episode 7: Writes It n’ Hits It - Thomas Archer
Nothing pairs better with a sunny day of golf than some music playing and a drink of choice in the holder. Whatever music you’re into, it surely elevates the vibe. For us, we enjoy hearing three chords and the truth. That’s exactly what our guest today puts together for a living. Thomas Archer joins us to talk songwriting in Nashville and his pursuit of birdies.
We open up the episode and hear about his background. It wasn’t too long ago that he moved to Nashville to chase a dream. Growing up in Georgia allowed him to dig into the roots of country music AND golf. Now it’s all come full circle.
Thomas hooks up with a guy by the name of Luke Combs early on in his career. It wasn’t until 3 years later that the song they wrote caught fire and changed his life. This song is called Hurricane…may have heard it? If you ever heard the song “Lovin’ On You,” there’s reference to a birdie on a Par 5…that’s straight from TA’s mind.
He just recently completed a write with Morgan Wallen and landed a song on his new album called “Keith Whitely.” He explains the ins and outs of this song and how it went through some changes before finally being a song that would make the album. We turn the episode over to some golf talk and catch up on where he plays, who he plays with, and how his game is shaping up headed into this summer. We end the episode with our standard Tap-In segment, where Thomas is asked 4 questions that demand his quick-witted reply. Tune in now, share, and enjoy this episode! We hope you enjoy it!
