ASH-PHALT Ep. 16 | Brian Russell Collins: Touring with Jelly Roll, the Opry & A Cause to Rock

Episode 16

Tuesday, July 7, 2026 • Duration 47:03

What does it take to build a career as a professional drummer in Nashville—and use that success to make a real difference?

On this episode of ASH-PHALT, I sit down with Brian Russell Collins, a Nashville music industry veteran, touring drummer, and the founder & CEO of A Cause to Rock. Brian shares his journey from chasing the dream in Music City to performing on some of the biggest stages in country music, including the Grand Ole Opry and Nissan Stadium during CMA Fest.

Throughout his career, Brian has shared the stage with artists including Jelly Roll (Beautifully Broken Tour), Brooks & Dunn (Reboot Tour), Brothers Osborne, Dierks Bentley, Justin Moore, Kip Moore, Lily Rose, Josh Gracin, Jon Langston, Dillon Carmichael, Allie Colleen, Royale Lynn, Scoot Teasley, Adam Sanders, Joey Green, and Dani Rose.

But Brian’s story goes far beyond touring.

As the founder of A Cause to Rock, he’s using the power of music to help families affected by cancer and to bring the Nashville community together through incredible events like Fight for Nashville. We talk about giving back, finding purpose, life on the road, what it takes to survive in the music industry, and why success means so much more when you use it to serve others.

If you love country music, Nashville, songwriting, the behind-the-scenes life of touring musicians, or hearing the stories behind the people who make the music happen, this is an episode you won’t want to miss.
