From a small-town Georgia boy with a guitar to a Nashville Songwriters Hall of Fame inductee, Tony Arata’s story is one of persistence, faith, and passion for the craft. In this episode, Tony opens up about his path through the music industry, the highs and lows of chasing a dream, and the life experiences that shaped both the man and the music.
