Episode Notes

From his humble beginnings in East Dallas to co-writing one of the biggest songs in country music history, Ben Burgess has become one of todays most in-demand songwriters, across all genres of music.   He's currently gearing up to release his debut album on Big Loud Records in September of 2022.   

In this episode, we discuss, the Las Vegas, Route 66 festival shooting, Ben's first cut with the Jonas Brothers, Kevin and Ben's first writing session, and the "hold game" (when artists or record labels "hold" a song for a record, which they may of may not end up using).    

Best of all, we think Ben's cheeky "uncut gem" might just light your fuse.  ;)
