Inspired by musicians like Kris Kristofferson, Willie Nelson and Bruce Springsteen, he has experience supporting Luke Combs and Jason Isbell. Godwin's third album Family Ties is set for release on September 22, and his upcoming EP Lonely Mountain Town drops in two days.

“I had to get back to the basics,” he said. “I decided I was going to write about my life and my family. It’s where my heart was guiding me: to be super personal and dig right into the weeds of my life.”

Godwin has made a point to build his following through playing live shows. After the COVID-19 restrictions lifted, he reported performing “everywhere all the time, every week.”

“There’s a lot more people at my shows and they’re a lot more excited than ever before,” Godwin said. “I don’t feel like a fish out of water anymore. I had fun when it was just 100 people back in 2021. Now that it’s 10 or 20 times that, it’s just even better.”
