Adam Hambrick: How Not To (Dan+Shay), Somebody Else Will (Justin Moore) and more!

Adam Hambrick joins us this week on the Stories Behind the Songs podcast!

Adam has several huge artist cuts along with a successful artist career of his own. Some of my favorite cuts of his that we’ll talk more about in this week’s episode are “How Not To” released by Dan + Shay (which was actually almost cut by Rascal Flatts) and “Somebody Else Will” by Justin Moore (which was ALSO almost cut by Rascal Flatts).

He also recently put out his debut full-length solo album, “Free Country” back in 2023 and has racked up several million streams on his 2018 single “Rockin’ All Night Long.”

Make sure to stay in the loop with what Adam’s got going on - he has an unreleased song, “Oxford” that will be coming out soon that has been a HUGE hit and fan favorite on The Listening Room stage when he’s played it here.

In this episode, Adam also talks about being asked to get up on stage with Justin Moore to sing “Small Town USA,” learning to discern between a hit and just another song, the realities of record and publishing deals in Nashville, the story behind his song - “Oxford” as well as an awesome full-performance of the song, and going hard at Tin Roof after getting a song cut.
