Colin Stough recently stopped by the MusicRow office to share some stories and songs with the team.

Stough performed his radio single “White Trash,” a track he wrote alongside Jamie Collazo and Kenny Whitmire. The song finds Stough leaning into the scars that make him. He joked about his decision to feature a rooster in the track’s music video. Additionally, he played “Best For You” and “Sober.”

Stough also shared the story of buying his first guitar at eight years old from a local pawn shop after scraping together enough money. That guitar is the one he still takes on the road now.

The 19 Recordings / BMG Nashville artist first caught attention while on season 21 of American Idol, an opportunity he took after working full-time as an HVAC tech after high school.

Stough has released two EPs, Promiseland and Lookin’ For Home, and toured with the like of Chase Matthew, Drake White and others. He will head to Omaha, Nebraska on Dec. 5, with more dates to be announced later.
