#27: All backroads lead to Appalachia (with David Morris)
David Morris is an American singer-songwriter from Charleston, WV. David talks with Chuck and Big John about how his roots in Appalachia have influenced his music and who he is as a person. You may know him from when he put music out under the name D-WHY, from the music he's making in the present day, or maybe this is your first time listening to him. Regardless - we know you'll appreciate his passion for his small town roots, range of musical talent, dedication to his fans, and introspection on growing up in Appalachia.
