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.

Country artist Filmore sits down with Michael & Paul on this episode of Offstage America for a conversation that goes deeper than the highlight reel people usually see.
Filmore talks about the road that led to his upcoming album Atypical, what went into writing and producing the project, and why this record feels like a reset for him creatively. He gets into the reality of the music business the grind, the pressure, and the parts of the industry fans rarely see when the cameras are off.
They also talk about Filmore’s collaboration with Mr Worldwide, Pitbull, how that relationship started, and what it was like performing “Yeehaw” together on New Year’s Eve on national TV.
Offstage, life is changing too. Filmore shares what it’s been like preparing to welcome his second child, a baby girl, and how becoming a dad shifts the way he looks at the career, the road, and the future.
Along the way they swap stories about Nashville, songwriting, the early grind of building a fanbase, and why staying true to who you are matters more than ever in today’s version of the music industry.
Filmore’s new album Atypical dropped February 20, 2026 and is available NOW everywhere you listen to music. Including Spotify, Apple Music, and all major streaming platforms.
