GAC’s Backstory: Joe Nichols Premieres Saturday, May 12 at 11PM ET!
Joe’s journey from childhood to fatherhood was anything but idyllic and for the first time he shares his story with GAC. Backstory: Joe Nichols
premieres Saturday, May 12, 11:00PM ET on Great American Country (GAC).
Nichols recalls his parents’ nasty divorce, physical abuse from his
father and a love affair with whiskey that he says started at around age
13. When he could, he’d shut himself in his bedroom, listening over and
over again to a Merle Haggard record, mimicking the country music icon
until he was hoarse.

Joe admits to enjoying life one day at a time. “I live free now,” he
says. “I don’t live perfectly, I don’t claim that. That’s a mistake
because I can’t promise anything past today.” Joe’s brother, wife,
manager, producer, therapist, and friend are some of those interviewed
for the special.
