bad, but everybody, everybody on the, everybody in the band says when they go home for a couple day break that they're like, I can't wait to get back on the bus because it just, we're basically more used to being on the bus than we are at home. Something about the white noise and the bus rolling down the road, I sleep better on the bus than I do at the house. So,
I just hope everybody that came to the show got away from whatever they got going on in their life. And for that, three, four hours, maybe the whole day. I hope they wake up in the morning and they go, we're going to the Gavin Adcock concert tonight. And they get with their friends, have some drinks, they go to dinner, they just make it a whole day.
And they party and get to the show and the anticipation is built up all day. I hope people want to come back.
