Show Notes
On Episode 292 of the Raised Rowdy Podcast, Nick Tressler and Kurt Ozan sit down with Ohio-born singer-songwriter Wyatt McCubbin. Wyatt discusses his debut album, 650, and how its title honors WSM, the Grand Ole Opry and the radio signal that accompanied his early drives between Ohio and Nashville. He reflects on performing at the Opry with his family watching from side stage and the 16-year journey that led to his record deal with Dave Cobb’s Lucille Records and MCA. Wyatt also shares what he learned recording live to tape with Cobb, working with Marty Stuart and featuring his wife, Holly, throughout the album. The conversation explores his career as a songwriter, including Zach Top’s “Sounds Like the Radio,” Lainey Wilson’s “Whiskey Colored Crayon” and cuts by Luke Combs, Cody Johnson and other country heavyweights. Wyatt opens up about fatherhood, sobriety and the deeply personal story behind “12/9/23,” while also breaking down songs like “Boy in the Boat,” “Breaker Breaker” and “Mr. Neon.” He also looks ahead to joining Luke Combs for a stadium tour in 2027.
