Eric Hagen returns to Into The Music this week to catch us up on what he's been up to. A lot of that has been writing and recording some of the best country music you'll come across today. Eric's songs are like a musical gut punch and his delivery is always spot on. His studio recordings show not only his songwriting and singing prowess, but his live shows are nothing short of powerful and dynamic. Eric is the winner of the Songwriter of the Year at the 2026 Midwest Country Music Organization Awards and the Wisconsin Area Music Industry's 2026 Country Album of the Year award for Make Country Sad Again. Eric Hagen is the real deal. Listen and find out why.
