episode 21: Writin’, Sippin’, & Chasin’ - Cole Taylor
Cole Taylor has written songs for some big country artists. Cole Swindell, Jason Aldean, and Florida Georgia Line, just to name a few. He does, however, try to write a few birdies on the scorecard from time to time.
We open up the interview and learn a little more about Cole. Growing up in Georgia and already friends with Cole Swindell, he had music in his blood. Coming up 13 hours short of his degree, he rounded up some money and moved to Nashville.
We talk about life in Nashville and what that whole scene looks like from his perspective. We learn that a song cycle from writing to radio could take up to two years. Cole also has a collection of 650 songs written…650!?
After some more music talk, we finally transition over to golf talk. He had a chance to play Augusta National, so we chat a little about that. During COVID, he, Cole Swindell, and Tyler Reeve started Playing Through group. This business venture allows them to play private shows at different clubs and tie in golf. Yellowstone Club, anyone?
We wrap up the show with our standard tap-in segment. Tune in now and share with a friend. Great episode that will keep your attention throughout!
