🔴 ABOUT YOUR HOST 🔴
Brad and Brett Warren started as recording artists in their hometown of Tampa, Fl. They moved to Nashville in 1995 and, in 1997, signed a record deal with RCA records. They made three albums for RCA’s sister label BNA Records; in addition, they had one independent release on 429 Records called “Well Deserved Obscurity.” During that time, they toured extensively as an opening act for Tim McGraw, Faith Hill, and many other artists. As artists, they have had 7 Billboard Top 40 hits. Since then, McGraw took an interest in their songwriting and has recorded over 30 of their songs.
They were both celebrity judges on the 2nd season of “Nashville Star.” In 2005 and 2006, they had their own reality series on CMT called “Barely Famous, The Warren Brothers.” Their sense of humor has landed them as part-time radio personalities, and they’ve even had a few film cameos. They were CMA nominees for Duo of the Year for six straight years and had Grammy nominations for Song of the Year (“If You’re Reading This”) and CMA Song of the Year (“Anyway”).
In 2013 the duo won a Daytime Emmy for Outstanding Original Song for ‘Good Afternoon America,’ the theme song for the ABC program ‘Good Afternoon America,’ which they co-wrote with Little Big Town. Learn more about the Warren Brothers by visiting or clicking 👉 WarrenBrothers.com.

“Brad and Brett are two of the best songwriters to ever grace Music Row,” says Ben Vaughn, President & CEO, WCM Nashville. “They have an uncanny ability to easily write both the deep lyrics and fun commercial songs. They are true tunesmiths that keep their co-writers and publishers laughing with their jokes and fast wit. Our Warner Chappell family looks forward to working with them!”
“Ben Vaughn, Christina Wiltshire, and the staff at Warner Chappell feel like home to us,” the brothers added. “There’s no place in Nashville we’d rather be. It’s great to have publishers who allow you to be yourself and encourage it. We suck at being anyone else anyway.”...

The title track’s influence can be heard on “Feet Wanna Run,” an ode to wilder days that he wrote with Brad and Brett Warren of The Warren Brothers, as well as Chris LaCorte.
“They took me in like brothers early on and mentored me,” Ernest says. “We already had ‘Flower Shops,’ and they had the title for this song. I wanted to create this vintage world in which a listener can live when listening to the album.
I went and made a drink, and Brett already had written the second verse on his phone. And they’ve both had their wild side too, so I feel like it was pretty easy for all of us to be that guy and be able to write that song. To me, these songs are bullet points from the stories in my life over the course of the last couple of years.”...

As many stop and reflect on this Memorial Day about the sacrifices that the military makes – one of the songs that many people turn to is Tim McGraw‘s “If You’re Reading This.”
Tim premiered the song during the 2007 ACM Awards in Las Vegas – after his performance, the crowd in tears shot to their feet for a standing ovation.
Since then, the track has held a special place for many people who not only relate to the lyrics but also…unfortunately, have lived the story. Tim shares the story behind “If You’re Reading This”
Tim Said, “Brett, Brad Warren, and I wrote that song. I remember I was on an airplane, and I think it was a Time magazine article – and it was early on during the Iraqi war...

In May (2020), when the country singer-songwriter duo The Warren Brothers shared the news that Brad Warren’s 21-year-old son Sage had died, there was no real information on his cause of death. Only speculation. But on Sunday night (August 16), three months after the sudden and tragic day of Sage’s death, Brad Warren opened a post on Facebook.
Here’s what he had to say:
Friends. I only peek at social media every once in a while, and today I haven’t ever expounded on the loss of my son Sage except at his funeral.
On May 18, 2020, Michelle and I lost our oldest son Sage to this world. He was 21 years old. We believe with every fiber of our being that he is in Heaven where he belongs and that we will see him again one day.
I love this child more than I thought possible, and I miss him every second of every day.
