Chad sits down with John Rich, this month’s DemerBox Artist of the Month, for a deep conversation about the music business, creative freedom, and the fine line between success and significance. John talks about the birth of the Music Mafia, the rise of Big & Rich and Gretchen Wilson, and how Nashville’s sound and politics have shifted over the years. He talks about staying authentic, honoring the flag, and writing songs that mean something, even when they ruffle feathers.
We love how John Rich is unapologetically himself. He's outspoken, sharp, funny, and fearless.
If you believe real country music still needs a backbone, this one’s for you.

E505 - The Heartbeat of Real Country - Brent Cobb and The Fixin's - DEMERBOX Artist of The Month
Brent Cobb isn’t just one of the best songwriters alive; he’s one of the most genuine people you’ll ever meet. In Part 1 of this two-part sit-down, Chad hangs out with Brent and his bandmates, Matt and Wade, better known as The Fixin’s, for a conversation that feels less like an interview and more like a night on the bus after a show.
They talk about the magic of playing music with your best friends, why Brent trusts his band so deeply, and why the best nights on stage are the ones that feel like a front-porch jam. There are plenty of laughs, some wild road stories, and even a phone call to Hayes Carll that takes a hilarious, unexpected turn.
This is the kind of episode that reminds you why country music hits so hard when it’s honest. If you want a glimpse of what makes Brent Cobb and The Fixin’s so special, this is it.
