Stories, Songs, and Southern Soul: T. Graham Brown Hosts Gene Watson on LIVE WIRE

A Legendary Lineup Returns to the Airwaves

A Month of Music and Memories

There’s nothing quite like hearing a country song sung live — raw, real, and full of heart. That’s exactly what GRAMMY®-nominated, CMA and EMMY Award-winning artist T. Graham Brown delivers in his latest episode of LIVE WIRE on SiriusXM Prime Country Channel 58. The new show, airing throughout November, pairs Brown’s signature charm with the timeless voice of fellow Grand Ole Opry member Gene Watson.

Watson, known for classics like “Farewell Party” and “Love in the Hot Afternoon,” joins Brown for an easygoing conversation that feels like two old friends swapping stories backstage at the Opry. With more than 60 charted singles, Watson’s decades in music have made him one of the genre’s most respected storytellers — and fans get to hear those stories straight from the source.

The Heartbeat of Country, Live and Unfiltered

Every month, LIVE WIRE shines a light on the artists who built country’s backbone — those who keep the spirit alive with guitars, grit, and good humor. This November, listeners will hear performances from T.G. Sheppard, Restless Heart, Johnny Lee, Sheryl Crow, and, of course, Brown himself. Between the songs are the kinds of moments that make country music personal: the laughter, the road tales, the quiet reflections.

“Wow, it’s crazy how fast this year is flying by!” Brown said. “So many of y’all tell me how much you love LIVE WIRE. I’m truly thankful for each and every one of you — tell your neighbors and friends to tune in and spend some fun radio time with me!”

For longtime fans, the show feels like a front-row seat at a classic country concert. For new listeners, it’s a reminder of why these voices still matter — because they’re honest, human, and full of soul.

Forty Years of Telling It Like It Used To Be

This year, Brown is celebrating a milestone of his own — forty years since his breakout hit, “I Tell It Like It Used To Be,” first hit the airwaves. Released in 1985, the song became the title track of his debut Capitol Records album and set the tone for a career defined by sincerity and soul. Decades later, that same authenticity radiates through every episode of LIVE WIRE.

Christmas at the Opry

As if that weren’t enough, Brown is also headed to the small screen this holiday season. He’s part of A Grand Ole Opry Christmas, premiering November 29 at 8/7c on The Hallmark Channel and streaming the next day on Hallmark+. The movie stars Kristoffer Polaha, James Denton, Nikki DeLoach, Sharon Lawrence, and Brad Paisley, alongside familiar Opry faces including Bill Anderson, Megan Moroney, Pam Tillis, Rhett Akins, and more.

Shot on the iconic Opry stage, the film captures the magic of music, friendship, and the joy of Christmas — a perfect blend for fans who know that the holidays just sound better with a little twang.
