About this listen

 This week we offer a heartfelt Memorial Day tribute, with Army combat veteran and rising country music star Scotty Hasting, who will perform at this year’s National Memorial Day concert in Washington DC. (PBS) We begin with his memories of a life changing deployment to Afghanistan. He spoke about the good times … and the bad. We hear about life on a remote combat outpost, how he survived being shot 10 times, and the ultimate sacrifice made by his best friend, Adam Hamilton. Hasting shares how he initially found therapy in archery before COVID struck. Then facing isolation, he picked up a guitar. In just a couple years he went from learning guitar from YouTube videos, to playing stages all over Nashville, and he described his miraculous big break, when he was discovered by Black Label Records. Hasting discusses his meteoric rise in the music business, and the song he wrote for his fallen best friend. And we hear the emotional military song he recorded with Lee Brice and the legendary Dolly Parton. We wrap with a listen to his epic, feel-good summer anthem “Pro Beer”. Pop a top and click play!
