This week on Backstage Country Uncut, John Shomby fills in for regular host Elaina Smith as he sits down with rising country star George Birge for a behind-the-scenes look at his music, life on the road, and what could be the biggest next chapter of his career!
George reveals why he wants 2027 to be the year of the album, sharing how he’s spent nearly two years working on the project and written around 200 songs while narrowing the collection down to the tracks that best represent him as an artist. He discusses his vision for the album and his goal of giving fans a deeper look at who he is beyond his hit singles.
Birge also shares the story of how sending a direct message to Tyler Hubbard helped lead to his collaboration with Luke Bryan on “Ride, Ride, Ride.” It’s a reminder that sometimes a big career moment starts with simply taking a chance!
Plus, George talks about life on his headline tour and how he keeps the road fun by firing up a smoker on his tour bus and tailgating before shows with his crew.
