SUMMARY:Songs Sung True Rebroadcast: John Hensley
DESCRIPTION:] \nIn this conversation\, John Hensley talks about his youth\, growing up in the legendary Georgia music scene\, his service with Airfield Operations in the US Army\, guitar and songwriting\, and much more. Includes acoustic live performances of songs John has written by himself and in collaboration with others. John enlisted at 17 years of age and at 18\, left for basic training only six days after finishing high school. During his youth\, he was drawn to playing music but never had the opportunity to learn to play an instrument. It wasn’t until someone at his church had found out about this and had given Hensley a guitar before his deployment to Iraq. There\, he went on to teach himself how to play. John worked in Airfield Operations: 12-hour days of moving people through dangerous areas on Blackhawks\, Chinooks\, C130s\, C17s and on other fixed and rotary wing aircraft. It wasn’t unusual to move 150-thousand people in a year. Upon his return\, John attended the local university where he also met his future wife\, Sarah and later took a job with the Gwinnett County Police Department on the DUI Task Force. Hensley’s musical journey took a surprising turn after being accepted to Warrior Song\, a program for veterans administered by Camp Southern Ground. Since that experience\, John has recorded some of his originals with his Liberty Road Band and has worked with Joe West\, a producer out of Nashville to prepare their songs for airplay on radio stations all around the US which can be found on all the popular streaming platforms. \n  \nListen LIVE here
