Joe Hermes (2nd Interview)

Joe Hermes is heading to the UK! In this massive episode of Chatterbox Redux, Sue and Nick sit down with the man redefining the country-rock landscape: Joe Hermes.

Fresh from the announcement that he has been hand-selected to open for BoyzLife (Keith Duffy of Boyzone & Brian McFadden of Westlife) on their 2026 UK & Ireland Tour, Joe shares the incredible story of how a "Gunpowder Country" artist from America’s heartland landed a spot with pop royalty.

We go behind the scenes of the tour prep, the grit behind his hit single "That Country High," and the "battle-tested" resilience that took him from the football field to international stages. Whether you’re a die-hard Westlife/Boyzone fan or a lover of raw, American country-rock, this is the crossover event of the year.

Here Joe chats about his new single and the tour itself which was underway at the time of recording and uploading.
