Dave Roush is the real deal—a retired rodeo cowboy whose journey from the rodeo arena to the radio airwaves has been driven by heart, grit, and a lifelong love of country music.

He is the host of two internationally -followed programs: The Dave Roush Show, where he interviews independent artists and industry legends, and The Cruisin’ Country Top 40 Countdown, where he highlights the hottest new tracks in independent country. Dave’s voice is trusted, his ear is sharp, and his heart stays rooted in the traditions of the genre.

When he’s not spinning tracks, Dave is front and center as the lead singer and founder of Detour Ahead, a band that blends classic country storytelling with a modern edge.
