JOHN KING- TALENTED COUNTRY MUSIC ARTISTS

A quote from Apple Music best describes my next podcast guest "Playing modern country music with an undercurrent of rock and roll energy and a commitment to entertaining the crowd"   His talent and business savvy has really propelled him as a singer songwriter in Nashville.  He's written a number one hit for Randy Houser, co-written songs for Hootie and the Blowfish and others, and has several smash hits of his own - including the current hit. "Try Saying Goodbye",received an ASCAP Songwriting Award (no small accomplishment) and his song "Tonite Tonite" was the theme for NBC's Thurs Nite Football!     I had the privilege of meeting him back in the days during my co-hosting duties on the SEAN AND RICHIE SHOW on WGNA radio here in Albany NY .  He let me accompany him on piano live on the air, and it's one of my best memories.   I was very lucky to snag him for this podcast during the downtime he's experiencing along with the rest of us.      What keeps him busy?  What was it like playing in those bars in Nashville waiting to be discovered?  Who threw $100 in his tip cup one nite not knowing that it was a big country star who did it?  How did he end up being represented by Reba's management company?   These and more cool stories on this episode of TOP TALENT.     His website is www.johnkingcountry.com.  His music is available on all streaming platforms and through his website .  He's also on Facebook and Instagram at John King         Want to be part of a FACEBOOK LIVE PIANO BAR?
