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!

The Brothers Ortiz
The Brothers Ortiz is the story of two brothers–both successful, but in very different ways. Gabe Ortiz becomes a third-highest ranking officer in all of Texas while his younger brother Larry climbs the ranks in Puro Tango Blast, a notorious Texas Prison gang. Gabe doesn’t know all the details of his brother’s nefarious dealings, and he’s made a point not to ask, to protect their relationship. But when Larry is murdered during a home invasion in a rented beach house, Gabe has no choice but to look into what happened that night. To solve Larry’s murder, Gabe, and the whole Ortiz family, must ask each other tough questions.
