In this episode, hosts Eric Kilby and Mike Jay spend time with musical genius and multi-instrumentalist Chad Jeffers. For the last 13 years, he has been an essential member of country superstar Carrie Underwood's band. He also spent many years touring with guitar sensation Keith Urban, the legandary Kenny Loggins, and so many more. While his specialty instruments are guitar, dobro, and pedal steel, Chad can pretty much play anything with strings on it (not to mention other instruments like saxophone and harmonica). He has performed around the world for live audiences including USO shows, award shows, live TV, and countless others. He is also a speaker, author, and an educator.

Some highlights and moments you don't want to miss in this episode are:

  • How coins on a train track helped launched his career
  • Landing on an aircraft carrier
  • Having to learn new instruments for a tour/show
  • Days off during international travel
  • A former student yelling his name at the CMA awards
  • Walking "the monorail" in the dark with a spotlight on you while playing
  • Chad shares a great reminder in this week's 'Road Map for Life'
