Show Notes
On Episode 291 of the Raised Rowdy Podcast, Nick Tressler and Kurt Ozan sit down with Georgia country artist Cole Goodwin. Cole shares how his parents introduced him to traditional country, Southern rock and legendary artists like Waylon Jennings, Merle Haggard, Hank Jr. and Charlie Daniels, shaping the old-school sound he carries into his own music. He reflects on cutting his teeth in the Statesboro live-music scene, developing into a confident performer and growing from playing Raised Rowdy writers rounds to touring nationally. Cole also takes listeners behind the scenes of his run with Luke Bryan, including performing “Pickup Man” and hiding inside Luke’s piano for an unforgettable end-of-tour prank. The conversation dives into the success of his radio single “Howdy,” the timeless message behind “Closer Every Day,” his creative partnership with producer Ryan Youmans and the new music he has waiting in the wings. Cole also discusses upcoming shows with Ashley McBryde and Braxton Keith, balancing heartfelt songs with humor and spending his time away from the road hunting, fishing and visiting family.
