What makes the Nashville songwriter culture unique?
The culture of being a Nashville songwriter is so different, and it's also so supportive, and it really tries not to be competitive and dog-eat-dog or anything like that. To me, the Nashville songwriter scene is like the coolest shit ever. I love it.
How did Hardy's career begin?
Welcome back to On the Bus with Troy Volhopper. I'm very excited for today's show. We're joined by a man who goes by just one name, but has 60 number one hits to that name, Hardy. You know his hits like One Beer and Truck Bed.
What recent achievements has Hardy accomplished?
In 2023, his incredible duet with Lanny Wilson on Wait in the Truck earned Hardy some hardware at the CMAs where he won, or they won, Musical Event of the Year and Music Video of the Year. He's a very busy man this year with an international tour that runs through September. And his first tour date is right here at Country Thunder today.
