Jay Webb: Breaking Rules & Owning Country | Ep 29

Join hosts Eric Gunderson and Stephen Barker of country duo Love and Theft on this raw, unfiltered episode of In The Blind Podcast, where we strip back the Nashville shine and get real with rising country rebel Jay Webb. This Alabama-born trailblazer (born and raised in rural North Alabama) is the definition of doing it his way…pulling from gritty hip-hop beats, soulful Americana, and traditional twang to craft genre-blurring anthems that hit like a gut punch. No trucks-in-a-field clichés here; Jay's all about leaning into the chaos, scars, and stories of a turbulent childhood turned purpose-driven career.

Dive deep into Jay's journey: from getting his first guitar at age 7 and cutting high school demos, to going viral on TikTok with "Southern Girl" (over 1M streams), and building an organic empire independently…racking up 415M+ total streams, 2M+ devoted fans, and a social media storm with 140K+ on Facebook alone, plus massive growth on TikTok, Instagram, Spotify (monthly listeners in the hundreds of thousands), and YouTube. As an indie powerhouse with no major label ties, he's shattered expectations with hits like "Bury Me With Bourbon," "Broken" (a heartfelt nod to tough times with his mom), "Down Here," "Yee-Haw," and "Saturday Night." Fresh off his debut album “Where To Find Me” (dropped July 25, 2025)…his true intro to the world, blending elevated country production with raw introspection…he just wrapped his first headline tour and is charging toward airwave domination.

In this episode, Jay opens up about pushing envelopes, the grind of self-releasing tracks without writing lyrics on paper, influences from backroads chaos to city grit, and why he's not chasing trends but building his own lane. Expect laughs, real talk on love/loss/pride, and why this envelope-pusher is the future of #NewCountryMusic. Don't miss the stories behind his heart-piercing emotion and catchy melodies that have fans singing along from Mobile to LA.
