Welcome to Stories Behind the Songs with Chris Blair! We hope you enjoy this podcast and will listen, follow, like and rate us here on Spotify, Apple, Amazon, Google, iHeart, YouTube or anywhere you listen to podcasts!In this episode I sit down with hit songwriter and #1 book author J.T. Harding! You may not know the name, but you know the songs. J.T. has written so many hit songs for artists like Uncle Kracker, Keith Urban, Kenny Chesney, Jake Owen, Darius Rucker, The Jonas Brothers, Blake Shelton and many more. Hailing from Detroit, Michigan, he moved to LA to become a rock star himself but eventually started coming to Nashville to write songs and it just stuck. This has to be the funniest episode I have put out to date! J.T. is just always full of energy and his humor will make you laugh out loud while you're going through the episode.
In the episode he talks about how Lincoln Park helped him get a songwriting deal. He'll talk about the stories behind songs he wrote like "Somewhere With You" for Kenny Chesney, "Smile" for Uncle Kracker, "Alone With You" for Jake Owen, meeting Keith Urban in a bathroom at an awards show and how that led to "Somewhere In My Car," along with other stories behind his songs, great advice for new songwriters and more.
