Brooks & Dunn frontman, legendary radio host, and Phil’s longtime friend Kix Brooks stops by the cellar to share old stories and talk about all things wine. Kix reminds Phil of a story about how the latter’s parents not-so-gently directed him away from becoming a drummer. Brooks shares his process of starting a winery in Tennessee - which used to be the 3rd largest grape growing state before the tobacco boom - and how Arrington Vineyards has been creating 20+ different wines for the past 11 years with a large portion of grapes being grown on their own property. He pivots back to music, and shares the inspiration and process behind writing Brooks & Dunn’s hit song, “Red Dirt Road.”Performances:“Red Dirt Road” - Kix Brooks“Rock My World (Little Country Girl)” - Kix BrooksTo stay up to date with Kix Brooks, head on over to https://www.kixbrooks.comTo stay up to date with Brooks & Dunn, head on over to https://www.brooks-dunn.comTo stay up to date with Arrington Vineyards, head on over to https://www.arringtonvineyards.comMore info on Songs From The Cellar & details on how to watch the TV series can be found at https://www.songsfromthecellar.comKeep up with Kix Brooks on Social media at:FacebookInstagramTwitterYouTubeSpotifyKeep up with Brooks & Dunn on Social media at:FacebookInstagramTwitterYouTubeSpotifyKeep up with Arrington Vineyards on Social media at:FacebookInstagramTwitterFollow Phil Vassar and Songs From The Cellar at:FacebookInstagramTwitterYouTubeSpotifyCheck out more awesome podcasts at:American Songwriter Podcast NetworkAnd go!
