On this episode of Like A Farmer, we sit down for a conversation with social media sensation and rising country star Cooper Alan. From starting a band in 8th grade to building a fanbase with Colt 45 and making the move to Nashville, Cooper shares how he went from Winston-Salem dreamer to touring artist. We have some surprises for him in our “What’s in the Cooler” segment presented by Outlaw Light. We also talk crowd sizes, music mentors, and what it means to use your platform for good. Plus: UNC Football, Bill Belichick, temper tantrums, his “I made it” moment, and what’s in store with his debut album Winston-Salem. This one’s packed like a tailgate cooler on a Saturday night. Don’t miss it!
