He asked if I thought the TAXI TV audience would be interested in knowing what he didn't know at the start of his career in music for sync.

EVERYBODY should join us for this episode, and if you have friends who aren't on TAXI's email list, please forward this email to them so they can start their sync careers with these priceless “hacks” that could otherwise take them years to uncover on their own!

Hit songwriter, Emily Weisband, joins Caroline for this episode of Get Real. When Caroline heard Emily's “Champagne & Sushi” she literally hit her knees and wept. She has never in her life felt more seen. She has lost 5 pregnancies and it is truly the saddest, most isolating, devastating experience, that you go through ALL ALONE as a woman. Yes of course your partner, family and friends are there and ache with you, but it's a heartbreaking solo journey. Emily wrote a song that captures every feeling a woman feels who goes through miscarriage. It's a true masterpiece. But that's what Emily does. To Caroline, and many others in the Nashville creative community, Emily is a musical genius. Her ability to capture raw human emotion and put it into song takes your breath away. She has written songs for Chris Young, Sheryl Crow, Anne Wilson, Jeremy Camp, Dasha, Danielle Bradbury, Lily Rose, Gabby Barrett, Camila Cabello, Hillary Scott, Noah Cyrus, Lauren Alaina, FGL, Sam Hunt, Dan & Shay, Old Dominion, Keith Urban, Darius Rucker to name a few. And with each song she writes, she lets the listener see themselves in the story, feel seen and a little less alone. It was so healing having such a raw real conversation with Emily all about the real, raw, often painful yet beautiful life experience.  Follow Get Real on IG: @GetRealCarolineHobby Follow Caroline Hobby on IG: @CaroHobby  Follow Emily Weisband on IG: @EmilyWeisband Have a question for Caroline??

The beloved alt-rock band Wilco has just released their latest record, “Cousin.” Frontman Jeff Tweedy talks to Tom about his creative process, why he doesn't want to perform a song he wrote about mass shootings in front of an audience, and why he doesn't feel beholden to his past music when writing new songs.

In just a handful of years, The Glorious Sons have gone from playing dirty rock clubs to sold out arenas all across Canada. Band members and brothers Brett and Jay Emmons tell Tom about their latest album, “Glory,” how the band came to be, and how criticism can be motivating.

Mike Shinoda opens up about Linkin Park's legacy, dives into his solo track "Already Over" and shares why he's been enjoying writing songs for himself lately.

Being a songwriter is much more than writing songs. I'm delighted to welcome Jesse Landers from the Georgia Songbirds onto the show for an outstanding conversation surrounding a songwriter's journey beyond the music. The quote for this episode is by Thomas Jefferson: “I'm a great believer in luck, and I find the harder I work, the more I have of it.” During our conversation, Jesse and I talk about the importance of being open to collaboration, working hard in order to have lucky moments and find success, learning every day, creating opportunities for others and giving back to the music industry, getting to know others through networking, helping others, always being nice, various content songwriters create to share their music and journeys, appreciating all genres of music, the difference between being a songwriter and artist, and much more. It was a blast having Jesse on the show, so I hope you love our conversation. Are you enjoying Write on Track? Do you have a topic suggestion for an episode? Would you like to be a guest?

Laura Story and her husband encountered a life-threatening illness early in their marriage. She may have written the song Blessings in just thirty minutes, but she needed to go through five years of ups and downs, trials and grief, to get there. This hit song has now gone on to inspire countless Christians who have been struggling through their own trials in life. In this interview from the Haven Today archives, Laura talks about the story behind this song, as well as how she incidentally became an award winning singer-songwriter in the first place. She's appeared on Haven Today several times now, but this 2011 interview was her first time speaking with Charles Morris. It's our prayer that no matter what you may be going through today, you might experience God's blessings through this all about Jesus conversation.
