In this episode of the Like A Farmer Podcast, we sit down with rising country star Timmy McKeever for a raw, real, and at times surprising conversation. Timmy opens up about leaving his California high school early to chase his Nashville dreams, playing shows at just 10 years old with a Costco guitar, and how he went from ice hockey and concussions to volleyball championships. He gives us his "I Made It" moment and gives us the band that gets him hyped before every show (spoiler: it’s not who you’d expect). Timmy also shares his thoughts on songwriting in the age of AI, the coolest venues he’s played, and how he uses music as a vehicle to help others. Plus, why signing with Big Loud is a game-changer, how he builds his set list, favorite covers, and what he thinks about the new wave of country music.
