The Cadillac Three is opening for Jake Owen on his Days of Gold Tour, and one of the things they enjoy is Jake’s soundchecks every night. Jaren Johnston says, “Jake’s a genuine country fan. He can get up there and he can do Merle Haggard, he can do T.G. Sheppard, he can do all those old greats, and he does it every day at sound check for like eight hours. It’s very annoying. No, I’m just kidding.”
Actually, Jaren says, “It’s very cool to be on the road with somebody that respects all those different types of country music and then would take somebody like us on the road that see’s a different spin on it. But, it’s a huge thing to be on that tour, for a band like us.”
The guys say their brand of “country fuzz,” like their debut single, “The South,” is going over well. “His crowd likes to have a good time, and we like to have a good time. So, it works,” says Jaren.
