Innersleeve 30 Country Music Star Brandon Lay | Chair Warriors | AC/DC Craft Beer

The boys are joined by Country music star Brandon Lay during the first half of this week’s episode. He chats with Cassius about stage fright (and how he’s dealt with it), finally earning his shot with a record label and how multicultural the music scenes in Tennessee and Nashville are!

During the 2nd half of the show, SoundMojo’s very own, Chair Warriors, stop by for a visit and touch on how important melodies are in their music, what the trick to lasting as a band is and announce a release date for their new music! Enjoy!
