Unapologetically Country Rebel (feat. Kevin and Darin Blue)

This episode of the Nashville Palace Podcast kicks off right where it should… inside the walls of one of the most legendary honky tonks in country music history. Hosts Bobby Johnson and Barrett Hobbs pull up a chair at the Nashville Palace and welcome Kevin and Darin Blue, the brothers behind Country Rebel, one of the biggest country lifestyle media brands in the world. What started as a couple of guys experimenting with social media has grown into a massive community of millions of fans who live and breathe country music, the outdoors, and the country way of life. Over drinks, good food, and plenty of stories, the conversation winds through the early days of Country Rebel, from tailgate parties in California parking lots to building a media company that now works with major artists and reaches millions of country fans across the internet. They talk about taking the leap to Nashville, the hustle behind growing a brand from nothing, and why being “unapologetically country” became the message behind everything they built. Along the way, the episode also dives into the history of the Nashville Palace itself. Barrett shares stories about his grandfather founding the venue in 1977, the early days of Music Valley, and the artists who helped turn the Palace into a place where real country music has lived for decades. This episode is a mix of business, country music history, entrepreneurship, and the kind of conversations that only happen when you sit down in a real honky tonk.
