On the surface, hearing a song is one thing. But to truly understand what the song is, takes a kindred spirit to crack the topsoil. Recorded in Zac Brown’s infamous studio, Southern Ground Nashville, Breaking Ground, is an artist to artist conversation on each other’s live performed song, recorded and listened to in one take, for the first time. Each guest and artist dig deep into each other’s song, discussing the inspiration and making of it. The season has a mix of artist & songwriter conversations that may change your perception on a song and even songwriting. Weekly, you’ll discover the meanings behind these songs, perhaps pick up an appreciation for the craft of songwriting, and realize that a community that is as diverse as music, is brought together by one thing, THE MUSIC.
