When Can You REALLY Call Yourself a Headliner?

What actually makes an artist a headliner?

The guys get into one of their most spirited debates yet over artists calling themselves headliners too early, posting about “sold-out shows” when they were actually the opening act, and why paying your dues still matters in the music business.

They also talk Jason Aldean earning two Diamond-certified songs, Megan Moroney’s rise, Neil Thrasher’s Songwriters Hall of Fame nomination, life on the road, Broadway, football, pickleball—and somehow end up debating the moon landing again.

It’s one of those episodes where the guys disagree, argue, laugh and somehow keep coming back for more.
