Country artist and songwriter Styles Haury joins Bar Conversations to talk about his upcoming 5 TO 9 EP, out May 15, and the journey that took him from blue-collar roots to Nashville success.

Raised between Northeast Ohio and North Carolina, Styles shares how family, faith and a strong work ethic shaped his path—from working as a union pipefitter to chasing music full-time, backed by the unforgettable sacrifice of his dad selling his Corvette to help fund the dream. He also reflects on his rise as a songwriter, including landing a No. 1 hit with Luke Bryan’s “Country On,” and how those moments helped define his career.

Styles also dives into the making of the 5 TO 9 EP, a project rooted in real life, fatherhood, and the grind between work and chasing purpose. He talks about collaborating with top producers Phil O’Donnell and Chris DeStefano, the meaning behind songs like Boxes and Broke Down In My Truck, and how becoming a dad reshaped his songwriting. Plus, he reflects on making his debut at the Grand Ole Opry, sharing the stage with artists like Dwight Yoakam, Darius Rucker, and Brantley Gilbert, and what fans can expect next in 2026.
