Ben Chapman recently joined the Whiskey Riff Raff podcast, and our conversation ranged from trade jobs to the Beatles to the importance of country music history. The “Don’t You Dare” singer discussed his favorite places in Nashville, how it’s been to watch Music City change in his lifetime, and how he and his wife – fellow artist Meg McCree – juggle music and raising their little one. Chapman also touched on the music that helped shape who he is, having Channing Wilson as a mentor, and his latest album, Feet On Fire, being called “funky tonk.” Ben also talked about how he approaches songwriting, trying to have songs that jam but avoiding being a “jam band,” and his concern that no cool music will be made in 20 years. Chapman went on to say a lot of modern artists are making “phone in” records, called out a lot of young artists that don’t know the history of country music, and entertained the thought of country stars from the 60s and 70s living in the modern, social media age of music. You can hear about all of that and more from Ben Chapman by checking out the interview on YouTube or making sure to download the podcast on Apple Podcasts by searching “Whiskey Riff Raff.” We’re also available on Spotify and wherever else you can listen to podcasts.
