Summary

Mark Miller of Sawyer Brown joined Bobby Bones to talk about his life and career journey! Sawyer Brown is often mistaken for a person, so he set the record straight that it's no one's name and just the name of the band. Mark released his book, 'The Boys and Me: My Life In The Country Supergroup Sawyer Brown.' In it, he shares stories of how the band got turned down by every label in Nashville and then got their start on Star Search. He also shares what some of his first jobs were like when he had to water ski as Pinocchio at Disney World. Mark also recalls the time he first met Larry Bird and they golfed together, and he didn't say a word to him the entire time! He also talks about his first new record in 20 years, Desperado Troubadour, and how he got Blake Shelton to produce it. Mark also dives into the stories behind some of Sawyer Brown's biggest hits and more!
