On today’s episode, we have the honor of sitting down with a legend in the music biz. Michael Blanton has been in the A&R/management side of the music business for almost 50 years. He signed some of the biggest artists in Christian music history (Amy Grant, Michael W Smith, Rich Mullins, and many more).

His understanding of culture and innovation in music and marketing led to a storied career with a multitude of accolades, awards, and platinum records. We get into lots of great stories from his time in that world. Now in his early 70’s, we get the sense that there’s still a lot more to come from Michael Blanton. Enjoy!

Beecher shares with us their beautiful story of being raised evangelical Christian in the south and the harrowing journey of coming to full acceptance of their non-binary self while also holding on to elements of their faith.

Shane Stevens is a singer/songwriter whose resumé includes writing songs for Ariana Grande, Selena Gomez, Carrie Underwood, Walker Hayes, Lady A, Sara Evans… and the list goes on. We had the pleasure of hanging with him for a bit and recording the conversation. Shane is an absolute gem of a person. He shares stories of his life from his time in NYC to the move to Nashville and everything in between. His stories are enthralling and the through-line with which he connects them all is fascinating. You’ll want him to be your bff. Ladies and gentlemen, Shane Stevens.
