On this one I catch up with Nashville artist Brooks Herring as he prepares for the semi final this weekend of ‘Nashville’s Next Rising Star’ competition at Dierks Bentley’s Whiskey Row. We chat al things military and how song writing has helped in the journey from the battlefield to Broadway and how a life in that military can help when it comes to applying those lessons as an artist.

We also touch upon his recent whistle stop tour of England back in mid march, amidst talk of a return and what else the future holds for Brooks Herring.
