#CMAFest24: Ryan Larkins speaks on writing Cody Johnson’s “The Painter” and fatherhood

The 51st annual CMA Festival is currently underway in downtown Nashville!

From Thursday to Sunday, roughly 90,000 country music fans hit Broadway to see all their favorite artists and future up-and-comers.

We were able to catch up with hit songwriter, country music newcomer, and our buddy Ryaln Larkins!
He released his debut EP last year and has written for artists such as Cody Johnson and Tim McGraw.

Ryan spoke with us about finding his authentic sound, the success of “The Painter,” and how being a father has impacted him!
