This episode features Michael’s conversation with drummer Chris McHugh.
Chris moved to Nashville from New Jersey in 1985 to start his professional career. Known for his rock solid grooves, he is highly regarded as one of Nashville’s most respected session drummers. His work can be found on multiple gold & platinum selling albums from artists such as Keith Urban, Carrie Underwood, Garth Brooks, Amy Grant, Toby Keith, Rascal Flats and many more.
Michael first became aware of Chris through with work with Keith Urban and was inspired by not only his powerful drumming on many of Keith’s most beloved songs, but also by his incredible stage presence in the live concert setting.
In their conversation they talk about how he started to break into the Nashville studio scene. They discuss his perspectives on what it takes to establish yourself in the studio environment and why it’s important to remain true to who you are as an artist.
They also talk about why it’s invaluable to have mentors in your life, and how your definition of success begins to change as you reflect upon your own life experiences.
