John Hammond is one of Nashville’s premier drummers—and trust us, the résumé (and the stories) prove it. With a career spanning nearly four decades, John has played behind some of the biggest names in Christian and country music. But this episode isn’t about drum fills or technique. It’s about the journey.

It’s a conversation between friends as we peel back the pages on a life in music that’s still going strong.

From Amy Grant and Russ Taff to The Cathedrals and Greater Vision… from Whitney Houston and 4HIM to Kathy Mattea and Phillips, Craig & Dean—John’s steady hands and unmistakable feel have left an indelible mark on countless recordings and stages.

But beyond the accolades and credits, John Hammond is simply one of the most respected—and most likable—musicians in the business. And as you’ll hear, the stories behind the songs are just as compelling as the music itself.

Songwriter Brian White joins us for a compelling conversation in our latest episode.

It hardly seems plausible—much less possible—that one songwriter could pen some of the most recognizable songs in Christian music—“Holding Out Hope To You” (Michael English), “The Promise” (The Martins)—and then turn around and do the very same thing in country music with hits like “Watching You” (Rodney Atkins) and “Blame It On You” (Jason Aldean).

And yet… that's what Brian White has accomplished.

With more than 400 recorded songs to his credit, Brian White has got stories for days—including a few you won’t hear anywhere else.

Pull up a chair—this is a conversation worth hearing.
