My name is Adam Sanders.
I'm 36 years old
179
00:07:29,783 --> 00:07:32,486
and I live in
Nashville, Tennessee.
180
00:07:32,620 --> 00:07:34,338
I started singing
and playing music, honestly,
181
00:07:34,421 --> 00:07:37,190
from the day I was born,
I feel like.
182
00:07:37,290 --> 00:07:40,711
My mom jokes that I could sing
before I could talk.
183
00:07:42,630 --> 00:07:44,565
All my family's
musically inclined.
184
00:07:44,665 --> 00:07:46,316
I've actually got an uncle
that's a session musician
185
00:07:46,399 --> 00:07:47,935
in Nashville.
186
00:07:48,034 --> 00:07:49,537
So, when I was
about 12 years old,
187
00:07:49,637 --> 00:07:51,438
he said, "You should
look into writing songs.
188
00:07:51,539 --> 00:07:54,041
That could be your way into
the music industry one day."
189
00:07:55,142 --> 00:07:56,510
Yes, sir.
190
00:07:58,946 --> 00:08:00,881
We might as well
quit right now, huh?
191
00:08:04,785 --> 00:08:07,187
The biggest challenge
in my career
192
00:08:07,320 --> 00:08:08,906
has been, I feel like
I got labeled
193
00:08:08,989 --> 00:08:11,759
very quickly
as just a songwriter.
194
00:08:11,859 --> 00:08:14,762
All right, everyone,
here comes Adam Sanders!
195
00:08:14,862 --> 00:08:16,380
I've spent ten years
196
00:08:16,463 --> 00:08:17,915
touring professionally
out on the road
197
00:08:17,998 --> 00:08:20,868
and opening for the biggest acts
in our format.
198
00:08:20,968 --> 00:08:23,120
And it feels like,
199
00:08:23,203 --> 00:08:24,723
"You're good enough
to be on the field,
200
00:08:24,838 --> 00:08:26,390
but you just haven't had
your shot yet."
201
00:08:26,473 --> 00:08:30,177
Tannahill's, how we feeling
on a Sunday night?
202
00:08:32,679 --> 00:08:34,047
Yeah, that's what it takes.
203
00:08:34,147 --> 00:08:35,566
In a club full of people,
and they're talking
204
00:08:35,649 --> 00:08:37,551
and they're drinking,
if you don't come out
205
00:08:37,684 --> 00:08:38,769
and grab them...
206
00:08:38,852 --> 00:08:40,471
-Yeah.
-...you've lost the audience
207
00:08:40,554 --> 00:08:42,422
before you even
played your first note.
208
00:08:42,522 --> 00:08:44,308

-Yeah.

"I'm gonna be a country singer."

I fell in love and I haven't
been able to move to Nashville
324
00:13:32,712 --> 00:13:36,816
because I have my two boys
from my first marriage.
325
00:13:36,917 --> 00:13:39,853
The parenting plan
very specifically states,
326

00:14:35,375 --> 00:14:39,179
because the songs that I write
are just very personal
351
00:14:39,279 --> 00:14:41,081
but also,
there are so many others
352
00:14:41,214 --> 00:14:43,250

421
00:17:59,979 --> 00:18:01,814
A one-stoplight town.
422
00:18:01,914 --> 00:18:03,367
It's a place where
there's more churches
423
00:18:03,450 --> 00:18:05,118
than there are, uh,
anything else,
424
00:18:05,218 --> 00:18:07,354
and we run a lot of cattle
up in that area,
425
00:18:07,454 --> 00:18:09,256
and-and a lot of cowboys
and rednecks
426
00:18:09,389 --> 00:18:13,393

enjoy living life.
427
00:18:15,195 --> 00:18:17,181
I was actually born
in Seoul, South Korea.
428
00:18:17,264 --> 00:18:19,049
Um, I was adopted
at 13 months old
429
00:18:19,132 --> 00:18:21,768
and was raised
on a 340-acre farm.
430
00:18:21,868 --> 00:18:23,653
I'm still out there.
I, you know, I've moved around
431
00:18:23,736 --> 00:18:26,022
quite a bit ever since
I graduated, but, uh,
432
00:18:26,105 --> 00:18:27,440

Growing up,
Mom and Dad's philosophy
435
00:18:32,245 --> 00:18:34,398
was to stay as busy
as humanly possible
436
00:18:34,481 --> 00:18:36,283
and maybe you'll stay
out of trouble.
437
00:18:36,383 --> 00:18:38,535
You know, my parents
did the best they could, but...
438
00:18:38,618 --> 00:18:40,270
I went to the Naval Academy
when I graduated
439
00:18:40,353 --> 00:18:41,988
and my shoulder
started falling apart,
440
00:18:42,088 --> 00:18:43,956
and when I got sent back home,
441
00:18:44,090 --> 00:18:45,658
I hated it 'cause,
you know, you're 18
442
00:18:45,758 --> 00:18:48,127
looking at this bright future
and then,
443
00:18:48,228 --> 00:18:50,430
you know, as a 19-year-old,
I'm looking back going,
444
00:18:50,530 --> 00:18:51,964
"Damn, what happened?"
445
00:18:54,367 --> 00:18:56,269
Growing up out here in Oklahoma,
446
00:18:56,369 --> 00:18:58,471
we don't really talk about
prescription pills
447
00:18:58,605 --> 00:19:00,039
or anything like that.
448
00:19:01,408 --> 00:19:04,411
So, I got prescribed them
and actually got hooked on them
449
00:19:04,511 --> 00:19:08,147
and I battled that
for a little over two years.
450
00:19:08,248 --> 00:19:11,484
As far as obstacles
to get to where I'm at,
451
00:19:11,618 --> 00:19:14,321
I've faced as many
as just about everybody else.
452
00:19:14,454 --> 00:19:16,989
But country music,
the way I fell in love with it
453
00:19:17,089 --> 00:19:19,176
is because it's about
the hardships or the good times,
454
00:19:19,259 --> 00:19:21,745
and when you're able
to live it every single day,
455
00:19:21,828 --> 00:19:23,747
that just gives you more ammo
to write about.
456
00:19:27,434 --> 00:19:30,537
As far as like, getting on stage
and being out there,
457
00:19:30,637 --> 00:19:33,240
I mean, I live for a live show.
458
00:19:33,340 --> 00:19:35,275
It makes me appreciate,
you know, the hours
459
00:19:35,375 --> 00:19:39,712
spent practicing or writing
or being on the road,
460
00:19:39,846 --> 00:19:41,381
being away from family and...
461
00:19:41,481 --> 00:19:42,882

everybody's gonna
be amazing, but...
522
00:22:23,275 --> 00:22:25,378
You know,
actually hearing them live,
523
00:22:25,478 --> 00:22:28,748
I'm back here thinking,
"I have to follow this?"
524
00:22:28,848 --> 00:22:30,967
-All right. Love you guys.
-You can do this.
525
00:22:31,050 --> 00:22:32,719
I love you guys.
526
00:22:40,793 --> 00:22:42,073
You look really good.
527
00:22:42,161 --> 00:22:43,295
Always got to have sparkles
528
00:22:43,396 --> 00:22:44,781
and fringe everywhere.
529
00:22:44,864 --> 00:22:46,115
I have big fat feet.
530
00:22:46,198 --> 00:22:47,400
I can't wear shoes like that.
531
00:22:47,534 --> 00:22:48,952
-Can't have it all, you know?
-I know.
532
00:22:49,035 --> 00:22:52,371
Ugly feet, great career.
I'll... I'd take it.
533
00:22:52,472 --> 00:22:55,207
My name is Jenny Tolman,
I'm 29 years old
534
00:22:55,307 --> 00:22:57,994
and I was born and raised
in Nashville, Tennessee.
535
00:22:58,077 --> 00:23:00,997
I put my first album out
in 2019,
536
00:23:01,080 --> 00:23:02,915
and ever since then,
537
00:23:03,015 --> 00:23:05,151
been grinding it out
on the road.
538
00:23:05,251 --> 00:23:07,153

541

Yeah!
542
00:23:14,060 --> 00:23:15,962
I have a two-year-old son.
543
00:23:16,062 --> 00:23:17,497
His name is Bear.
544
00:23:17,597 --> 00:23:19,065
You're so good, buddy.
545
00:23:19,165 --> 00:23:20,484
My husband is so supportive.
546
00:23:20,567 --> 00:23:23,169
I've gotten to take
my family with me
547
00:23:23,269 --> 00:23:24,937
everywhere I've gone
on the road,
548
00:23:25,037 --> 00:23:28,508
which is such a unique
and fun way to raise my son.
549
00:23:28,608 --> 00:23:30,477
It's okay, buddy.
550
00:23:30,577 --> 00:23:32,228
Mama's gonna go sing
551
00:23:32,311 --> 00:23:35,281
and play some fun shows.
552
00:23:35,381 --> 00:23:37,283
But this is
my first time going on tour
553
00:23:37,383 --> 00:23:40,352
without him, so it's going
to be the hardest thing
554
00:23:40,453 --> 00:23:42,154
I have ever done.
555
00:23:42,288 --> 00:23:44,524
It's okay.
556
00:23:45,291 --> 00:23:46,976
It's hard
because I'm still pumping,
557
00:23:47,059 --> 00:23:49,629
so every few hours,
I'm definitely thinking
558
00:23:49,729 --> 00:23:51,831
about him very intently.
559
00:23:51,931 --> 00:23:54,601
Oh, my gosh, hopefully,
you can hear me over my pumps.
560
00:23:54,701 --> 00:23:57,570
This was the craziest day
of my life.
561
00:23:57,670 --> 00:24:01,574
Like, Keith Urban,
Blake Shelton, Gretchen Wilson.
562
00:24:02,374 --> 00:24:04,944
I'm so excited.
I'm so, so happy.
563
00:24:05,044 --> 00:24:07,346
Guys, this is Jenny Tolman.
564
00:24:09,315 --> 00:24:11,751
I love making
people laugh with my songs.
565
00:24:11,851 --> 00:24:13,820
Um, I think if you can
make people laugh,
566
00:24:13,953 --> 00:24:16,489
you can make them comfortable,
and then they're open to hearing
567
00:24:16,589 --> 00:24:18,691
the message that's in the song.

It always is a crowd pleaser,
572
00:24:32,138 --> 00:24:33,757
and it is a very true story
573
00:24:33,840 --> 00:24:36,543

to make it work.
579
00:24:51,057 --> 00:24:53,209
Touring, getting out on the road
o-out of, out of Nashville,
580
00:24:53,292 --> 00:24:55,612
where it's a super
competitive town,
581
00:24:55,695 --> 00:24:57,196

Sometimes I wish,
587
00:25:09,676 --> 00:25:11,477
when they're up there singing
and they're not
588
00:25:11,578 --> 00:25:13,580
really playing, it's just
something to hang onto.
589
00:25:13,713 --> 00:25:15,832
But they just sling it around,
like, take the mic
590
00:25:15,915 --> 00:25:18,050
and go up and, like,
work the audience a bit more.
591
00:25:18,184 --> 00:25:20,820
Just do something different.
Change it up.
592
00:25:20,920 --> 00:25:23,055
-100%.
-Thank you guys so much.
593
00:25:23,189 --> 00:25:26,092
My name's Jenny Tolman.
Enjoy the rest of your night.
594
00:25:27,026 --> 00:25:29,662
She's fun, but we've
heard some really good singers
595
00:25:29,762 --> 00:25:31,397
so far.
Vocally, she is definitely gonna
596
00:25:31,497 --> 00:25:32,849
have to step it up.
597
00:25:32,932 --> 00:25:34,918
It was smart to come
out here and sing a song
598
00:25:35,001 --> 00:25:37,336
and be able to name-drop Texas,
599
00:25:37,436 --> 00:25:39,972
drop in Fort Worth,
talk about cowboys.
600
00:25:40,072 --> 00:25:42,325
I'm actually gonna tell
everybody I was born in Texas.
601
00:25:42,408 --> 00:25:43,576
Right.
602
00:25:43,676 --> 00:25:45,328
T-minus five.
603
00:25:45,411 --> 00:25:47,497
If you ain't ready now, I don't
know what to tell you, buddy.
604
00:25:47,580 --> 00:25:49,548
Well, it's what we came
to do anyway, so...
605
00:25:49,649 --> 00:25:51,651
And Forrest,
take one, A/B Common Mark,
606
00:25:51,751 --> 00:25:53,886
-soft sticks.
-Are we on with... oh.
607
00:25:54,654 --> 00:25:56,172
My name's Forrest McCurren,
608
00:25:56,255 --> 00:25:58,591
and I've been writing songs
for ten years.
609
00:25:58,691 --> 00:26:00,827
♪ Gentle, playful music ♪
610
00:26:00,927 --> 00:26:02,746
People would ask me what
I wanted to be when I grow up,
611
00:26:02,829 --> 00:26:04,597
and I would say,
"I want to be outside.
612
00:26:04,697 --> 00:26:06,398
I want to be a horse."
613
00:26:06,498 --> 00:26:08,134
But as soon
as I started realizing
614
00:26:08,234 --> 00:26:10,269
that there was people
who traveled around
615
00:26:10,369 --> 00:26:13,572
and played all types
of places...
616
00:26:14,373 --> 00:26:15,808

"I want to do that."

621
00:26:24,684 --> 00:26:25,985
I love Jon Prine.
622
00:26:26,085 --> 00:26:28,020
He's my number one musical hero.
623
00:26:28,120 --> 00:26:30,990
And in his writing,
he's just so great at...
624
00:26:31,123 --> 00:26:33,242

seem special.

on the show, being here in
Fort Worth, yeah, it feels good.
628
00:26:40,933 --> 00:26:42,735
It's a whole
hell of a lot better
629
00:26:42,835 --> 00:26:45,638
than putting out a newspaper ad
about a new album.
630
00:26:47,073 --> 00:26:49,308
One, two, three.
631
00:26:49,408 --> 00:26:50,743
Okay, great.
632
00:26:50,843 --> 00:26:52,745
-Hang tight.
-Can we do the "whoo" again?
633
00:26:52,845 --> 00:26:55,648
It's just a-a wild thing
to get to play songs
634
00:26:55,782 --> 00:26:58,851
in front of folks like
Keith Urban and Blake Shelton.
635
00:26:58,985 --> 00:27:00,269
But this opportunity is amazing
636
00:27:00,352 --> 00:27:03,272
because it's focusing
on songwriters.
637
00:27:03,355 --> 00:27:04,941
-Hey, gang. We made it.
-Come on.
638
00:27:05,024 --> 00:27:06,292
Let's go.
639
00:27:06,392 --> 00:27:09,095
Hey, what's up, brothers?
Look at us now.
640
00:27:11,097 --> 00:27:12,616
Forrest is
something else. I don't know
641
00:27:12,699 --> 00:27:14,967
that I've ever met anyone
quite like him.
642
00:27:15,067 --> 00:27:17,336
He just sort of
floats up onto the stage
643
00:27:17,436 --> 00:27:19,571
in his happy way
and tells his stories.
644
00:27:19,672 --> 00:27:21,708
-Are you a germaphobe?
-No.
645
00:27:21,841 --> 00:27:23,375
-I'm pro-germs.
-Okay, you got to get
646
00:27:23,475 --> 00:27:24,844
a little closer
to that microphone.
647
00:27:24,944 --> 00:27:26,963
-Okay.
-Your voice sounds thin
648
00:27:27,046 --> 00:27:28,464
because you're a little too
far away from the microphone.
649
00:27:28,547 --> 00:27:29,966
-Great.
-Just come in a little bit more.
650
00:27:30,049 --> 00:27:31,250
He's a really sweet guy.
651
00:27:31,350 --> 00:27:32,685
Um, I think that he's gonna
652
00:27:32,785 --> 00:27:34,386
win people over
just by being himself.
653
00:27:34,486 --> 00:27:37,023
You're a storyteller,
so it's really important
654
00:27:37,123 --> 00:27:39,391
that they hear the words
really clearly, okay?
655
00:27:39,491 --> 00:27:40,927
It means the world.
656
00:27:41,027 --> 00:27:42,779
Well, my name's
Forrest McCurren.
657
00:27:44,396 --> 00:27:47,150
It's good to be
in Fort Worth on Sunday,
658
00:27:47,233 --> 00:27:49,118
and it's a thrill
to be at Tannahill's,
659
00:27:49,201 --> 00:27:51,203
where the beer's
cold and delicious
660
00:27:51,337 --> 00:27:53,239
and the folks are warm
and kind and delicious
661
00:27:53,339 --> 00:27:54,791
in a different way.
662
00:27:54,874 --> 00:27:57,376
And where Keith Urban's gonna
be playing in just a bit.
663
00:27:57,509 --> 00:27:59,211
After he gives me
my guitar lesson,
664
00:27:59,311 --> 00:28:01,297
he'll come out
and play for you all.
665
00:28:02,982 --> 00:28:04,383
He's super likable.
666
00:28:04,483 --> 00:28:07,086
Forrest walked into the audition
667
00:28:07,219 --> 00:28:08,988
for us producers and...
668
00:28:09,088 --> 00:28:11,090
he had us all
wrapped around his finger
669
00:28:11,190 --> 00:28:12,624
in literally five minutes.
670
00:28:12,725 --> 00:28:14,226
I bought a case of beer,
but Nino said
671
00:28:14,326 --> 00:28:17,129
I couldn't bring it in.
672
00:28:17,897 --> 00:28:19,515
He's more of
a-a singer-songwriter,
673
00:28:19,598 --> 00:28:21,100
and I wonder
how that's gonna play
674
00:28:21,233 --> 00:28:22,652
in some of these rowdier bars
675
00:28:22,735 --> 00:28:25,504
and Keith Urban's crowds
he's gonna be singing to.
676
00:28:25,604 --> 00:28:27,573
I have no idea
how that's gonna work.

686
00:28:54,533 --> 00:28:56,803

"Small Prayers, Big Blessings,"
688
00:28:58,871 --> 00:29:02,074
which I wrote
New Year's Day 2024.
689
00:29:02,174 --> 00:29:04,476
It's a song about those moments
where you get past

bit under the weather today.

You know,

This is, like,
the only industry in the world
788
00:33:02,714 --> 00:33:04,283
that you're not allowed
to be sick.
789
00:33:04,383 --> 00:33:06,102

get to call in sick.

to the stage.
792
00:33:10,989 --> 00:33:13,425
So I gave her the best advice
I could, and that was to rest
793
00:33:13,525 --> 00:33:15,061
and to keep as quiet
as she could
794
00:33:15,194 --> 00:33:17,363

869
00:36:52,378 --> 00:36:54,413
Uh, to me, like,
her pitch is that solid.
870
00:36:54,546 --> 00:36:56,665
-Mm-hmm.
-You know what I mean? Like,
871
00:36:56,748 --> 00:36:58,867
she kind of has
that raspy voice.
872
00:36:58,950 --> 00:37:00,819
She just has such
control over it.
873
00:37:00,919 --> 00:37:02,438
Could you tell
I was, I was hurting, though?
874
00:37:02,521 --> 00:37:03,922
-Don't lie to me.
-Tone was great.
875
00:37:04,022 --> 00:37:05,541
-No, seriously, your tone was...
-'Cause it hurt.
876
00:37:05,624 --> 00:37:07,676
-Like, you have killer tone.
-It hurt me to sing.
877
00:37:07,759 --> 00:37:09,895
Well, you got through it.
That's all that matters.
878
00:37:11,963 --> 00:37:13,699
Four months ago, uh,
879
00:37:13,799 --> 00:37:15,150
if you would have told me
I was doing this,
880
00:37:15,233 --> 00:37:16,968
I would have laughed
in your face.

My name's Briana Adams.
882
00:37:19,871 --> 00:37:22,841
I'm from a super,
super small Texas town
883
00:37:22,941 --> 00:37:24,343
called Winchester.
884
00:37:24,443 --> 00:37:26,177
No one's ever heard of it,
I promise you.
885
00:37:28,280 --> 00:37:29,815
La Grange?
886
00:37:29,915 --> 00:37:31,234
About 16...
887
00:37:31,317 --> 00:37:35,354
In 2000, the population,
if you googled it, said 50.
888
00:37:37,756 --> 00:37:39,190
Beautiful. Gorgeous.
889
00:37:39,291 --> 00:37:41,126
Never thought little old Briana
890
00:37:41,226 --> 00:37:42,994
from Winchester, Texas
would ever be
891
00:37:43,128 --> 00:37:45,230
touring with the likes
of Keith Urban.
892
00:37:45,331 --> 00:37:47,232
What do I do with my hands?
Where do I put them?
893
00:37:47,333 --> 00:37:48,834
Change is scary,
but I'm here for it,
894
00:37:48,934 --> 00:37:51,387
like getting out
of my comfort zone.
895
00:37:51,470 --> 00:37:54,005
The small-town bar, you know,
896
00:37:54,105 --> 00:37:55,391
occasional festival
kind of thing
897
00:37:55,474 --> 00:37:57,226
is-is just where
I've stayed, and...
898
00:37:57,309 --> 00:38:01,230
I think it definitely shaped
my music influence, for sure.
899
00:38:01,313 --> 00:38:02,681
You've got such a cool
900
00:38:02,814 --> 00:38:04,783
Southern rock
stage presence about you.
901
00:38:04,883 --> 00:38:06,435
Like, the only thing
I would tell you is maybe just
902
00:38:06,518 --> 00:38:07,670
dig in on that foot
a little bit more,
903
00:38:07,753 --> 00:38:08,871
make it a little more angry,
904
00:38:08,954 --> 00:38:10,406
-you know?
-Okay.
905
00:38:12,458 --> 00:38:14,693
I think
that I'm meant to be here.
906
00:38:14,793 --> 00:38:17,128
You know, that scared
small-town girl, like,
907
00:38:17,228 --> 00:38:18,830
it's time to grow up,
like, let's do it.
908
00:38:18,930 --> 00:38:20,532
Kick it in the butt.
909
00:38:21,533 --> 00:38:22,785

910
00:38:22,868 --> 00:38:25,270

this my... Whew.
911
00:38:25,371 --> 00:38:27,739

I was gonna get emotional.
912
00:38:29,007 --> 00:38:30,542
Sorry.

00:38:32,744 --> 00:38:35,213

playing music since I was about
seven or eight years old.
1025
00:43:59,537 --> 00:44:01,406
My father, he used
to jam all the time
1026
00:44:01,506 --> 00:44:03,374
with his family,
and they'd give me
1027
00:44:03,474 --> 00:44:05,643
a little Walmart guitar.
I would just play
1028
00:44:05,744 --> 00:44:07,713
the rhythm, you know,
just strum the strings,
1029
00:44:07,846 --> 00:44:10,315
and that really
started my songwriting journey.
1030
00:44:11,449 --> 00:44:14,552

with me, watching me.
1035
00:44:23,695 --> 00:44:26,064
I think that he would
probably be in awe
1036
00:44:26,197 --> 00:44:28,867
of how far that I've made it.
1037
00:44:30,335 --> 00:44:32,070

I like singing about,
you know, our issues,
1044

'cause a lot of Natives,
you know,
1045

they don't have that voice.

I hope that this opportunity

further my career
1055

I'll be a lady about it.
1100
00:47:19,037 --> 00:47:21,206
I'm Olivia Harms. I'm 29.
I was born
1101
00:47:21,306 --> 00:47:23,341
and raised on a ranch
in Canby, Oregon.
1102
00:47:23,441 --> 00:47:24,675
Oh yeah, we got the bone.
1103
00:47:24,775 --> 00:47:26,377
We're ready to go.
Oh, here comes Sammy.
1104
00:47:26,477 --> 00:47:27,796
I started out by
1105
00:47:27,879 --> 00:47:29,514
moving to Nashville
right after college,
1106
00:47:29,614 --> 00:47:31,216
and then COVID happened
and that sent me
1107
00:47:31,316 --> 00:47:32,667
back home to the ranch.
1108
00:47:32,750 --> 00:47:35,253
I guess that
I am considered a cowgirl.
1109
00:47:35,386 --> 00:47:37,255
I get my hands dirty
1110
00:47:37,388 --> 00:47:38,673
and I do know how to castrate,
you know.
1111
00:47:41,092 --> 00:47:42,928
I knew
as soon as I could remember
1112
00:47:43,061 --> 00:47:44,679
that I wanted to play music.
1113
00:47:44,762 --> 00:47:46,564

is a musician.

1126
00:48:11,622 --> 00:48:14,676
compared to her all the time
because we are different.
1127
00:48:14,759 --> 00:48:17,846
I'm here to blaze my own trail
and have people know
1128
00:48:17,929 --> 00:48:19,664
who Olivia Harms is.

Okay, good advice.
1132
00:48:24,802 --> 00:48:26,737
Olivia seems
a little bit timid, but
1133
00:48:26,837 --> 00:48:28,439
I think she's got
a great personality,
1134
00:48:28,573 --> 00:48:29,524

1203
00:51:27,485 --> 00:51:28,736
I wish I had the muscles
you did.
1204
00:51:28,819 --> 00:51:30,038
Well, I wish I had
that jacket you did.
1205
00:51:30,121 --> 00:51:31,239
-The musk-cles.
-And I wish I had
1206
00:51:31,322 --> 00:51:32,790
that mustache you have.
1207
00:51:32,890 --> 00:51:34,476
My name is Jon Wood,
I am 28 years old
1208
00:51:34,559 --> 00:51:37,228
and I am from Wake Forest,
North Carolina.
1209
00:51:37,328 --> 00:51:39,029
I was born into music.
1210
00:51:39,130 --> 00:51:42,200
My dad raised us all
to do music, and it was, like,
1211
00:51:42,300 --> 00:51:44,219
something I thought
every family did.
1212
00:51:44,302 --> 00:51:46,754
I remember being 21 years old
and my dad telling me,
1213
00:51:46,837 --> 00:51:49,474
"Why don't you just go try it?
Why don't you go try Nashville?"
1214
00:51:49,607 --> 00:51:52,094
You know, here I am
seven years later,
1215
00:51:52,177 --> 00:51:54,011
and I think a lot
about the moments
1216
00:51:54,145 --> 00:51:55,946
where I thought
it would all fail.
1217
00:51:56,046 --> 00:51:58,316
But I mean, Keith Urban grew up
1218
00:51:58,416 --> 00:52:00,602
the same way I did,
with a dream,
1219
00:52:00,685 --> 00:52:02,820
starting his first band
and moving to Nashville
1220
00:52:02,920 --> 00:52:03,988
and grinding.
1221
00:52:04,088 --> 00:52:05,490
And it shows you that
1222
00:52:05,623 --> 00:52:07,303
-"I can do it, too."
-One, two...
1223
00:52:09,960 --> 00:52:12,463
I'm singing my song
"Too Country."
1224
00:52:12,563 --> 00:52:14,249
Talking about being
not sorry that I might be
1225
00:52:14,332 --> 00:52:16,100
a little redneck or, you know,
1226
00:52:16,201 --> 00:52:17,752
my truck might be
a little dirty.
1227
00:52:17,835 --> 00:52:20,137
I feel like that kind of
describes me in the best way.
1228
00:52:20,238 --> 00:52:21,606
Your song is fun.
1229
00:52:21,706 --> 00:52:22,890
-Yeah.
-You-You've got the whoos
1230
00:52:22,973 --> 00:52:24,175
and the yeehaws and all that,
1231
00:52:24,275 --> 00:52:25,760
and you've got the moves
and everything,
1232
00:52:25,843 --> 00:52:27,129
but flirt a little bit.
1233
00:52:27,212 --> 00:52:28,730
You're too,
you're too cute not to flirt.
1234
00:52:28,813 --> 00:52:30,715

The thing
that struck me about Jon Wood
1239
00:52:40,325 --> 00:52:43,194
is the very first time
we saw him in the audition.
1240
00:52:43,328 --> 00:52:45,896
Jon's voice is-is that
kind of country voice
1241
00:52:45,996 --> 00:52:49,667
that, uh, truly is like
a-a honky-tonk sound.
1242
00:52:49,767 --> 00:52:52,803

"You're not gonna wake up

and just be successful."
1249
00:53:08,353 --> 00:53:09,771

-I love his voice.
-I do, too. I do, too.
1259
00:53:33,778 --> 00:53:35,946
I would've done the song
a little bit higher.
1260
00:53:36,080 --> 00:53:37,465
-Oh, really? In a higher key?
-Do you ever mess around...

is in this lower part.
1263
00:53:40,918 --> 00:53:43,104
When he got up high, I was like,
"Oh, here we go. It's good."
1264
00:53:43,187 --> 00:53:46,324
When he opens up, he's got like,
just the right amount of like...

-Nasal. Yeah.
-Nasal, like Ronnie has.

-You know what I mean?
-Yes.
1267
00:53:49,694 --> 00:53:51,028
-Yeah, yeah.
-It's like, I was in.
1268
00:53:51,128 --> 00:53:52,380
That was incredible.
That was incredible.
1269
00:53:52,463 --> 00:53:53,798
Sounded great, dude.
1270
00:53:56,267 --> 00:53:57,519

1273
00:54:00,405 --> 00:54:02,640
Ladies and gentlemen,
Cassidy Daniels!
1274
00:54:05,610 --> 00:54:08,613
You have to be
a little bit insane to do this.
1275
00:54:08,713 --> 00:54:10,865
'Cause, you know, you have
to walk out on stage believing
1276
00:54:10,948 --> 00:54:13,351
that you're the best thing
since sliced bread
1277
00:54:13,451 --> 00:54:16,371
while simultaneously
knowing that you ain't.
1278
00:54:16,454 --> 00:54:18,456
I was born in a little
small town in Appalachia,
1279
00:54:18,589 --> 00:54:21,759
Marion, North Carolina,
and my mom married an Army man,
1280
00:54:21,859 --> 00:54:24,995
and that made us move 15 times.
1281
00:54:25,129 --> 00:54:27,532
Growing up an Army brat,
I've moved so much,
1282
00:54:27,632 --> 00:54:30,435
I'm really great at making
friends... I love people...
1283
00:54:30,535 --> 00:54:32,937
I can sleep anywhere, literally.
1284
00:54:33,037 --> 00:54:35,373
And that's kind of
the perfect recipe
1285
00:54:35,473 --> 00:54:37,091
of what you need
to be on the road.
1286
00:54:37,174 --> 00:54:41,263
Okay, I had to go check out
the venue we're playing.
1287
00:54:41,346 --> 00:54:42,680
It's The Road, man.
1288
00:54:42,780 --> 00:54:44,214
I've been living in Nashville
1289
00:54:44,315 --> 00:54:46,484
for about eight
and a half years.
1290
00:54:46,584 --> 00:54:48,169
Don't tell nobody, though.
It's a ten-year town.
1291
00:54:48,252 --> 00:54:50,204
That means if you come here
and you've not made it
1292
00:54:50,287 --> 00:54:52,156
in ten years,
you're probably not going to.
1293
00:54:52,289 --> 00:54:55,159
Especially as a female,
you've got a lot less time.
1294

This opportunity for someone
who's been trying to make it
1295
00:54:58,496 --> 00:55:01,399

is unlike anything else
1296
00:55:01,499 --> 00:55:03,401
that country music has to offer.
1297
00:55:03,501 --> 00:55:05,536
Where are my ladies at tonight?
1298
00:55:07,805 --> 00:55:11,593

I mean,
he's a bona fide rock star.

I feel like I got a grasp on
what I need to do going forward.
1400
00:59:59,764 --> 01:00:01,866
I'm definitely gonna have
to dig in my catalog

01:00:01,966 --> 01:00:03,300
and bring up some up-tempo songs
1402
01:00:03,400 --> 01:00:05,102
that I've been
sitting on for a while
1403
01:00:05,202 --> 01:00:06,954
because I'm gonna have
to bring it because these, uh,
1404
01:00:07,037 --> 01:00:09,139
crowds are rowdy
and they're ready to go.
1405

1423
01:00:58,655 --> 01:01:00,474
A lot of you knew

what to do in that room,
1425
01:01:02,392 --> 01:01:04,194
and some of you, I think,
had a good talent
1426
01:01:04,294 --> 01:01:06,130
but it was ill-suited
to the room.
1427

that the song choices

but, um, there was a lot

1430

A lot of good.
1431
01:01:13,704 --> 01:01:15,706
In particular,
three made it through,
1432
01:01:15,806 --> 01:01:18,542

1435
01:01:27,051 --> 01:01:28,919
...and Adam.
1436
01:01:29,053 --> 01:01:30,337
Yeah, I think you guys
1437
01:01:30,420 --> 01:01:32,056
just came out swinging tonight.
1438
01:01:32,156 --> 01:01:33,457
The energy was great.
1439
01:01:33,557 --> 01:01:35,259
And when you came out
barefooted and, like,
1440
01:01:35,392 --> 01:01:36,761
completely swag loose,
1441
01:01:36,894 --> 01:01:38,479
the whole audience
immediately felt that energy.
1442
01:01:38,562 --> 01:01:41,398
You came out guns blazing,
the audience went, "Okay."
1443
01:01:41,498 --> 01:01:43,117
So if you want the audience
to feel a certain way,
1444
01:01:43,200 --> 01:01:46,236
you have to start
by being that way yourself.
1445
01:01:46,370 --> 01:01:47,855
And as exciting
1446
01:01:47,938 --> 01:01:50,107
as the top three are,
we also have a bottom three
1447
01:01:50,207 --> 01:01:51,909
that we have to talk about.
1448
01:01:52,009 --> 01:01:54,779
And that is Olivia,
1449
01:01:54,912 --> 01:01:57,081
Forrest and Blaine.
1450
01:01:57,181 --> 01:01:59,116
It sucks, but it's just about
1451
01:01:59,216 --> 01:02:02,186
how you connected here
in this place tonight
1452
01:02:02,286 --> 01:02:05,673
with this particular audience
that came out to see Keith.
1453
01:02:05,756 --> 01:02:07,992
If you're not
in the bottom three,
1454
01:02:08,092 --> 01:02:10,411
you're gonna get on the tour bus
and head to the next town.
1455
01:02:10,494 --> 01:02:12,346
-Congratulations, everybody.
-Congratulations, buddy.
1456
01:02:12,429 --> 01:02:13,530
-Thank you.
-That was great.

01:02:15,432 --> 01:02:16,566
Way to go, brother.
1459
01:02:16,666 --> 01:02:18,102
This is gonna suck.
1460
01:02:18,202 --> 01:02:20,521
Oh, my God, that kid's
almost already crying.
1461
01:02:22,272 --> 01:02:24,708
Forrest, I'll start with you.
1462
01:02:24,809 --> 01:02:28,612
You bring such
a unique take on performing.
1463
01:02:28,745 --> 01:02:31,949
The thing that you've got
to figure out is,
1464
01:02:32,049 --> 01:02:35,786
how do I take that guy
and then connect with people?
1465
01:02:35,886 --> 01:02:37,955
And Olivia, when we're
in Fort Worth, Texas,
1466
01:02:38,055 --> 01:02:41,058
a lot of these people are
cowboys that have come to town
1467
01:02:41,158 --> 01:02:42,409
for the weekend rodeo.
1468
01:02:42,492 --> 01:02:45,930
Maybe that particular song
1469
01:02:46,030 --> 01:02:47,915
just wasn't enough
to kind of rile them up.
1470
01:02:47,998 --> 01:02:50,801
And Blaine, I think
Keith said it best earlier:
1471
01:02:50,935 --> 01:02:53,637
whatever it is
that you give them
1472
01:02:53,737 --> 01:02:57,574
is kind of what you can expect
to get back from them.
1473
01:02:57,674 --> 01:03:02,229
We all felt like maybe you had
the least amount of connection
1474
01:03:02,312 --> 01:03:06,083
to the audience tonight
and for that reason, I'm sorry,
1475
01:03:06,183 --> 01:03:07,568
we're gonna have
to send you home.
1476
01:03:07,651 --> 01:03:09,319
All right.
1477
01:03:10,120 --> 01:03:11,956

all of us experience this.

Y-You play somewhere
on a certain night
1479
01:03:15,325 --> 01:03:17,144
and for some reason,
that crowd just doesn't connect
1480
01:03:17,227 --> 01:03:19,096
with what you do
and who you are.
1481
01:03:19,196 --> 01:03:21,231
You go to the next town
the next night,
1482
01:03:21,331 --> 01:03:23,733
that crowd does,
and nothing's changed about you.
1483
01:03:23,834 --> 01:03:25,469
You've just found something
1484
01:03:25,569 --> 01:03:28,738
