In this episode of The Raised Rowdy Podcast, hosts Nick Tressler and Matt Burrill sit down with rising country artist Brandon Wisham to catch up on a massive stretch of his young career. Brandon shares the story of finding out he would make his Grand Ole Opry debut, including the surprise moment when Tyler Hubbard delivered the news, and reflects on how quickly life has changed since he first started pursuing music. The conversation dives into the unexpected success of “Growing Up,” why his most personal songs have connected the deepest with fans, and his desire to make music that reminds people they are human. Brandon also breaks down his debut EP Ain’t What It Looks Like, the vulnerable experiences and healing process behind the project, and songs including “I Hope It Rains” and “Nothing Left to Burn.” He opens up about the importance of his team at The Core, the mentorship he has received from Tyler Hubbard, handling the pressure of social media and content creation, and learning to embrace every part of the grind. With his debut EP and Grand Ole Opry debut arriving during the same exciting chapter, Brandon reflects on how far he has come in just a few years and why he is more motivated than ever for what comes next.
