Clay Barker Talks Auburn, Frat Parties, Touring, New Music, and the Grind | In The Blind Ep. 77

In the Blind Podcast is a raw artist to artist country music podcast hosted by Love and Theft and filmed inside Riley Green’s Duck Blind in midtown Nashville. Eric and Stephen sit down with the people they actually want to talk to and leave the polish at the door. Careers, family, the road, fishing, mental health, and the stuff that never makes the press release. Episode 77 welcomes rising Alabama born Nashville based country artist Clay Barker, the independent voice behind tracks like I Can’t Be in Love With You, Drinkin’ Tonight, and Whiskey on Mine who is pulling early 2000s country into a new generation.Clay grew up in Alexander City, cut his teeth around Auburn and the Southeast bar circuit, and now lives the grind of vans, late nights, and writing rooms. In this one they cover small town Alabama, fraternity parties that turned into songs, nights on the water, the reality of the road, new music, what growth actually looks like when nobody hands it to you, the goals he is chasing next, and the mental health side of staying in it when the wins feel slow. Unfiltered, no script, just three country music singers in a duck blind.
