I also got to sit down with my buddy, Marty Roe from Diamond Rio. The hits they have had are incredible and it was great catching up with him. Be sure to tune in or you’ll be missing out!”

T. Graham Brown is also celebrating the 25th Anniversary of his hit song, “Wine Into Water.” Released on August 25, 1998, “Wine Into Water” has become a signature song of T. Graham Brown’s throughout the country, bringing to life his internal struggles with alcohol and addiction. Written by T. Graham Brown, Ted Hewitt, and Bruce Burch and produced by Brown and Gary Nicholson, this single continues to resonate with fans daily, making it one of his most requested songs.

“Wine Into Water” is a very personal song for me and when we sat down to write it, the words just came out,” shares Brown. “Listen, I continued to struggle with my demons like no one can believe. One morning, I woke up and said a prayer. I was tired of hurting and feeling sick all the time. It was killing me. So, I said my prayer, and something happened. It changed my life. Living through this, it has become my mission to help someone, even if only one, then it was all worth it. Music is powerful and it means so much that this song has affected so many people. I love ya!”
