In this heartfelt Ranch Sitdown, Shane Hollinger catches up with singer-songwriter and Texas cowboy Garrett Bradford, who opens up about his journey from ranch life in Weatherford to a spotlight moment on Yellowstone.

Garrett shares the surreal story behind his hit song “This Way of Life,” written at Taylor Sheridan’s request and featured on Season 3 of the hit show. He reflects on his songwriting roots, the ups and downs of Nashville, the impact of real cowboy living, and how his dad got to witness one of his biggest musical milestones.

Garrett also performs two soul-stirring songs — This Way of Life and Firefly — blending tradition, grit, and vulnerability in a way only he can.

This episode is a powerful reminder that country music is still alive and kicking, and so is the cowboy way of life.
