They Call Nashville a Ten Year Town | Jerry Flowers Knows Why

Jerry Flowers has done it all in Nashville — and he's got the stories to prove it. From moving here in 1993 and almost immediately jumping on a plane to Australia with a then-unknown Keith Urban, to spending five years on the road with the Dixie Chicks, to co-writing two number ones in the same year with Sam Hunt, Jerry's career reads like the ultimate Nashville survival guide.In this episode, we talk about what it really takes to stick it out in a town where everyone can play guitar, why it took Jerry a full ten years after signing his first publishing deal to land his first hit, and what happened when he finally walked into a room with a young, pre-fame Sam Hunt. We also dig into what it felt like when his 25-year run with Keith Urban came to a sudden end — and how Jerry is navigating what comes next with grace, honesty, and a whole lot of songwriter shows.Plus: Taylor Swift learning by watching from the side of the stage, the magic of a good songwriter night, why CDs are making a comeback, Jerry's first Hinge date (tonight, actually), and we close it out with a live performance of his hit "Chasing After You" — with a little help from yours truly.If you've ever wondered what it really looks like to build a career in this town — not the highlight reel, the whole messy beautiful thing — this one's for you.Don't forget: new episodes drop every Tuesday with bonus episodes on Thursdays!
