 We talk with Paige King Johnson about her Grand Old Opry debut, where she was invited by the legendary Pam Tillis, her first UK tour, and her great frame of mind!    In a quiet North Carolina town 22 miles south of Raleigh, as a young 9-year-old girl, Paige King Johnson spent her days imitating the styles of Loretta, Patsy, Waylon, and Merle. Having a grandpa as her biggest fan also meant receiving the gift of her first guitar – a baby Taylor - and enrolling in lessons. After her grandpa passed, the bright-eyed dreamer carried on hismemory by taking her newfound discovery to local fairs, festivals, and any other stage she was allowed to stand on. As she grew older, Johnson added “opening act” to her resume, supporting chart topping artists like Kane Brown, Oliver Anthony, Randy Houser, Joe Nichols, Gabby Barrett, Clint Black, Diamond Rio, Scotty McCreery, Tracy Byrd, Kylie Morgan, Lonestar, Neal McCoy and more.  And with high school graduation came the realization that this was more than a hobby. The Angier native traded in horse pastures for the bright lights of Music City in 2015. Upon starting school at Belmont University for Music Business, Johnson honed in on the magic that had heavily influenced her as a child: the art of storytelling thru songwriting.    After stepping into the spotlight with her debut single “Water Down The Whiskey”, climbing to the #29 spot on Music Row charts, Johnson moved on to her next projects with the release of her singles “Just Like You”, “She Holds This House Together”, “Baby Don't” & more that completed her debut album, Honky Tonk Heart. Working alongside country-legend Pam Tillis, Johnson created multiple music videos which premiered on Country Music Television (CMT), RFD-TV, Cowboys & Indians, Heartland TV & Newsmax. Most recently, Johnson & Tillis tookon The Grand Ole Opry stage together for Paige's first time stepping into that hallowed circle.  Be sure to check her out here:  Website: paigekingjohnson.com  FB: Paige King Johnson  IG: Paigekingjohnson  Youtube: Paige King Johnson  TikTok: Paigekingjohnson

Send us a textEver wonder what really happens behind the bar while the airport roars outside? We bring in Andy, a veteran who's poured, plated, and problem‑solved across Dallas–Fort Worth for nearly two decades, to trace the wild arc from teenage shifts at El Chico to cross‑terminal utility runs and the cobwebbed revival of a shuttered wine and pizza bar after COVID. He unpacks the split personality of airport hospitality—line cook one hour, server the next, therapist by default—while revealing why simple food, cold beer, and a fast smile still beat any fancy concept when flights are late.The stories fly. A new‑hire prank becomes local legend thanks to a duct‑taped “squeegee sharpener.” A guest buys a beer, smashes the bottle, sprints for D5, and triggers an unforgettable moment when security opens a hidden wall and quietly disappears him. Nostalgia kicks in as we revisit tequilaria, Terminal E lore, and the way crews from rival spots still collaborate when the rush hits. The celeb sightings deliver texture, not ego: Cowboys players passing through, Stars great Jere Lehtinen dropping by, Linda Carter revealed only when the check prints, and a friendship with country star Joe Nichols built on the most overachieving Irish coffee you've ever heard described.What anchors it all is craft and community. Andy's path through Riata, Blue Mesa, a Tex‑Mex cantina, and auxiliary outposts shows how airport bars survive constant change—new ownership, new terminals, new uniforms—without losing the heart of service. If you love travel, restaurants, or just a good story told with bite, you'll find yourself nodding along, laughing, and maybe rethinking that next gate‑bar stop. Hit follow, share this with a service‑industry friend, and drop a review to tell us your best airport bar moment—what's the wildest thing you've seen between boarding calls?Support the show

In this episode, I sit down with drummer David Northrup for a deep and wide-ranging conversation about groove, longevity, and serving the song. David has built an incredible career by doing precisely that, whether he's playing traditional country, blues, soul, or roots-based music. We start by talking about his current work with Joe Nichols, why it's such a musical and personal fit, and what it means to work for an artist who values authenticity, consistency, and real country music. David shares stories from the road and explains why being a good human is just as important as being a great drummer.We spend time digging into David's early musical influences growing up in central New York, where constant exposure to Motown, singer-songwriter records, pop radio, and classic albums shaped his musical instincts. David talks about learning by listening, studying album credits, and developing a deep appreciation for feel and style long before social media or online tutorials existed. He reflects on how that environment taught him to truly listen, absorb, and respect the music rather than chase trends.David walks through his path to becoming a professional drummer, from starting in school band programs to a pivotal moment when he saw Chuck Mangione perform while in college. That experience helped him realize music was the path he needed to take seriously. We talk about the importance of mentors, including teachers who challenged him when he wasn't ready and supported him when he was, and how discipline, fundamentals, and humility played a massive role in his development.We dive deep into David's years in Nashville, including his first five years building connections, studio work, and eventually landing his long-running gig with Travis Tritt. David explains how Nashville truly is a five-year town, why patience matters, and how preparation and professionalism keep you working once you get the call. We also talk about his deep admiration for drummers like Carlos Vega, Jeff Porcaro, Steve Jordan, Russ Kunkel, and others, and why groove, taste, and feel will always matter more than flash.A significant highlight of the conversation is David's time touring with Boz Scaggs. He shares what it was like to step into such an iconic musical legacy, learn to play with conviction at very low volumes, and work alongside world-class musicians night after night. We talk about why playing the room matters, how restraint can be more complicated than power, and why those lessons apply to every drummer at every level.We also spend time talking about David's solo record Shapes, including how it came together over many years, the musicians involved, and why recording live, organic performances was central to the album's sound. David explains his philosophy of making music that's groove-focused, accessible, and enjoyable for listeners beyond just musicians. We close by discussing teaching, clinics, the importance of shuffle feel, regional time concepts, and the soft skills that help musicians not just get gigs but keep them. It's an honest, thoughtful conversation packed with wisdom for musicians and music lovers alike.To learn more about David, visit his website.

Catching up with Annie Bosko after 20 years felt like picking up the same honest, fiery conversations we’ve always had—about life, faith, resilience, and finding your way. She’s still the California cowgirl with a backbone of steel and a heart wide open. Her debut album California Cowgirl shows that spirit in full force, with standout tracks like the Haggard-inspired “Bright and Blue Sky,” the tough-love jolt of “Cowboy Up,” and powerhouse collabs with Dwight Yoakam, Joe Nichols, and Darius Rucker. At the center of it? Love God. Love People. And Cowboy Up when life gets real.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
