New artists frequently visit the GAC offices to play us their music and tell us a little bit about themselves. When Troy Olsen stopped by, he kept GAC staffers entertained with his debut single, “Summer Thing” – plus lots of stories about growing up in Arizona, from being a true working cowboy to illustrating his life’s adventures through “tattooing” his guitar. We asked Troy to share these stories with you, too, in a web series called “Livin’ The Dream With Troy Olsen.” Troy has been sharing his journey with us for 2 months.
