On this edition of Road Gang Radio, hosts Jimmy Mac and Lindsay Lawler welcome rising neo-traditional country artist Waylon Hanel.

The 23-year-old Michigan native has quickly built a devoted fan base with his down-to-earth style, bold live performances, and textured vocals that blend outlaw country, blues, and southern rock. Waylon joins us to share the story behind his latest single, “Tow Truck Driver” — a hilarious, true-to-life tale written by Combat Vet Andrew Brockdorf and hit songwriter Bernie Nelson that’s making waves on the Music Row Country Breakout Chart.

We also talk about Waylon’s big festival dates coming up, his journey as a self-taught artist, and what’s next for this young country powerhouse.
