Hoop N' Coop

With his true heart and authentic kindness, West Virginia born-and-raised fiddle player, songwriter, and country/folk legend in the making Philip Bowen makes it clear that bringing positivity and light into your life and sharing it through your art can make an impact that changes lives. From his start playing in small bands back home, to riding the wave on TikTok with his viral fiddle playing moments, to rocking the world on America's Got Talent, Philip's journey through career changes, starting a family, pursuing a dream in music, and sharing stages with top country and folk artists and songwriters is inspiring, relatable, and truly special. 

A current icon in the independent country/folk scene, New England native and six string slingin' country music star Joshua Quimby let us in on not only how his life has been influenced by music as well as his upbringing in a small northeastern town, but also by his passions outside of music- his family, hobbies, and doin' pot! This episode is for country fans, Smash players, and doobie rollers alike!

Part 2! Brennan talked us through some more of his musical influences and songwriting process, and showed us a couple of songs that really moved everyone in the room.

We had such a great time this episode was split in two! Pulled like a turnip fresh from the loamy Virginia soil, folk-country singer/songwriter Brennan Edwards dives into his story as an artist and the introspective journey he's put wheels down on since his first release. He also has a deep passion for taking care of your brain, which left both Hoop and Coop enlightened. 

After a crazy couple of weeks between them, Hoop N' Coop take a show for themselves to catch up on their recent shenanigans.

Texas-fed Brendan Walter is on a crazy come up here in Nashville, and getting an inside look on his inspirations, accomplishments, and goals was a pleasure- but what will blow you away about him is his truly authentic, no-holds-barred attitude that will have you rolling! Brendan is a class act while being a genuine wild-child at heart at the same time, and it was a pleasure having him on the Therapy Couch!

We took the show off Hooper's Therapy Couch to Adrian James Studio in Nashville, where we got to pick the brain of esteemed engineer, art-forward promoter, future PGA Tour Champion, and fishing aficionado AJ Fuxa! Alongside being an incredible resource in Nashville who both helps and advocates for local artists, AJ's journey from being a young fishing charter captain in Key Largo to graduating from one of the most prestigious studio engineering programs in the world made for a captivating episode- and we hope you enjoy it as much as we did!

For the first time since the last time, Hoop and Coop get a show to themselves! Hooper took this episode to ask Cooper some predetermined questions about his music and influences, his journey to becoming an artist, and what keeps him moving as he navigates Nashville; and with each answer, we hear a bit of Hooper's story as well. We get a genuine inside look into their relationship while sharing laughs along the way.  Ah, something bit me!

Jacket-jeering Georgia native Duke Jones is fitting right in here in Nashville, and his stories and experiences thus far are more than noteworthy; not only being a rising country singer/songwriter, but also being a 19 year old in an ever-changing world where getting your music heard is harder than it has ever been. However, Duke's story and music alike will have you wishing you'd heard of him sooner! 

We are joined on the Therapy Couch by Michigan native and unbelievable singer, songwriter, and performer Miles Balley! We left no stone unturned- music roots, writing songs, smoking cigarettes with Zach Bryan, packing lips, being nuisances in high school, and Rocket League were just a few of the topics of conversation we shared with Miles in the studio.
