Episode 94
In Episode 94, Aaron and Brent look at two different Grammy awarding-winning singer/songwriters: One from Stoughton, Massachusetts and the other originally from Kennett, Missouri.
Known for writing songs for artists like Little Big Town, Tim McGraw, Faith Hill and more, Aaron looks at three songs from the solo career of Lori McKenna.
