Adam Shoenfeld has balanced a career as a first-called studio musician with a spot in Tim McGraw's touring band for the last nine years. He's also fostered rising talent as a co-writer and producer while nurturing a couple of musical side projects of his own, namely Digital Brains (a band influenced by rock and punk) and SunKat (a 70's pop-rock inspired duo with his wife Katie Cook).As concerts dried up during the pandemic, Shoenfeld channeled his creative energy into writing songs and producing a solo record in his home studio, pulling together the textures of classic rock, power pop, and adult alternative. By collaborating with those bands, he says he found his own voice too – one that he's proud to lend to the release of his first solo album, All the Birds Sing, in Winter 2021.
In 1994, at 20 years old, Shoenfeld moved to Nashville and soon integrated himself into the music community. He formed a band with “Big Kenny” Alphin called LuvjOi, which became one of the most popular draws on Nashville's rock scene in that era. When Big Kenny then formed country duo Big & Rich with John Rich, they enlisted Shoenfeld to play guitar on their 2004 breakout hit, “Save a Horse, Ride a Cowboy.” Around this same time, Shoenfeld and Rich teamed up to write a hit for Faith Hill, resulting in her 2005 No. 1 single, “Mississippi Girl.”Although he was offered a record deal as a country duo with a then-unknown Jason Aldean, Shoenfeld turned it down because he didn't want to be known as a country artist with all due respect to the genre. Yet he's been a bandleader and lead guitarist on every one of Aldean's solo albums since then – and many others too. Since 2011, he's received seven nominations from the Academy of Country Music for Guitar Player of the Year. He's also accrued credits on more than 40 No. 1 country hits, including modern classics like Florida Georgia Line's “Cruise.”

Brodie Stewart is true patriot and supporter of our military.  Brodie recently released a great country tune called “Born American” to show his support for our men and women in uniform.  From Brodie's bio: “Brodie grew up in the San Francisco Bay Area, Sacramento and spent his summers in Red Bluff, California. At a young age his favorite things to do were going to the Rodeo, listening to country music, singing and playing guitar. Soon enough, Brodie formed and fronted a southern rock band and had the good fortune of touring the country opening up for big artists in front of sold out arenas”. Brodie & I also chat about our common friend, Adam Shoenfeld.  Adam is a lifetime musician, playing along with all the greats in the country scene.  Check out Adam's bands Sunkat & Digital Brains.  Support the show (https://www.patreon.com/theprotectors)

CMT’s Katie Cook and in-demand Nashville guitarist/songwriter Adam Shoenfeld make up the husband-wife duo SunKat. Shortly after losing her sister Joanne earlier this year, Katie was inspired to write a new song, “Hey JoJo,” after her sister came to her in a dream to let her know she was alright. Joanne had a developmental disability, which gave her a unique view of the world, which is captured in the hopeful feel of "Hey JoJo."

Growth isn’t just about demand generation. It’s about customer success. Ultimately, your current customers determine the future of your company. That’s at least what Adam Shoenfeld thinks. Drift agrees. Adam’s company Siftrock was recently acquired by Drift, where Adam now works as GM of Siftrock, under the Drift umbrella. Before Siftrock, he’s founded various SaaS companies (Cheddr Media, Simply Measured)., and, most importantly, he prefers breakfast meetings. He’s seen way too many companies who just don’t get it: Instead of investing in their current clientele, they invest in lead generation and demand gen. He came on the show to share why he thinks differently.

Adam Shoenfeld is an ACM (American Country Music) nominated guitarist with a resume that rivals the best in the business, including being a bandmate of Jason Aldean and Tim McGraw and playing on over 45 #1 songs. He is also credited by many for helping establish a rock influence within the Country Music genre. Adam joins Country Music Made Me to discuss his childhood, growing up in New Jersey, and becoming infatuated by the guitar when he was only 5 years old. As his love for playing grew he would spend long days locked away in his bedroom creating music on his Tascam 4-Track cassette Recorder, recordings which he still has tucked away to this day. After playing in a few bands during High School Adam headed to Nashville with his bandmates in the Nathan Lee Band to chase their Rock n' Roll Dreams. Unfortunately the thoughts of becoming Rock Stars quickly fizzled but Adam never stopped pushing towards a career in music. Adam and Brendan talk about his time playing with Big Kenney and the pivotal moment that changed everything, when Big and Rich asked him to play guitar on their debut record Horse of a Different Color. It's the moment when Adam began to infuse his rock inspired guitar playing into the world of Country Music. Around that same time Adam started playing in Jason Aldean's showcase band as he worked to secure a record deal. At one time Adam and Jason were offered a deal as a duo but Adam wasn't ready to make Country Music his full time gig. Adam talks about the journey he's been on with Aldean and seeing him grow as an artist, as he's now played on all 10 of Jason's records. He also describes the difference between session playing and live gigs, as he only plays in the studio with Aldean but is also the longtime live touring guitarist for Tim McGraw. Finally, Adam talks about his many side projects which help to fulfill his love of all genres, including his debut solo album All the Birds Sing. It's a record inspired by many of his Rock n' Roll idols like Peter Frampton, The Beatles, and the Rolling Stones. The album was co-produced by Adam and his wife Katie Cook and showcases not only a more personal side of himself but also his profound musical talents, as he played almost every instrument on the album.
