Big welcome to Keegan Jacko. We have been LOVING your latest single. Why did you lead with this song? 

Because that song means more to me than most. It reminds me of when I moved to Nashville when I knew nobody at all. That song was done by jelly rolls team. Andrew Baylis his producer, Jack Fowler his guitarist and also Nate Milestein (Restless Roads guitarist) back in 2021. I’m very happy to finally get one out there for everyone to hear.

We know everyone's journey is different. What can you share with us about yours?

I was 21 when I first sang publically ever. 23 when I picked up a guitar. 24 when I signed with my first label and released my first single “night lights”. My story is proof for those who want to pursue a passion.. that old dogs CAN learn new tricks

You have a really unique sound - how did you know you needed to share your gift of music with others?

I knew the first time I watched an entire room turn their heads in confusion because my voice doesn’t match my look. lol I knew it the day I made that girl cry for remember a past memory. I knew it the day that an old war veteran came up to me with tears in his eyes telling me my singing helped him remember memories he didn’t even know he still had. I knew it the day I help that kid get the courage to come on stage… each and every day I find new reasons that I’m doing the right thing.

Do you have plans for more music this year? Can you give us any inside scoop?

I have plans to release a new song every other month this year! Stay tuned

If we were riding in the car with you - what would we hear coming through the speakers?
Luke Combs for sure!
