Braden Jamison's voice hits you immediately – authentic, rooted in tradition, yet distinctly his own. The Oklahoma native's path to Nashville wasn't straight, having grown up playing four sports simultaneously before making the pivotal decision to quit basketball his junior year to pursue music. That choice led to an unforgettable opportunity: opening for Toby Keith after just one band rehearsal.
After moving to Nashville in 2020 to attend Belmont University, Braden embraced the songwriter's grind, collaborating with anyone willing while developing thick skin through critique. His persistence paid off when a publishing class introduction to Chris at Seagull Music led to an internship that evolved into his first publishing deal in 2024.
The stories behind Braden's songs reveal both his creative process and lived experience. "CattyWampus," a standout track from his May EP release, began as a title nobody wanted to write until Lee Star embraced the concept, resulting in what Braden describes as his favorite song sonically. "Suits Me Just Fine" captures the reality of driving between gigs with barely enough money for gas while watching friends pursue more lucrative careers – "Ain't nobody getting rich, sometimes we play for tips." Meanwhile, "When It Comes to You" emerged victorious after Braden wrote three consecutive love songs, searching for the perfect track to complete his project.
Braden's band name "The Neon Strangers" came about accidentally when his brother jokingly suggested it during a show introduction. Now touring regularly, he finds the greatest reward in fans singing his lyrics back to him and sharing how his music has become part of their lives.
With his distinctive voice, thoughtful songwriting, and hard-earned wisdom ("The only way it for sure doesn't happen is if you stop doing it"), Braden Jamison represents country music's promising future. Listen and discover an artist whose honky-tonk heart and genuine approach to his craft will leave you wanting more.

I enjoyed this episode so much.
His voice and his songs are soamazing.
(00:26):
We're going to dive into how hewas playing four sports at a
time when he was growing up inOklahoma and decided he wanted
to pursue music.
He quit basketball to playmusic and then ended up moving
to Nashville in 2020, got hisfirst pub deal in 2024.
We're going to talk about all ofthat, dive into some songs off
of his new EP that just came outthis May, and he's going to
(00:47):
tell some stories behind thesongs off of a couple of those
and play them.
Can't wait for you to hear it.
I know this guy is just aboutto launch his career big time.
He's so so good.
Let's get into it.
Here is Brayden Jameson.
All right, here we are back inNashville.
Brayden Jameson, how you doing,brother?
(01:08):
I'm good man.
How are you Good?
Thanks for coming in.
Yeah, bright and early.
Oh yeah, thanks for having me.
Man, you've got a lot of stuffgoing on.
I'm excited to kind of diveinto the new songs that just
came out in May and just all thestuff going on.
But let's go back to Oklahoma.
Speaker 2 (01:30):
Take me back to the beginning.
Yeah, man, I grew up aroundmusic always.
My dad was a pastor for most ofmy life, so we were at church
all the time and I'd get boredand see something and go play it
.
So it got in me that way prettyearly, um, and then grew up
playing sports and everything,which is good, and a lot of that
(01:52):
translates over into how I domusic now.
Speaker 1 (01:56):
so it was good what were uh, what were some of the
biggest musical influences backthen?
Speaker 2 (02:01):
back then I would say I have a sister, that's I'm the
baby of the family, okay, andmy sister's nine years older
than me, and so she would takeme to school and we played brad
paisley, josh turner, john mayerall the stuff that was at its
peak back then, which wasawesome.
Um, and then, whatever, myparents were listening to a lot
of 90s country and classic rockand stuff like that.
Speaker 1 (02:23):
Yeah, I can hear the early country uh in your songs
quite a bit.
Um so, uh, what like?
What was the shift for you?
Like, when did you decide?
Like, hey, I want to do thisfor a living?
Speaker 2 (02:35):
I think my junior year of high school.
I decided not to playbasketball that year and I just
kind of, like I said, I playedfour sports and I wanted to play
music a little bit more.
So that's kind of what I didwith that time and we got to
open for Toby Keith that winterand that was kind of the first
(02:57):
experience that I had.
That was like wow, I want to dothis for the rest of my life.
Speaker 1 (03:01):
Yeah, and was that back home?
Mm-hmm, yeah, how did you landthat deal?
Speaker 2 (03:07):
it was through.
It was like a gubernatorialinaugural event and Toby's from
Oklahoma yeah, obviously so hewas playing and we just kind of
I honestly don't have any idea.
We, we had no business beingthere.
We actually had never played asa band and rehearsed the night
(03:28):
before for the first time, sothat was a pretty nerve wracking
experience.
So now I feel like we can doanything.
Speaker 1 (03:34):
Yeah, man, that's crazy.
So all right, so then you movedhere in 2020, is that right
yeah went to Belmont.
That's right.
So then, what was life likewhen you first got here?
Did you already know anybody intown or did you just kind of
move in?
It was like, all right, I gotta, I gotta get out and start
meeting people not really.
Speaker 2 (03:53):
There were one or two people maybe that I had met, um
, that I knew were going tobelmont, uh, but it was a pretty
like fresh start, um, and itwas a culture shock for sure,
being from where I'm from andthen moving out here where it's
going on and nothing all thetime, and but I love it.
Speaker 1 (04:13):
Yeah, Uh.
So what did you do in the earlydays to kind of build the camp
up?
Speaker 2 (04:18):
Man, just I would write with anybody that would
write with me, anybody thatwould write with me.
And one thing that's reallyhelped even now is having people
critique my songs, people thatI really respect and admire
their opinion.
Just have them tell me whatthey feel like is going wrong in
(04:39):
the song and I'll go back andtry to fix it.
And I don't think it's doneuntil it's on a DSP necessarily.
Yeah.
Speaker 1 (04:46):
Who would you say like, like, talking about that,
like you know, some people likegetting critiqued Uh, I mean you
should, right, but then like um, you gotta have thick skin too,
especially in the beginning.
To like hear, like, yeah, thatsong's no good.
Um, who's your like?
Speaker 2 (05:05):
who's your favorite like go-to person when it comes
to that?
Speaker 1 (05:07):
for sure, yeah, yeah, yeah, and he will rip them
apart yeah, yeah but Iappreciate it, I really do, yeah
all right, let's talk about uh,your first pub deal.
Uh was four years after youmoved here, um, so how did you?
How'd you get hooked up withseagull?
Speaker 2 (05:22):
so I was, chris came and talked to my publishing
class at belmont, which wastaught by marty wheeler, who's
also awesome um, and I noticedwe had some oklahoma ties, chris
and I did um, and so I justemailed him.
I was like, hey, man, I'd loveto come show you some songs and
(05:42):
have you tell me what's goingwrong, kind of thing.
And I did that several times.
And then they asked me to betheir writing intern where
basically I got a mini deal forlike the semester, yeah, and
then they just I never left.
Speaker 1 (05:59):
And I love it.
Speaker 2 (05:59):
It's the best people over there.
They have great songs comingout every day.
Yeah, so they're the best let's.
They have great songs comingout every day.
Yeah, so they're the best.
Speaker 1 (06:06):
Um let's dive into your music.
So, uh, you just put out, uh,your album in may.
Uh, you got to play some ofthose uh songs the week that it
came out.
Uh, both here and the bluebird,yep.
So you know what was that likeputting that project together.
(06:26):
You're new in the industry, sofor everybody out there
listening just kind of give alittle bit of background of like
everything that's behind thescenes that happens when it's
like you know, the listener justgets this music.
You know 100,000 songs that arereleased on a daily basis, you
know, on DSPs.
Many of them don't know all thework that goes into it, so talk
(06:48):
about that a little bit.
Speaker 2 (06:56):
Yeah, I've been saying ever since it came out
that I've put out a good amountof music in the last few years,
but this felt like my real debutjust in town, yep, and it was
the first time I got to do itwith a team around me, which was
awesome and I'm really proud ofit.
But a lot went into it.
I made probably a 30 pagerelease plan going into it and
just it's the first time I'veever been able to put everything
(07:18):
I had into the strategy and therelease and that whole thing
how many songs did you have topick from?
probably 8 to 12, but these sixwere kind of we knew we were
going to do this projectbasically since I got over at
seagull, yeah, until we werekind of writing forward and I
(07:40):
had some in already that werewrote, so it wasn't too hard
to pick this time.
Speaker 1 (07:46):
Yeah Well, I'm excited to dive into those songs
, but before we get there, talkabout what touring is like,
especially after not putting aband together a day before a
show.
How did you put your bandtogether?
You've toured and opened up forsome great people, so talk
(08:06):
about that a little bit.
Speaker 2 (08:07):
It's a whole lot of fun.
It can get on top of you if youlet it.
I will say so.
You just got to be careful outthere and remind yourself that
so many people would kill to bedoing what you're doing when you
start getting tired, but I loveit to be doing what you're
doing when you start gettingtired, but I love it.
It's one of my favorite partsof the process.
(08:27):
And just shaking hands afterthe show and I think when people
sing your song back to you isprobably the greatest feeling in
this business, so that'sawesome.
And then just meeting peopleand having them tell you like,
hey, this helped me through this.
We listen Now we have a memoryof us doing this to this song
(08:49):
and it's the coolest thing.
Speaker 1 (08:52):
Yeah, and you've got a band name.
So how'd that come about?
Speaker 2 (08:56):
That was.
We were playing Old Red inTishomingo, Oklahoma three years
ago I think, and my brother'sin my band and I had a song it's
a terrible song called NeonStranger and they had like a
radio DJ host that nightintroducing us and he's like
(09:19):
Brayden Jameson and is there aband name?
And my brother just likejokingly said the Neon Strangers
.
And I didn't know he was jokingand I was like that's pretty
cool, jameson and is there aband name?
And my brother just likejokingly said the neon strangers
.
And I didn't know he was jokingand I was like that's pretty
cool, but we're like walking onstage after they said he's like
dude, I was joking, you know, Iwas like too late.
Speaker 1 (09:33):
Now we're rolling with it.
So we just stuck with it.
Man, that's hilarious.
Um, all right, let's uh, let'sdive into some songs, man, um,
do you have a favorite song offthe EP?
Speaker 2 (09:49):
That's a tough question.
Probably Caddy Wampus.
Speaker 1 (09:55):
Okay Sonically for sure, dude, it's like it's so
good that swampy like justgroove to it is so cool.
Speaker 2 (10:03):
It came out exactly how I wanted it and we did a
demo.
Lee star and I did um when wewrote it and I was like I'm
gonna pretty much copy this andwe changed a couple of things,
um, but sonically for sure,caddy wampus even it kind of
holds a special place in myheart too, because I pitched
that all around town.
Nobody wanted to write a songcalled caddy wampus until lee
(10:26):
star, and I feel like we did ityeah so take me into the room
that day.
Well, I think we were kind ofstruggling to get a hook to
write and I was like dude, I'vebeen pitching this around,
nobody wants to take it.
If you don't take it, I'mprobably never going to ride it,
never pitch it again.
I was like, what do you thinkabout caddy wampus?
(10:48):
And he's like dude, I love that.
And then we just startedkicking around what it could be
like diamond rio, beautiful mess, kind of wacky, like I'm doing
this because I'm all confusedand stuff, and came out pretty
good, I think, and we justlaughed for like three hours
that day.
We were just cracking up.
Speaker 1 (11:06):
So did you just have the hook or did you have the
idea of like where?
Speaker 2 (11:09):
that's where you wanted that idea to go,
Literally just the wordcattywampus and I thought it was
going to be a heartbreak thing.
And he's like what, if it waslike a love song, I'd be like
that'd be sick.
Yeah, Was it a Lee?
(11:29):
And I especially have thetendency to like mess around and
say dumb stuff while we'rewriting, and when you're writing
a song called Caddy Wampusespecially.
So we probably could havewritten it in two hours, but it
took a little bit longer thatday, yeah man, what, what is
your?
Speaker 1 (11:45):
what's your natural process?
Are you more of the hook ideaguy or music?
Speaker 2 (11:55):
hook, idea guy or um music.
I would say idea to start theday, typically, just because I'm
an artist and people kind oflook to me for that um.
But I'm also like I co-producedthis ep and so I love the, the
musical aspect of it too andeverything like that, with the
stops and changes, and I love itall yeah, um, all right, let's
(12:20):
let's dive into, uh, when, thewhen the song mentor and uh
critiquer becomes the songwriter.
Speaker 1 (12:30):
Um, let's talk about, uh, the song you wrote with
chris, yeah so chris is on threeof them.
Speaker 2 (12:39):
Three of them, yep, um, which I believe is the first
time we wrote together, whichis intimidating, super
intimidating.
Yeah, because at this point allhe had done is yeah, because at
this point all he had done ishelp me make my songs less bad.
So I had a song.
The first one we wrote wassuits me, just fine, and it was
(13:00):
with cam newbie and chris cam'salso great man cam is
nashville's best kept secret andhe's about to not be a secret
anymore.
So, um, we took suits me, justfine, which is a song we've been
playing for two years probably.
So we had the idea obviouslycoming in and the structure and
all of that, and we just kind ofbuttoned it up a little bit.
(13:23):
And then we did Making it Up asI Go, which Jack Brasfield is
on, and Cam and Chris, and thenCriminal Record.
That probably took the mostdigging.
That took a few days because Ialso had already written that
one and we kind of had to shiftgears a little bit, but we got
it and I love it.
Speaker 1 (13:43):
Yeah, I love suits me just fine.
You know the it.
It really brought back likepersonal memories for me.
You know, talking about yourfriends that are bankers, making
bank and getting dressed up andall that.
And when I'm like, mybackground before I started the
listening room was in finance,ok, and I literally moved to
(14:05):
Nashville in 2003 to pursue anartist career first and then
shifted over into songwriting,but I was a banker during the
day to pay the bills and man, Ijust like you know, playing Fort
Worth one night and back inTennessee the next, and, like
you know, just so many memoriesof like, yeah, dude, I relate,
(14:28):
like you're not making enoughmoney to even pay for gas, but
it's like you're doing it,that's awesome.
So, like, take me into the theroom, let's talk about that one
a little bit.
Did, uh, did you come up withthat idea?
So it's been just fine.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
So, um, yeah, just how did howdid that right go that day?
It?
Speaker 2 (14:47):
was.
It was, um, different for me,for sure, because I had already
written the song in its entirety.
Um, and it's always a littlebit weird cause you get married
a little bit to what you've done, especially cause we had been
playing it out for two years andpeople are like when is that
coming out?
And then you change it and yousend it to the people that have
(15:07):
heard it and they're like, wait,what?
But it was fun, man, it was.
Those are always fun.
We ride them at night, usuallyafter the day on those rewrites,
and it was just cool to seelike it was almost symbolic,
like something I had beentouring around with for a couple
of years, bringing it toNashville, and it just got
(15:30):
elevated with these riders and Iknew it was going to be for the
better a lot of true stories inthere yes, yeah, yep.
Speaker 1 (15:39):
What's some of the favorite memories on the road
that helped craft that song?
Speaker 2 (15:43):
I think.
So I wrote that song actually.
Um, we played mercury lounge intulsa a couple years ago and I
drove which we have a directflight now, which is pretty sick
, but I used to just drive itevery time, um, and we didn't
make any money, like literallyno money.
I think we got free drinks andI'm on I-40 east and the line
(16:12):
used to be tonight we're out inFort Worth, come tomorrow we're
going to be at the Mercury,which is now changed, obviously,
but that's kind of the whole.
Where the whole song startedwas what am I doing out here,
like I'm so broke?
I was in college at that timejust playing country music man.
Speaker 1 (16:32):
Yeah, for the love of it.
Well, I love the song and uh,like I said earlier, man, your,
your, uh, your voice is just,you know, I can hear the the old
country influences.
Um, you know, some of the runsthat you do vocally are just
really really good.
And uh, thank you, and I'mexcited to see what happens.
You want to play a little bitof that one for us?
Speaker 3 (16:50):
Yeah, here we go.

stuff, which is where it'sreally at.
Speaker 1 (21:02):
Yeah, yeah, that's.
That's good money there.
Um, let's dive into one moresong.
Um, when it comes to you, youwrote that, uh, with my buddy,
mark Irwin, and uh, uh and uh.
Another another great song Iloved off the ep.
Uh, take me into the storybehind that one yeah, that was.
Speaker 2 (21:21):
So.
I was in college, um, fixing togo home for the summer and I
knew I was about to cut in tulsaand, uh, I needed a love song
for the project.
It was the last one that I knewdid not have a song in that
slot, and so I was runningaround town that week like, hey,
(21:43):
I've got to get a love songbefore I go home.
And I wrote one with SJMcDonald and Kenny Whitmire and
I was like this is it.
And then I had to double.
That day went straight from thatright, was 30 minutes late
because we were wrapping it up,and wrote another love song,
which I'm probably going to putout beginning of next year, with
(22:06):
Mark Irwin and Lee Star, and Iwas like, all right, we beat the
last one, this is it.
And then the following day,davis loose, mark erwin and I
wrote when it comes to you, andthat was the one.
So three writes in a row, twodays, thought I had it every
time.
Yeah, so I'm glad there wasn'ta fourth day or a third day I
guess, but um, so did you comeup with that idea too?
Speaker 1 (22:29):
I did, yeah, and what was the what's the backstory on
these songs?
Speaker 2 (22:36):
That one's heavily inspired by my girlfriend.
Okay, but originally I think itwas actually Davis's idea.
It was when it comes to me,which, now that I'm saying that
out loud after knowing the other, I'm like oh, I can't believe I
even did that.
(22:56):
And we tried to write it and itdidn't really work out.
And then I went home andrewrote the second verse and
sent it, and Davis fought backfor the better on the course.
So, yeah, it ended up beinggood.
Speaker 1 (23:09):
Davis is another one of those guys that, uh, he, he's
become a good friend too, and Imet him in St Augustine at the
festival years and years ago.
We always have two localsongwriters from the Florida
area that open the show up, andthe first year that Davis was
(23:33):
there, you know we hit it off.
He was just really cool and Ithought he was super talented,
especially for his age.
And you know I was like dude,you need to move to Nashville.
And he's like yeah, yeah, yeah,you know that's the plan.
And then a full year goes byand we go back the following
(23:53):
year to the festival and heplayed it again.
So I gave him a hard time and Iwas like man, it's been a year,
like, what are you doing?
And uh, and he was like man, ifyou give me a job, I'll come.
And I was like done.
So he, uh, he packed up and andmoved here and worked here at
the listening room for a while.
Um, man, he's just uh likesuper talented.
(24:15):
And um, we've never writtentogether, but I've heard that
from many writers that, like,when he pushes back, he's, he's
pretty brilliant when it comesto that stuff so yeah, if you
don't love davis loose, there'ssomething wrong, that's right
yeah, you can't walk into a roomwithout just feeling his
presence when he's aroundexactly, and if you do.
He's gonna make sure you, you dofeel it's exactly right, um,
(24:37):
talk to me a little bit moreabout uh when it comes to you,
and then let's play a little bitof that one yeah, I mean it's
uh, it's one of my favoriteslyrically.
Speaker 2 (24:46):
It may be, it may be the best song lyrically in my
opinion on the ep um, it's justpretty airtight, um, and it was
kind of out of my wheelhouse alittle bit.
I never wrote a lot of lovesongs leading up to that point,
um, but I was super proud whenwe left that day and I knew I
(25:10):
wasn't just throwing it on tothrow it on, because I had just
written two other songs that Iwas really proud of to put on,
yeah, and so it was kind of like, okay, well, I know this one is
at least the best of these andnow it's one of my favorites.
Yeah, you want to play a little?
Speaker 1 (25:25):
bit.
Speaker 2 (25:25):
Yep.
Speaker 3 (25:41):
I've never been too good at knowing what to say.
I've been known to let mythoughts get in the way, but I
(26:01):
ain't holding back.
This time I'm just sayingwhat's on my mind.
When it comes to you, the wordsjust fall like rain from the
sky, no thinking at all.
I need for you to know I loveyou and letting it show.
(26:30):
It comes so naturally when itcomes to you.
It just comes to me.
Speaker 1 (26:52):
Man, another great song, dude, and I love the
chords that you hit there andjust melodically.
Your voice is so dang good man,Thank you.
Yeah, man, what kind of advicewould you give new writers?
You know, I mean, it happensstill fairly fast for you in
town.
You know, compared to like,what the average is.
(27:13):
Everybody says it's, you know,like a 10-year town and
sometimes I see that turn intomore like 12, 15 years.
Um, like, what do you think wasthe the magic potion for you to
like find seagale and do allthese things so quickly?
Speaker 2 (27:29):
well, I don't have everything figured out by any
means, but I would say the bestadvice I ever got was actually
from my dad and he said keepyour mind open and your mouth
shut.
And I learned through myinternship especially was just
like a semester long clinic ofthis is how we really do it as
(27:54):
professionals here and this ishow I hadn't co-written a ton at
that point either.
So start doing that as early asyou can to just get the feel of
how to command a room and sitback.
If you need to sit back and letsomebody else take the reins.
But that's what I'd say, andjust be good to people.
Speaker 1 (28:15):
Yeah, love that man.
I always end on this question,so we'll, if you could, go back
to eight-year-old you now, whatyou're doing, and still so much
more to come.
Man, what kind of advice wouldyou give yourself today?
Advice would you give yourselftoday?
What a question.
Speaker 2 (28:34):
Honestly, just don't quit.
Speaker 1 (28:43):
If it doesn't happen, it doesn't happen, but it's not
going to be because you quit.
Speaker 2 (28:49):
Keep playing for those tips and beer.
That's right.
The only way it for suredoesn't happen is if you stop
doing it.
Speaker 1 (28:52):
Yeah, so Great advice .

This week I'm sitting down withBrayden Jameson.
I enjoyed this episode so much.
His voice and his songs are soamazing.
(00:26):
We're going to dive into how hewas playing four sports at a
time when he was growing up inOklahoma and decided he wanted
to pursue music.
He quit basketball to playmusic and then ended up moving
to Nashville in 2020, got hisfirst pub deal in 2024.
We're going to talk about all ofthat, dive into some songs off
of his new EP that just came outthis May, and he's going to
(00:47):
tell some stories behind thesongs off of a couple of those
and play them.
Can't wait for you to hear it.
I know this guy is just aboutto launch his career big time.
He's so so good.
Let's get into it.
Here is Brayden Jameson.
All right, here we are back inNashville.
Brayden Jameson, how you doing,brother?
(01:08):
I'm good man.
How are you Good?
Thanks for coming in.
Yeah, bright and early.
Oh yeah, thanks for having me.
Man, you've got a lot of stuffgoing on.
I'm excited to kind of diveinto the new songs that just
came out in May and just all thestuff going on.
But let's go back to Oklahoma.
Speaker 2 (01:30):
Take me back to the beginning.
Yeah, man, I grew up aroundmusic always.
My dad was a pastor for most ofmy life, so we were at church
all the time and I'd get boredand see something and go play it
.
So it got in me that way prettyearly, um, and then grew up
playing sports and everything,which is good, and a lot of that
(01:52):
translates over into how I domusic now.
Speaker 1 (01:56):
so it was good what were uh, what were some of the
biggest musical influences backthen?
Speaker 2 (02:01):
back then I would say I have a sister, that's I'm the
baby of the family, okay, andmy sister's nine years older
than me, and so she would takeme to school and we played brad
paisley, josh turner, john mayerall the stuff that was at its
peak back then, which wasawesome.
Um, and then, whatever, myparents were listening to a lot
of 90s country and classic rockand stuff like that.
Speaker 1 (02:23):
Yeah, I can hear the early country uh in your songs
quite a bit.
Um so, uh, what like?
What was the shift for you?
Like, when did you decide?
Like, hey, I want to do thisfor a living?
Speaker 2 (02:35):
I think my junior year of high school.
I decided not to playbasketball that year and I just
kind of, like I said, I playedfour sports and I wanted to play
music a little bit more.
So that's kind of what I didwith that time and we got to
open for Toby Keith that winterand that was kind of the first
(02:57):
experience that I had.
That was like wow, I want to dothis for the rest of my life.
Speaker 1 (03:01):
Yeah, and was that back home?
Mm-hmm, yeah, how did you landthat deal?
Speaker 2 (03:07):
it was through.
It was like a gubernatorialinaugural event and Toby's from
Oklahoma yeah, obviously so hewas playing and we just kind of
I honestly don't have any idea.
We, we had no business beingthere.
We actually had never played asa band and rehearsed the night
(03:28):
before for the first time, sothat was a pretty nerve wracking
experience.
So now I feel like we can doanything.
Speaker 1 (03:34):
Yeah, man, that's crazy.
So all right, so then you movedhere in 2020, is that right
yeah went to Belmont.
That's right.
So then, what was life likewhen you first got here?
Did you already know anybody intown or did you just kind of
move in?
It was like, all right, I gotta, I gotta get out and start
meeting people not really.
Speaker 2 (03:53):
There were one or two people maybe that I had met, um
, that I knew were going tobelmont, uh, but it was a pretty
like fresh start, um, and itwas a culture shock for sure,
being from where I'm from andthen moving out here where it's
going on and nothing all thetime, and but I love it.
Speaker 1 (04:13):
Yeah, Uh.
So what did you do in the earlydays to kind of build the camp
up?
Speaker 2 (04:18):
Man, just I would write with anybody that would
write with me, anybody thatwould write with me.
And one thing that's reallyhelped even now is having people
critique my songs, people thatI really respect and admire
their opinion.
Just have them tell me whatthey feel like is going wrong in
(04:39):
the song and I'll go back andtry to fix it.
And I don't think it's doneuntil it's on a DSP necessarily.
Yeah.
Speaker 1 (04:46):
Who would you say like, like, talking about that,
like you know, some people likegetting critiqued Uh, I mean you
should, right, but then like um, you gotta have thick skin too,
especially in the beginning.
To like hear, like, yeah, thatsong's no good.
Um, who's your like?
Speaker 2 (05:05):
who's your favorite like go-to person when it comes
to that?
Speaker 1 (05:07):
for sure, yeah, yeah, yeah, and he will rip them
apart yeah, yeah but Iappreciate it, I really do, yeah
all right, let's talk about uh,your first pub deal.
Uh was four years after youmoved here, um, so how did you?
How'd you get hooked up withseagull?
Speaker 2 (05:22):
so I was, chris came and talked to my publishing
class at belmont, which wastaught by marty wheeler, who's
also awesome um, and I noticedwe had some oklahoma ties, chris
and I did um, and so I justemailed him.
I was like, hey, man, I'd loveto come show you some songs and
(05:42):
have you tell me what's goingwrong, kind of thing.
And I did that several times.
And then they asked me to betheir writing intern where
basically I got a mini deal forlike the semester, yeah, and
then they just I never left.
Speaker 1 (05:59):
And I love it.
Speaker 2 (05:59):
It's the best people over there.
They have great songs comingout every day.
Yeah, so they're the best let's.
They have great songs comingout every day.
Yeah, so they're the best.
Speaker 1 (06:06):
Um let's dive into your music.
So, uh, you just put out, uh,your album in may.
Uh, you got to play some ofthose uh songs the week that it
came out.
Uh, both here and the bluebird,yep.
So you know what was that likeputting that project together.
(06:26):
You're new in the industry, sofor everybody out there
listening just kind of give alittle bit of background of like
everything that's behind thescenes that happens when it's
like you know, the listener justgets this music.
You know 100,000 songs that arereleased on a daily basis, you
know, on DSPs.
Many of them don't know all thework that goes into it, so talk
(06:48):
about that a little bit.
Speaker 2 (06:56):
Yeah, I've been saying ever since it came out
that I've put out a good amountof music in the last few years,
but this felt like my real debutjust in town, yep, and it was
the first time I got to do itwith a team around me, which was
awesome and I'm really proud ofit.
But a lot went into it.
I made probably a 30 pagerelease plan going into it and
just it's the first time I'veever been able to put everything
(07:18):
I had into the strategy and therelease and that whole thing
how many songs did you have topick from?
probably 8 to 12, but these sixwere kind of we knew we were
going to do this projectbasically since I got over at
seagull, yeah, until we werekind of writing forward and I
(07:40):
had some in already that werewrote, so it wasn't too hard
to pick this time.
Speaker 1 (07:46):
Yeah Well, I'm excited to dive into those songs
, but before we get there, talkabout what touring is like,
especially after not putting aband together a day before a
show.
How did you put your bandtogether?
You've toured and opened up forsome great people, so talk
(08:06):
about that a little bit.
Speaker 2 (08:07):
It's a whole lot of fun.
It can get on top of you if youlet it.
I will say so.
You just got to be careful outthere and remind yourself that
so many people would kill to bedoing what you're doing when you
start getting tired, but I loveit to be doing what you're
doing when you start gettingtired, but I love it.
It's one of my favorite partsof the process.
(08:27):
And just shaking hands afterthe show and I think when people
sing your song back to you isprobably the greatest feeling in
this business, so that'sawesome.
And then just meeting peopleand having them tell you like,
hey, this helped me through this.
We listen Now we have a memoryof us doing this to this song
(08:49):
and it's the coolest thing.
Speaker 1 (08:52):
Yeah, and you've got a band name.
So how'd that come about?
Speaker 2 (08:56):
That was.
We were playing Old Red inTishomingo, Oklahoma three years
ago I think, and my brother'sin my band and I had a song it's
a terrible song called NeonStranger and they had like a
radio DJ host that nightintroducing us and he's like
(09:19):
Brayden Jameson and is there aband name?
And my brother just likejokingly said the Neon Strangers
.
And I didn't know he was jokingand I was like that's pretty
cool, jameson and is there aband name?
And my brother just likejokingly said the neon strangers
.
And I didn't know he was jokingand I was like that's pretty
cool, but we're like walking onstage after they said he's like
dude, I was joking, you know, Iwas like too late.
Speaker 1 (09:33):
Now we're rolling with it.
So we just stuck with it.
Man, that's hilarious.
Um, all right, let's uh, let'sdive into some songs, man, um,
do you have a favorite song offthe EP?
Speaker 2 (09:49):
That's a tough question.
Probably Caddy Wampus.
Speaker 1 (09:55):
Okay Sonically for sure, dude, it's like it's so
good that swampy like justgroove to it is so cool.
Speaker 2 (10:03):
It came out exactly how I wanted it and we did a
demo.
Lee star and I did um when wewrote it and I was like I'm
gonna pretty much copy this andwe changed a couple of things,
um, but sonically for sure,caddy wampus even it kind of
holds a special place in myheart too, because I pitched
that all around town.
Nobody wanted to write a songcalled caddy wampus until lee
(10:26):
star, and I feel like we did ityeah so take me into the room
that day.
Well, I think we were kind ofstruggling to get a hook to
write and I was like dude, I'vebeen pitching this around,
nobody wants to take it.
If you don't take it, I'mprobably never going to ride it,
never pitch it again.
I was like, what do you thinkabout caddy wampus?
(10:48):
And he's like dude, I love that.
And then we just startedkicking around what it could be
like diamond rio, beautiful mess, kind of wacky, like I'm doing
this because I'm all confusedand stuff, and came out pretty
good, I think, and we justlaughed for like three hours
that day.
We were just cracking up.
Speaker 1 (11:06):
So did you just have the hook or did you have the
idea of like where?
Speaker 2 (11:09):
that's where you wanted that idea to go,
Literally just the wordcattywampus and I thought it was
going to be a heartbreak thing.
And he's like what, if it waslike a love song, I'd be like
that'd be sick.
Yeah, Was it a Lee?
(11:29):
And I especially have thetendency to like mess around and
say dumb stuff while we'rewriting, and when you're writing
a song called Caddy Wampusespecially.
So we probably could havewritten it in two hours, but it
took a little bit longer thatday, yeah man, what, what is
your?
Speaker 1 (11:45):
what's your natural process?
Are you more of the hook ideaguy or music?
Speaker 2 (11:55):
hook, idea guy or um music.
I would say idea to start theday, typically, just because I'm
an artist and people kind oflook to me for that um.
But I'm also like I co-producedthis ep and so I love the, the
musical aspect of it too andeverything like that, with the
stops and changes, and I love itall yeah, um, all right, let's
(12:20):
let's dive into, uh, when, thewhen the song mentor and uh
critiquer becomes the songwriter.
Speaker 1 (12:30):
Um, let's talk about, uh, the song you wrote with
chris, yeah so chris is on threeof them.
Speaker 2 (12:39):
Three of them, yep, um, which I believe is the first
time we wrote together, whichis intimidating, super
intimidating.
Yeah, because at this point allhe had done is yeah, because at
this point all he had done ishelp me make my songs less bad.
So I had a song.
The first one we wrote wassuits me, just fine, and it was
(13:00):
with cam newbie and chris cam'salso great man cam is
nashville's best kept secret andhe's about to not be a secret
anymore.
So, um, we took suits me, justfine, which is a song we've been
playing for two years probably.
So we had the idea obviouslycoming in and the structure and
all of that, and we just kind ofbuttoned it up a little bit.
(13:23):
And then we did Making it Up asI Go, which Jack Brasfield is
on, and Cam and Chris, and thenCriminal Record.
That probably took the mostdigging.
That took a few days because Ialso had already written that
one and we kind of had to shiftgears a little bit, but we got
it and I love it.
Speaker 1 (13:43):
Yeah, I love suits me just fine.
You know the it.
It really brought back likepersonal memories for me.
You know, talking about yourfriends that are bankers, making
bank and getting dressed up andall that.
And when I'm like, mybackground before I started the
listening room was in finance,ok, and I literally moved to
(14:05):
Nashville in 2003 to pursue anartist career first and then
shifted over into songwriting,but I was a banker during the
day to pay the bills and man, Ijust like you know, playing Fort
Worth one night and back inTennessee the next, and, like
you know, just so many memoriesof like, yeah, dude, I relate,
(14:28):
like you're not making enoughmoney to even pay for gas, but
it's like you're doing it,that's awesome.
So, like, take me into the theroom, let's talk about that one
a little bit.
Did, uh, did you come up withthat idea?
So it's been just fine.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
So, um, yeah, just how did howdid that right go that day?
It?
Speaker 2 (14:47):
was.
It was, um, different for me,for sure, because I had already
written the song in its entirety.
Um, and it's always a littlebit weird cause you get married
a little bit to what you've done, especially cause we had been
playing it out for two years andpeople are like when is that
coming out?
And then you change it and yousend it to the people that have
(15:07):
heard it and they're like, wait,what?
But it was fun, man, it was.
Those are always fun.
We ride them at night, usuallyafter the day on those rewrites,
and it was just cool to seelike it was almost symbolic,
like something I had beentouring around with for a couple
of years, bringing it toNashville, and it just got
(15:30):
elevated with these riders and Iknew it was going to be for the
better a lot of true stories inthere yes, yeah, yep.
Speaker 1 (15:39):
What's some of the favorite memories on the road
that helped craft that song?
Speaker 2 (15:43):
I think.
So I wrote that song actually.
Um, we played mercury lounge intulsa a couple years ago and I
drove which we have a directflight now, which is pretty sick
, but I used to just drive itevery time, um, and we didn't
make any money, like literallyno money.
I think we got free drinks andI'm on I-40 east and the line
(16:12):
used to be tonight we're out inFort Worth, come tomorrow we're
going to be at the Mercury,which is now changed, obviously,
but that's kind of the whole.
Where the whole song startedwas what am I doing out here,
like I'm so broke?
I was in college at that timejust playing country music man.
Speaker 1 (16:32):
Yeah, for the love of it.
Well, I love the song and uh,like I said earlier, man, your,
your, uh, your voice is just,you know, I can hear the the old
country influences.
Um, you know, some of the runsthat you do vocally are just
really really good.
And uh, thank you, and I'mexcited to see what happens.
You want to play a little bitof that one for us?
Speaker 3 (16:50):
Yeah, here we go.
Gas ain't getting cheaper butwe still still gotta get from A
(17:17):
to B.
Tonight we're out in Fort Worth.
Come tomorrow be back inTennessee.
I got buddies that are bankersmaking bank Wearing wingtips,
shoes and ties.
That's all right.
Honky-tonk suits me just fine.
(17:38):
We're just hippies.
We're just cowboys Up theremaking loud noise, playing songs
that people wanna hear.
Ain't nobody getting rich?
Sometimes we play for tips, butmost of the time we just play
for big To hell with high risesand suits.
(18:02):

Some casino stuff in November,I think, and then the corporate
stuff, which is where it'sreally at.
Speaker 1 (21:02):
Yeah, yeah, that's.
That's good money there.
Um, let's dive into one moresong.
Um, when it comes to you, youwrote that, uh, with my buddy,
mark Irwin, and uh, uh and uh.
Another another great song Iloved off the ep.
Uh, take me into the storybehind that one yeah, that was.
Speaker 2 (21:21):
So.
I was in college, um, fixing togo home for the summer and I
knew I was about to cut in tulsaand, uh, I needed a love song
for the project.
It was the last one that I knewdid not have a song in that
slot, and so I was runningaround town that week like, hey,
(21:43):
I've got to get a love songbefore I go home.
And I wrote one with SJMcDonald and Kenny Whitmire and
I was like this is it.
And then I had to double.
That day went straight from thatright, was 30 minutes late
because we were wrapping it up,and wrote another love song,
which I'm probably going to putout beginning of next year, with
(22:06):
Mark Irwin and Lee Star, and Iwas like, all right, we beat the
last one, this is it.
And then the following day,davis loose, mark erwin and I
wrote when it comes to you, andthat was the one.
So three writes in a row, twodays, thought I had it every
time.
Yeah, so I'm glad there wasn'ta fourth day or a third day I
guess, but um, so did you comeup with that idea too?
Speaker 1 (22:29):
I did, yeah, and what was the what's the backstory on
these songs?
Speaker 2 (22:36):
That one's heavily inspired by my girlfriend.
Okay, but originally I think itwas actually Davis's idea.
It was when it comes to me,which, now that I'm saying that
out loud after knowing the other, I'm like oh, I can't believe I
even did that.
(22:56):
And we tried to write it and itdidn't really work out.
And then I went home andrewrote the second verse and
sent it, and Davis fought backfor the better on the course.
So, yeah, it ended up beinggood.
Speaker 1 (23:09):
Davis is another one of those guys that, uh, he, he's
become a good friend too, and Imet him in St Augustine at the
festival years and years ago.
We always have two localsongwriters from the Florida
area that open the show up, andthe first year that Davis was
(23:33):
there, you know we hit it off.
He was just really cool and Ithought he was super talented,
especially for his age.
And you know I was like dude,you need to move to Nashville.
And he's like yeah, yeah, yeah,you know that's the plan.
And then a full year goes byand we go back the following
(23:53):
year to the festival and heplayed it again.
So I gave him a hard time and Iwas like man, it's been a year,
like, what are you doing?
And uh, and he was like man, ifyou give me a job, I'll come.
And I was like done.
So he, uh, he packed up and andmoved here and worked here at
the listening room for a while.
Um, man, he's just uh likesuper talented.
(24:15):
And um, we've never writtentogether, but I've heard that
from many writers that, like,when he pushes back, he's, he's
pretty brilliant when it comesto that stuff so yeah, if you
don't love davis loose, there'ssomething wrong, that's right
yeah, you can't walk into a roomwithout just feeling his
presence when he's aroundexactly, and if you do.
He's gonna make sure you, you dofeel it's exactly right, um,
(24:37):
talk to me a little bit moreabout uh when it comes to you,
and then let's play a little bitof that one yeah, I mean it's
uh, it's one of my favoriteslyrically.
Speaker 2 (24:46):
It may be, it may be the best song lyrically in my
opinion on the ep um, it's justpretty airtight, um, and it was
kind of out of my wheelhouse alittle bit.
I never wrote a lot of lovesongs leading up to that point,
um, but I was super proud whenwe left that day and I knew I
(25:10):
wasn't just throwing it on tothrow it on, because I had just
written two other songs that Iwas really proud of to put on,
yeah, and so it was kind of like, okay, well, I know this one is
at least the best of these andnow it's one of my favorites.
Yeah, you want to play a little?
Speaker 1 (25:25):
bit.
Speaker 2 (25:25):
Yep.
Speaker 3 (25:41):
I've never been too good at knowing what to say.
I've been known to let mythoughts get in the way, but I
(26:01):
ain't holding back.
This time I'm just sayingwhat's on my mind.
When it comes to you, the wordsjust fall like rain from the
sky, no thinking at all.
I need for you to know I loveyou and letting it show.
(26:30):
It comes so naturally when itcomes to you.
It just comes to me.
Speaker 1 (26:52):
Man, another great song, dude, and I love the
chords that you hit there andjust melodically.
Your voice is so dang good man,Thank you.
Yeah, man, what kind of advicewould you give new writers?
You know, I mean, it happensstill fairly fast for you in
town.
You know, compared to like,what the average is.
(27:13):
Everybody says it's, you know,like a 10-year town and
sometimes I see that turn intomore like 12, 15 years.
Um, like, what do you think wasthe the magic potion for you to
like find seagale and do allthese things so quickly?
Speaker 2 (27:29):
well, I don't have everything figured out by any
means, but I would say the bestadvice I ever got was actually
from my dad and he said keepyour mind open and your mouth
shut.
And I learned through myinternship especially was just
like a semester long clinic ofthis is how we really do it as
(27:54):
professionals here and this ishow I hadn't co-written a ton at
that point either.
So start doing that as early asyou can to just get the feel of
how to command a room and sitback.
If you need to sit back and letsomebody else take the reins.
But that's what I'd say, andjust be good to people.
Speaker 1 (28:15):
Yeah, love that man.
I always end on this question,so we'll, if you could, go back
to eight-year-old you now, whatyou're doing, and still so much
more to come.
Man, what kind of advice wouldyou give yourself today?
Advice would you give yourselftoday?
What a question.
Speaker 2 (28:34):
Honestly, just don't quit.
Speaker 1 (28:43):
If it doesn't happen, it doesn't happen, but it's not
going to be because you quit.
Speaker 2 (28:49):
Keep playing for those tips and beer.
That's right.
The only way it for suredoesn't happen is if you stop
doing it.
Speaker 1 (28:52):
Yeah, so Great advice .
Well, dude, thanks so much forcoming in.

forward to jamming with you inSt Augustine this year and
