Bryan Andrews: Grit, Grizzly Cans & Challenging Country's Status Quo

Raised Rowdy — Fri, 23 Jan 2026 04:20:42 +0000

In this episode of Outside The Round, host Matt Burrill chops it up with rising country artist Bryan Andrews, a bold new voice out of Carrollton, Missouri. From his early days welding and dipping Skoal Wintergreen to blowing up on TikTok during the pandemic, Bryan shares his raw, unfiltered journey into country music. But what sets him apart isn’t just the music—it’s his willingness to speak openly about being a left-leaning artist in a genre dominated by conservative voices. Bryan dives into what it means to challenge the narrative from the inside, how he navigates small-town values with progressive ideals, and why he believes there’s more room in country music for open-minded conversation than people think. With plenty of laughs, real talk, and a spotlight on his new single “Grizzly Can,” this one’s for anyone who loves country music but doesn’t always fit the mold.

Roger Springer: Country Music Then & Now

Raised Rowdy — Fri, 16 Jan 2026 06:00:00 +0000

In this episode of Outside the Round, host Matt Burrill welcomes legendary country songwriter Roger Springer for an honest and heartfelt conversation about the craft, the culture, and the community of country music. Roger shares his journey from small-town Oklahoma to Nashville in 1990—landing a record deal within just two months—right at the heart of the '90s country explosion. After losing that first deal, Roger transitioned into full-time songwriting, building a legacy through hits with legends like Mark Chesnutt and carving a space for himself in country music history. He reflects on learning from the greats, the grind of life on the road, and the ever-changing landscape of the Nashville music industry. Now, Roger’s influence extends into the new generation of traditional-leaning country artists. He plays a vital role in mentoring and producing projects for rising voices like Jake Worthington, Will Bannister, and Colton Dawson—young talents reviving the spirit of '90s country with modern energy. Throughout the conversation, Roger emphasizes the power of simplicity, truth, and personal experience in songwriting—and why staying passionate about the craft is what keeps him going strong after all these years.

Raised Rowdy — Fri, 09 Jun 2023 17:00:00 +0000

Episode 126 is a special one to us and probably the most exhausted we've ever been while recording an episode. Rising Tour Manager/Content Specialist, Brennan Kato, hops on for this one. Brennan currently works full time for Americana artist, Drayton Farley, as his TM and Content Guy.

We first met Brennan back in 2019 at a Muscadine Bloodline show in his hometown of Carrolton, GA where he was working with at the time a baby Noah Hicks. Since then Brennan has worked his way to doing what he loves full time and calling Music City home. Brennan has also been thru some adveristy lately, having dealt with the tragedy of his apartment buring down while he was on the road.

We touch on many topics with this one and get to remincse on how we became best buds and family here in Nashville. For more on Brennan Kato give him a follow on social media and be on the lookout for him at all of Drayton Farley's upcoming shows!

Josh Terry is for lack of better terms a 'character' who carries one of the biggest personas that you will find in the country music podcast space! Josh has been a friend of the program for a very longtime so it was overdue to have him on as a guest AND it was only right to have Nicky T from Tales of The Front Row on to help co-host!

We got Josh's story, heard about his favorite trips to Nashville, where the love and passion for Country Music and Independent Artists comes from and got real with social media personas and the importance of Mental Health.

Learned a lot about Josh in this episode and hope y'all enjoy it as much as we did. One of the king's of Country/Southern Social Media, Josh Terry is a guy you wanna grab a beer with and support. Good guy putting in the time for folks who deserve a spotlight!
