Meet The Host

Michael Ray is a platinum-selling country artist with four #1 hits, more than 2 billion streams, and over 12 million records sold. But beyond the stage, he’s a storyteller shaped by small-town roots, family values, the outdoors, and a deep connection to the communities that have supported him throughout his career.

A national touring artist with a loyal, highly engaged fanbase, Michael has spent more than a decade in the spotlight while staying grounded in the things that matter most: faith, family, country, and giving back. His love of hunting, fishing, sports, and rural American life gives him a unique perspective that resonates far beyond music.

On Offstage America, Michael opens up in a way fans haven’t seen before bringing real honesty, humor, and heart to every conversation. Whether he’s sitting down with fellow artists, athletes, veterans, or everyday Americans, Michael brings the same authenticity that made his music a success and turns it into a powerful, human connection with the audience.

Offstage America is where country music, real-life storytelling, and authentic American culture collide. Hosted by platinum-selling country artist Michael Ray, the show pulls back the curtain and brings audiences into the conversations that happen after the lights fade — the ones shaped by faith, family, the outdoors, resilience, and the people who keep this country moving.
