Performance Neurology with Josh Turknett, MD

How 3x Grammy Winner Bryan Sutton Gets Out of His Own Way

July 7, 2026·50 min
Episode Description from the Publisher

Bryan Sutton is a three-time Grammy winner and one of the most-recorded session guitarists in Nashville, with credits from Garth Brooks and Taylor Swift to Dolly Parton and Doc Watson. Yet, he's driven home from sessions convinced he'd never work in the town again. In this conversation we get into how he built his playing growing up immersed in the mountain music of Western North Carolina, why performing under pressure is a completely separate skill from playing well, and the mental shift he uses to get out of his own way.
