🎙️ NEW EPISODE TONIGHT — BACKSTORY SESSIONS Tonight on Backstory Sessions: Conversations with Creatives, we sit down with Marlon Hargis of Exile for a look back at more than six decades of music, memories, and staying power. Marlon takes us back to his own musical beginnings, how he became part of Exile, and what those early years were like before the band’s breakthrough. We talk about the song that changed everything — “Kiss You All Over” — Exile’s transition into country music, the hits that followed, and what has allowed the band to remain together and continue creating for so many years. We also bring the story back home to Kentucky, including Exile’s recent recognition by Governor Andy Beshear, and talk about what that honor means after a career rooted so deeply in the Commonwealth. And Exile is far from finished. Marlon gives us a look at the band’s new album, Look Out, Heart, arriving October 23, and shares what longtime fans can expect from this next chapter. There’s history, reflection, plenty of laughs, and even a few “Which Exile member is most likely to…” questions along the way. 🎧 Listen tonight to Backstory Sessions: Conversations with Creatives. #BackstorySessions #MarlonHargis #Exile #KissYouAllOver #LookOutHeart #KentuckyMusic #CountryMusic #ClassicCountry #MusicHistory #GovernorBeshear #KentuckyProud #BehindTheMusic #ConversationsWithCreatives #NewEpisode
