Songs at the Center

Artist: "Music and Healing," the second of two special episodes exploring the power of music, featuring Travis Meadows and host Eric Gnezda. Travis Meadows sits down with host Eric Gnezda in the season's second episode centering on the theme of "music and healing." Travis is well known among songwriter circles in Nashville, both as a writer and performer. He describes himself as "an open wound," and the rawness of his words and his vocals are compelling. He was shaped by a Mississippi childhood, which included a battle with cancer, his parent's divorce, and later, struggles with alcohol, drugs, God and demons, and a host of memorable characters along the way. He has written several number one hits, and has songs recorded by Dierks Bentley, Eric Church, Jake Owen, Lynyrd Skynyrd, Hank Williams, Jr., Wynonna, and Randy Houser. Music has always been his sanctuary. He is accompanied by musician Whiskey Jack Untz. They perform "Davidson County Police," "Learning to Live Alone," and "Riser."
