A Las Cruces, New Mexico policeman becomes a COUNTRY STAR. Meet Frank Ray

As a kid, Francisco Gomez grew up in Deming, New Mexico. His parents divorced when he was a young boy and he lived with his mother in Laredo and San Antonio, Texas. He then moved to Columbus, New Mexico with his father. It was through his moving that he began listening to not only country music, but also ranchera music. As he is of Hispanic descent, he thought that he would "stand out" as a country musician, citing other Hispanic artists such as Freddy Fender as inspiration.

Before he became Frank Ray, the Country singer, he spent ten years on the Police force in Las Cruces, New Mexico and to this day, he continues to 'BackThe Blue' and support mental health within the First Responder and Law Enforcement community with his organization, FRAY.

Great conversation with Frank Ray who's being honored at the National Law Enforcement Museum in Washington, DC!

Mitchell Tenpenny reveals his BIG Tour plans for 2024

Mitchell Tenpenny has defied the odds of being FROM Nashville, yet still becoming a Country Star. For whatever reason, although Nashville is the HOME of Country music, most all of the artists that have found big success there, were born somewhere else.

Mitchell, a borned songwriter, got an early introduction to the industry from his grandmother who worked for a Country music publishing company. She may have opened some doors for Mitchell but, clearly, he's the one who's knocked them down!

Great to catch up with this rising star for this episode of the Michael J Pod!

Brothers Osborne take all the stigmas on with GREAT Country music and TJ Osborne shares an update with me!

I've been a vocal supporter of Brothers Osborne from their very early days playing local gigs all over Maryland. They've helped put what's known as the DMV (DC, MAryland and Virginia) on the Country music map along with other homegrown talents like Jackson Dean and LoCash. They've developed a passionate fan base built on driving rhythms, TJ's baritone vocals and personal stories revealing more and more about who they are and their unique perception of life, relationships, struggle, love and sometimes just hell-raising fun!

With their self-titled fourth album, Brothers Osborne, they give us a look into John,, now a dad of twins and TJ, who has found some new realities in life after achieving career goals from Grammy Awards to chart success. What's it all mean and what does it all feel like?

Let's find out with T.J. Osborne! - @MIchaelJonAir
