Cary Barlowe has made a name for himself in the past decade as one of Nashville’s most successful and diverse country writers, with hits by Dustin Lynch, Florida Georgia Line and others. SESAC’s 2015 Country Songwriter of the Year, Barlowe is a co-writer of the new Chris Young single “Famous Friends,” which went to No. 1 this summer on the country charts. He has written four other No. 1 country songs including “American Honey” for Lady A, “Where It’s At” for Dustin Lynch, “Sun Daze” for Florida Georgia Line and “It Don’t Hurt Like It Used To” for Billy Currington.
