For over a decade, Michael Lisenby wore the badge and protected his community. Today, he’s using his voice and a guitar to keep standing for the values he swore to uphold—just in a different uniform.
The independent country artist from Nashville recently released "Where You Gonna Go."
Michael Lisenby is part of a growing wave of artists walking away from the industry’s echo chamber and bringing real stories back to country music. Like many from the Baste Records crowd and the broader conservative music movement in Nashville and beyond, he’s not afraid to sing about faith, freedom, and hard truths. His songs are raw, rooted in personal experience, and aimed at lifting up those who’ve been silenced or forgotten.
After 15 years in law enforcement, Lisenby left behind a life on the frontlines—but not the people he served. His mission today is to give voice to the men and women with stories that often go unheard. GGe’s still serving—just in a new way.
As the culture war heats up and artists are forced to choose a side, Michael Lisenby is stepping forward with grit, humility, and heart. Follow his journey. Country music needs voices like his more than ever.
