Hosts Bobby Johnson and Barrett Hobbs welcome Mack Geiger, a country artist from Queensland, Australia, to the Nashville Palace for a conversation about his music and how he got here.

Mack talks about getting his start playing bars, rodeos, local campgrounds, and cutting events in Australia, where he worked from a big list of songs instead of a set list and often played four hours or more. He also shares the story of working on a cattle ranch in the Gulf of Queensland with barely any phone service while one of his songs was being released, and a song that passed 43 million streams before he had put out an album.

The conversation turns to his music, including how his first album was recorded, with tracks started in Australia and sent back and forth by email to players in Nashville, and the influences behind it, including Merle Haggard and Slim Dusty.

Mack and the hosts also talk about country music in Australia, the long trip to Nashville, his Grand Ole Opry debut, his CMA Fest set, his recently announced Stagecoach appearance, and the story of dressing up as Alan Jackson as a kid. Mack plays the Nashville Palace on November 11th.
