Michael Peterson

<p>Welcome to Episode #85 of The Troubadour Podcast.  Today we take a little departure from the strictly Red Dirt and Texas Country vein and interview a person that had a pretty big impact on my songwriting.</p> <p>In the 90’s I was watching The Nashville Network on TV and saw a guy on a stool with just a guitar and he sang a song that rocked my emotions.  The song was called “When the Bartender Cries.”  It was at that very moment I wanted to try to move people like I had just been through writing songs.  The singer and songwriter was named Michael Peterson and he went on to have a pretty great career.  Most of you probably know him from his hit song “Drink, Swear, Steal and Lie.”</p> <p>When I started this podcast I started trying to track down those who’d impacted my career as a songwriting and get them on the show.  Low and behold, through the platform of Facebook I was able to connect with Michael and he graciously agreed to come on the show.</p> <p>As you’ll hear in the interview, Michaels had a pretty interesting life even outside of his musical career.</p> <p>He’s now even hosting his own radio show and it was fun to hear him asking our own Carly Evan’s for advice on radio and DJing.  A link to Michael’s radio show will be in the show notes for this episode.</p> <p><a href= "https://www.positivelisteningradio.com/michael-peterson.html">https://www.positivelisteningradio.com/michael-peterson.html</a></p> <p>All of Michael’s social media links, music and merch can be explored by going to his website at <a href= "http://www.michaelpetersononline.com">www.michaelpetersononline.com</a></p> <p>So here we go with Episode #85 of The Troubadour with a wonderful singer/songwriter and human being, Michael Peterson.</p> <p><strong><em>How YOU can support the podcast!</em></strong></p> <p>If you’re interested in supporting the podcast and helping us <a href= "http://www.thetroubadourpodcast.com/welcome-to-our-free-carly-campaign/"> FREE CARLY</a> from the bondage of editing every episode <a href= "http://www.thetroubad
