For four decades, today’s guest has been a steadfast ambassador for traditional country music, keeping the spirit of legends like Merle Haggard, George Strait, Alan Jackson, and Waylon Jennings alive. Hailing from Southwest Ohio he doesn’t just sing about country life, he lives it, as the proud owner of Keepin' It Country Farm alongside his wife, Donna, he understands the value of hard work and the deep connection to the land.

Beyond music, my guest has also co-founded the Love Tattoo Foundation, a nonprofit dedicated to supporting veterans and their families. His devotion to God, family, and service runs deep, and these core values resonate throughout his music, which speaks directly to the hearts of hardworking Americans.

It’s an honor to welcome my new friends, Richard and Donna Lynch. They are Someone You Should Know.
