Episode 10 - Jaren Johnston of The Cadillac Three

Jaren Johnston is a Grammy-nominated country songwriter with hit songs for Keith Urban, Tim McGraw and more. He’s also the leader of The Cadillac Three, a great American rock band from Nashville with a new album called Country Fuzz full of kick-ass songs that celebrate southern living. ASCAP’s very own Evyn Mustoe (who knows Jaren better than most – she’s married to the guy) sat down with him a few weeks back to discuss his dual career. Since their interview, Nashville was hit hard by a tornado and the world was hit hard by the coronavirus. We followed up with Jaren to find out how he, his fellow songwriters and Music City are holding up under the circumstances.

Erik Philbrook and Etan Rosenbloom also discuss ASCAP’s new website, ascap.com/musicunitesus, a COVID-19 resource center to help music creators through this difficult time. We’ve assembled info on how to preserve your royalty streams and protect your health and well-being, plus resources for financial assistance. We’ll keep updating it over the coming weeks, so check back often.
