Cody Johnson’s music makes an impact far beyond the Country music charts. Always one to record songs he believes in, connects with and hopes will inspire, Johnson’s fans have confirmed he’s doing just that by expressing how his music has impacted — and even saved — their lives.
During a recent chat with Audacy’s Scotty Kay from US99, Johnson shared a story he heard from a fan in Australia who literally owed her life to one of his songs. “I had a lady in Australia [who] came to a meet and greet and she said, ‘the night that I was going to take my own life… I heard, ‘Human,’ and I decided not to,” he shared. “I stood there with her and I cried and I thought, ‘Who cares about a #1 or a Platinum record? That’s real. That’s real music that went across the ocean and touched somebody.”
While many of the life-chasing stories he hears are surrounding his life-affirming songs like “Human,” and “’Til You Can’t,” there’s also a number of love stories he’s touched. Later in their chat, Scotty Kay introduced Johnson to DJ Dom Nagella, who was approached by a bi-racial couple to help them turn Johnson’s song, "On My Way To You" into a cross-genre track for their wedding.
“She was born and raised in Texas and he’s Puerto Rican, so they wanted ‘On My Way To You,’ with Marc Anthony,” Nagella explained before playing him the track. Johnson was all smiles listening to the mix. “I love Marc Anthony! That is freakin’ cool, man! This is great.”
He continued, “Puerto Rican is a little bit different than the Tejano Mexican culture that we have in Texas, and I’m so deeply rooted in that… That means a lot, that’s really cool... Hey, maybe I’ll make a Tejano album,” he laughed.
Beaming with pride, Johnson reiterated, “It’s not about getting #1 hits, it’s not about getting Platinum records, it’s not about getting awards, it’s about making music that actually touches people — I say that from my whole heart, this is not an act.”
If you're having suicidal thoughts, call the National Suicide Prevention at 988 to talk to a skilled, trained counselor at a crisis center in your area at any time. Audacy's I’m Listening initiative aims to encourage those who are dealing with mental health issues to understand they are not alone. Find a full list of additional resources here.

Title: Triumph Over Adversity: Inspiring Journeys of Resilience
Description:
In the latest heartwarming episode of Scotty Kay - The Most Fun Afternoons, we delve into the powerful narratives of individuals who have faced life's most challenging moments and emerged stronger than ever. Join us for an emotional round of "How Do You Like Me Now?" where our guests share their incredible stories of resilience and hope.
First, we hear from Becca, a dedicated teacher who overcame the profound grief of losing her father during her student teaching. She shares how she picked up the pieces to not only fulfill her own dreams but to honor her father's dreams for her as well. Becca's journey is a testament to the strength of the human spirit in the face of loss.
Next, Samantha from Evergreen Park opens up about her escape from an abusive relationship that cost her job and nearly broke her spirit. Her story is one of courage and transformation, culminating in finding true love and approaching a significant milestone in her career. Samantha's experience is a beacon of light for anyone who feels trapped in a cycle of abuse, showing that there is a way out and a brighter future ahead.
This episode is a tribute to the power of sharing and the importance of vulnerability. Through these conversations, we hope to inspire and uplift those who may be struggling, reminding them that they are not alone and that overcoming adversity is possible.
Tune in for an episode filled with tears, triumphs, and the kind of stories that remind us all of the indomitable nature of hope. How do you like us now? We hope you'll join us to find out.

Less than a week after we saw him at the Riv, Russell checked back in about Thanksgiving (already!), buying a condo in the city, his new AfterParty Deluxe project + he said two words he's never said before in any interview! Super fun >>>
Super fun to catch up with Chris Lane! He called this morning to chat Halloween costumes & plans tonight, whether or not 1st birthday parties for his son are about the kids or the adults, why he's so excited about his new EP, and the music he's been wormholing lately that just popped on his radar!

For Drew’s Brews today, we’re highlighting a brewery we found at Ravinia last weekend. Jill & I did date night for Stevie Nicks, she was amazing, and my pal Frank E Lee from 93XRT was on the Ravinia rooftop doing a broadcast.
Wouldn’t ya know it, they were doing beer tastings up there too! We found two of the friendliest guys we’ve met, tasted the beer, bought some for the picnic spread, and it was a great addition to the night.
Today we’re talking about Funkytown Brewery … based out of Pilot Project Brewing in Logan Square >>>

For Drew’s Brews, we’re taking another road trip. Last week, we went around the lake to southwest Michigan. Today, we head to central Illinois, a short 90 minutes south to an incredible brewery on a bike path that makes amazing beer.
Last Sunday, Jill and I and the kids headed to Bloomington to visit Grandpa Roy. 100 years old, wow, right?
Before we came home, we pulled into a parking lot with no spaces left, more than 20 bikes at the bike rack, and got to enjoy some really taste pours. Today, we’re talking about Keg Grove Brewing Company in Bloomington >>>
For Drew’s Brews today on US*99, on a holiday weekend, I thought we could love on a brewery that’s just outside Chicagoland, but an easy quick trip there and back.
A few weeks ago, Jill & I spent time with family in a town called Saugatuck in Michigan, just around the lake ~ only about an hour past Michigan and such a beautiful small town. Views of the water were incredible, the beaches were white, clean sand and we found a brewery unlike any other we’ve ever visit.
Today, we’re loving on Guardian Brewing Company in Saugatuck >>>

@ScottyKonair
For Drew’s Brews today, we’re re-visiting one of the very first brewers we ever highlighted early last year ... they’ve got a new brew out today that is something they’ve never done before, and it’s a twist because it’s all about the dark beans!
Brewing the dark beans, talking about coffee today – loving on our friends at Gigiwatt Coffee Roasters >>>
For Drew’s Brews today, we get to highlight a bunch of breweries across Chicagoland plus one very happy anniversary for Oak Park.
On top of that, you have the chance to make a difference with climate change by supporting environmental advocacy.
Today, we’re talking about the 15th annual Oak Park Microbrew Review happening tomorrow afternoon in downtown Oak Park >>>
Before he comes to town on Friday night, Jason Aldean called Drew to catch up on life back on the road (and how it feels, even compared to last summer), his guilty pleasure that he hadn't given much thought to before, old cars & much more >>>
We climbed aboard Miranda Lambert's bus at the Windy City Smokeout to talk animals, finding balance, music and more.
For Drew’s Brews today on US*99, I visited the brewery on Tuesday for the first time, because they just opened last Friday!
Opening weekend was so successful that they had to close their kitchen on Sunday because the community had sold them out of everything by Saturday night and they had to re-stock (!).
Today, we’re talking about Flipside Brewing in Tinley Park. Owned by head brewmaster Erik, the name lends itself to his story >>>
For Drew's Brews today, we rewind to find one of our favorites in a brand-new location and growing every month.
Created by Kendall & his wife Aisha as a community space to enjoy an amazingly refreshing blend of African coffees, a great introduction to flavors that lend themselves to a lighter, brighter cup ... today we're featuring Afro Joe's Coffee & Tea in Beverly!
For Drew’s Brews today on US*99, we’re loving on a brewery that has expanded during the pandemic, with a focus on their staple beers as well as expanding into a distillery business with custom cocktails that are super creative.
Originally in Lemont, now also in Roselle and St Charles with their spirits, today we’re featuring Pollyanna Brewing & Distilling >>>
How do you know a cat is an outside cat? What dip can you eat with just a spoon? Should a fruit sald be called a salad?
For Drew's Brews today, we head south to the Dixie Highway Brewery Trail ... to a spot on Olde Western Ave where you can set up your chairs in the parking lot & sip beer while you listen to live music during the summer!
In addition to their beer and house-made soda menus, they just released their first line of draft cocktails! Today, we're loving on Blue Island Beer Company in Blue Island >>>
For Drew’s Brews today, I wanted to revisit a place that was just getting ready to celebrate their 5th anniversary last year and then their world turned upside down.
Emily and Paul, wife and husband, plus her brother John ... Mom helps out too. It’s the full family. Two days after we chatted about them last June on #DrewsBrews, a tornado ripped through Woodridge and decimated their taproom and production facility. A year later, they are back and better than ever.
Today, we’re loving on Skeleton Key Brewery >>>
For #DrewsBrews today, I wanted to highlight a brewery whom I’ve loved their beers for a long time, but I've never made the trip to their taproom before. Do you have one of those places in your life too?
FA trip to see my brother-in-law in Evanston sparked a conversation where he said, “Hey, have you been to their new space in Skokie? It is incredible. You should stop on your way home." And that’s what I did.
Today we’re featuring Sketchbook Brewing Company in Skokie >>>
For Drew's Brews today, it’s another first ...
A brewery incubator, tasting room & café, created as a collaborative and artistically curious space to help support talented brewers in this incredible industry with exceptionally high barriers, they serve as a launch pad for start-up breweries, offering assistance with fine-tuning recipes, production, business development, marketing, distribution and more.
Today we highlight Pilot Project Brewing in Logan Square >>>
For #DrewsBrews today, we visit a brewery where beer is their muse, it’s how they choose to express themselves.
Their essence? They’ve got it all. Whether it’s changing careers, naming their brewery after a seemingly incongruous approach to beer, or donating 100% of every Trikonasana yoga class to a different local nonprofit each month, they like doing things differently.
Today we're excited to highlight Temperance Beer Company in Evanston >>>
Brett Eldredge caught up with Scotty and picked 3 Songs off his new album 'Songs About You' that define him as a person and artist
Brett tells us what Chicago sports star he wants to perform with Brett talks about why the first thing anyone heard from his new album was about Chicago and talk about writing Songs About You What 3 songs from this album define him as a person and artist.
For Drew's Brews today, I’m excited to highlight a brewery that describes themselves as beer, tacos, and a little bit of love. Don’t all three of those things sound amazing? They do to me!
Created in 2016 in Highland Park, expanding into a Logan Square production facility and taproom in 2019, today we’re loving on Ravinia Brewing Company in Highland Park & Logan Square >>>
For Drew's Brews today, I’m a huge fan of walking into a space for the first time and you have a feeling of welcome. Small taproom, a few seats at the bar, and it just feels like a place you could be in, at any time.
They describe themselves as a small, local brewery. They brew lots of different styles and try to make the best version of whatever beer they can. Some call them a hidden gem, some call them a hole in the wall. One guy told them they remind him of drinking in his friend’s garage. Whatever you say, they just want you to feel welcome and enjoy yourself.
Today, we're celebrating D and G Brewing in St. Charles >>>
For Drew's Brews today, it’s another first … but more on that in a moment.
We’ve visited breweries with history as their basis. Culture. A certain type of brewing style. Today, it’s all about the music, on the walls, in your ears, in the zen of the taproom ~ Soundgrowler Brewing Company in Tinley Park.
They have a wide range of beers to choose from, and if you visit on Friday or Saturday nights, you can enjoy even rarer beers in their Barrel Room. Take a listen and learn all about their vibe >>>
For #DrewsBrews today, it’s another first … we’re highlighting a brand-new brewery that opens TODAY (the ribbon cutting is at 3pm this afternoon)!
Today, we’re talking about Hop District Community Brewing Company in La Grange Park. Why the name Hop District? How are these beer names soooo Chicago? Learn all the goodness when you listen here >>>
This week, we're not just talking about one brewery. How about over a hundred of 'em?
Today marks the beginning of Illinois Craft Beer Week, and there are so many cool events happening for YOU ... kicking off with the #BeerUnderGlass fundraiser at the Great Hall inside Union Station tonight! Take a listen >>>
Today’s brewery popped up on a Google search, it was my first time there, and it was amazing! In the middle of nowhere, one road in and out, a bunch of industrial warehouses, empty on a Sunday afternoon, and then I turn the corner and the parking lot is jam packed.
Growth through curiosity. Innovation through exploration Believe in Beer.
Today we're talking about Brothership Brewing in Mokena >>>
Hard to believe it’s been almost a year of highlighting our favorite breweries across Chicagoland with Drew's Brews, but that’s how fast time has been flyin’ … so for this week, we head back to revisit the very first brewery we featured … Buckledown Brewing in Lyons!
Another wife & husband owner team. Michelle & Ike. Their focus? Well, Ike is a huge fan of classic beer styles, so they feature a lot on tap, from hoppy IPAs to clean-drinking lagers, with an emphasis on consistently flavorful beers brewed with dedication and skill.
What did they add in the pandemic? Why is this weekend so special? Take a listen >>>
Located in an old industrial building that was used for dairy production way back when, we find a brewery with another "first" from all of our visits ... today, we're celebrating Sew Hop'd Brewery & Taproom in Huntley!

Take a listen to find out >>>
Built on a history where hard-working, prideful people could enjoy a sip of great beer and have good conversation, today we're featuring Whiskey Hill BrewingCo in Westmont!
It's one of the coolest, most intimate garage door breweries I've ever been to. Nestled in a park of numerous auto body shops, it's a hidden treasure with big, flavorful beers and a few surprises too >>>
Nested between Wheaton & Lombard, we ventured to the village of Glen Ellyn this week to visit the folks at Two Hound Red Brewery!
Inside a completely-rehabbed building that housed Glen Ellyn's downtown pharmacy for 44 years, the history and the beer and the menu center around creating classic, innovative beers paired with classic, inventive American dishes. Take a listen >>>
Right on the border of Ukrainian Village, West Town, and East Village, we find today's featured brewery >>> Forbidden Root!
All about the roots and the herbs and the spices, they are Chicago's first botanic brewery and the pairings of flavors between food & beer are spectacularly delicious. My favorite? A tart golden ale with raspberry and lemon! Take a listen >>>
Remember our friends at Skeleton Key in Woodridge with their Spare Keys incubator program, teaching you how to open & run your own brewery?
One of their first graduates opened in late 2021 and they're already killing it ... today we're talking about Bubblehouse Brewing in Lisle! 12 beers on tap, a Noir Wall collab with SK, The 10 Second Hug (my favorite beer name of the year), why Evan behind the bar made my entire weekend & much more >>>
Celebrating Black History Month, today we featured one of the coolest coffeehouses we have ever visited ~ Afro Joe's on the south side, in the Auburn Gresham neighborhood!

Take a listen >>>

February is Black History Month, and today's featured Black-owned brewer does it with a twist ... they brew coffee!
