Offstage America
Offstage America is Michael Ray like you’ve never heard him before.
No stage lights. No script.
This show lives where real life happens, on the road, on the porch, in the woods, at the table. Michael sits down for honest conversations about the things that actually matter: family, faith, the outdoors, sports, music, mental health, giving back, and what it means to build a life you’re proud of.
Guests range from fellow artists, athletes, celebrities and veterans to everyday Americans with real stories worth hearing. Some you’ll recognize instantly. Others you’ll be glad you met here first.
Michael brings a rare perspective from someone who’s toured nationally, topped charts, lived the highs of success, and still stayed rooted in who he is and where he comes from. That makes the conversations relaxed, unfiltered, and real. The kind of conversations that don’t happen on stage or in interviews.
Offstage America isn’t about hype. It’s about real people. It’s about life off the stage and the stories that shape us when no one’s watching.

Offstage With Drew Baldridge
Use Left/Right to seek, Home/End to jump to start or end. Hold shift to jump forward or backward.
Drew Baldridge came up in the music industry the hard way.
Michael & Paul sit down with Drew and talk about the early grind. Tour vans, playing anywhere that would have him and what happened when Drew lost his record deal right before the world shut down.
Instead of quitting, he started playing graduations during COVID, then built a backyard tour by DM’ing fans, cold-calling schools, and routing shows himself. Hundreds of backyards later, he had rebuilt his fanbase from the ground up.
Drew also tells the real story behind She’s Somebody’s Daughter — how it went viral, still got turned down by Nashville, and why he decided to hire his own radio team and push the song independently, eventually taking it to #1.
They get into the pressure of betting on yourself, starting a family while everything’s uncertain, and what it actually takes to keep going when there’s no safety net.
Just a real conversation about not quitting everyone needs to hear.
