In The Blind Podcast

In The Blind is the no-holds-barred podcast hosted by Eric Gunderson and Stephen Barker Liles of the country duo Love and Theft. Each week they pull back the curtain on life, music, and the wild stories that shape the artists we love. This week they’re joined by powerhouse country artist and songwriter Styles Haury...the Ohio kid who went from playing garage bands to co-writing Luke Bryan’s #1 hit “Country On,” earning cuts with Craig Morgan and more, while building a career as an independent artist with a big voice and even bigger heart. He has an incredible new project out called 5-9, make sure you check it out!
In this energetic episode, Styles opens up about his musical journey from small-town Ohio to Nashville, the realities of the music business, his life as a husband and father of three, the importance of mental health, and so much more. Expect raw conversation, laughs, and real talk about chasing dreams while staying grounded

In the Blind is a country music and country lifestyle podcast where we sit down with artists, song writers, actors, and entertainers, to dive deep into their careers…the breakthrough moments, the ups and downs, mental health, the creative process, and everything in between. On Episode 62 we had the absolute honor of sitting down with country music legend Clint Black. From his explosive 1989 debut album Killin’ Time (which delivered multiple #1 singles and sold millions) to 22 career #1 hits, over 20 million records sold, a Grammy, Hollywood Walk of Fame star, and decades of chart-topping success on RCA and beyond, Clint has defined traditional country for generations. We talked about his incredible journey, the stories behind the hits, and his brand-new memoir Killin’ Time: My Life and Music. Clint was an absolute gentleman and delivered one of our favorite interviews ever…raw, insightful, and inspiring.

He opens up about sharing a house and building a friendship with Ella Langley, the wild early days in Music City, and why he is now releasing music under his real family name Thomason - the last in his bloodline - to honor his roots with raw, introspective songs about redemption, relationships, and second chances.
