Jackson Dean on Hunting, Crabbing, and Building a Career the Hard Way on God’s Country Podcast

God's Country

Show Notes

Jackson Dean joins the Brothers Hunt out in God’s Country for a wide-ranging conversation about growing up in rural Maryland, working masonry job sites with his dad, and the unlikely road that led him to Nashville.

Jackson tells stories about hunting behind his childhood home, crabbing in the Chesapeake Bay, and how his blue-collar upbringing shaped the way he approaches music and life. The guys also dive into travel horror stories, the realities of chasing a music career, and why the simple things — land, a good dog, and a good woman — still matter most.

Along the way you’ll hear stories about Jackson’s early open mic nights, selling out clubs before Nashville even knew his name, and the moment the industry finally started paying attention.

It’s an episode full of laughs, wild outdoor stories, and a real conversation about what it means to build something the hard way.
