Who is Brinley Addington? The singer-songwriter joined us to chat about his journey to country music. Get to know the rising star here…
Brinley Addington
Quick Facts:
Full Name – Brinley Addington
Birthdate – September 6th
Hometown – Kingsport, Tennessee
Current City – Nashville, Tennessee
Musical Influences – Alan Jackson, Garth Brooks, James Taylor
Label – Adding Tone Records
Current Single – “Belle Of The Bar” (as of date of article 6/24/24)
The Beginning:
The unsung heroes of country music are the songwriters. Today’s spotlight artist, Brinley Addington is a true songwriter through and through. While he did the artist thing for several years, his true talent lies in his belief in the song, the story, and the songwriting process. We caught up with Addington to chat all things music and everything in between.
“I’m originally from East Tennessee […] I have been in Nashville for fifteen years, so It definitely feels like home now,” began the singer-songwriter. “I grew up on what I heard in church and traditional sounding country music. Some of my big influences were Alan Jackson, Randy Travis, and even going back to Alabama.”
According to Addington, his love of country music stemmed from 90s country music, but he quickly went back in time, adding artists like Glen Campbell and Conway Twitty to his music collection. At just three years old, Addington recalls his first musical memory. “I’ve always loved country music. I always knew, since I was three years old, when my grandparents brought me to the Grand Ole Opry, that’s where I fell in love with it. I became obsessed with country music,” he shared. “The first memory I ever had was being at the Opry and the curtain coming up and that feeling of “what is this?” There’s something about the music that always spoke to me, just the stories and the songwriting, there’s just so much to it.”
For Addington, country music was always his dream.
The Turning Point:
Flash forward to 2008, the singer-songwriter finally made the quick move to Nashville, Tennessee. “I transferred to Belmont University in Nashville,” he shared. “When I moved to Nashville, it was always my intention to be a performer, be a star as they say, and be the guy out front, and I pushed really hard on that for really about 10 years.”
Early in his career, Addington honed his skills as a songwriter and as a performer, but eventually decided to pull back on the artist side of things. “I gave it all I had, I made all the contacts I had, I was writing songs the whole time, and right around 2018 I kind of took a break. I was feeling kind of burnt out and I backed up and really started working on my songwriting. I kind of stopped touring. I just wanted to be at home a little bit more,” he shared.
“I took a break and started focusing on writing songs. I put a few songs out in 2020 just for fun and because we were all stuck at home. During that time, I really fell in love with songwriting and it started to kind of love me back a little bit. I always loved it and it was always the songs for me that made me love country music, but during the time, it felt like this is finally starting to make sense for me.”
In 2021, Addington earned a big hit with Ryan Hurd and Maren Morris’ song, “Chasing After You.” “It gave me a lot of confidence and peace, and what God has for me moving forward.”
Today:
Flash forward to today, Addington just released his first-ever songwriter-focused project. The 12-song project is called, Nobody’s Favorite, featuring 10 songs written by the singer and two outside cuts. “This is my first ever truly songwriter project. These are songs that I’ve written, ten of the songs that I’ve written that are some of my favorites of all time that I feel like are my stories to tell. The outside cuts sat around and I just loved them in my heart, and couldn’t believe no one recorded these,” shared the singer-songwriter.
Each and every song on the project is as meaningful as they come; however, the tittle track is one of the most special on the project. “It’s a special album and all we put into it, and the album title is special to me. I had that title for years, since I think 2018. I thought of it as this underdog battle cry, I’ll show you, I’m nobody’s favorite, but I’ll show you, and it felt really negative at the time […] I felt misunderstood and discounted, but then I met my fiancé, and it became I was nobody’s favorite, until I was hers, and it made it a lot sweeter for me,” he shared. Adding, “These songs were nobody’s favorite, but mine really, so I was like, ‘ya know, this might be this battle cry for the underdog, but it’s also okay to like what you like, and things that are your favorites, don’t have to be anyone else’s favorite.’”
While putting a pause on his artist career was bittersweet, Addington seems to have found balance in his personal life and his career. You can catch the singer at writer’s rounds, as well as, anticipate more music to come. Until then, make sure you check out Nobody’s Favorite!

Lauren Watkins releases her brand new debut album, The Heartbroken Record, out now, June 2st on all streaming platforms. Listen to the new project here.
With a honeyed vocal tone that evokes a mix of the country greats with today’s modern female superstars, rising singer-songwriter Lauren Watkins is full of promise. The Nashville native’s debut album, The Heartbroken Record, out now, features 17 new tracks that take listeners on a journey.
Each track was co-penned by Watkins, enlisting Music Row heavy-hitters like Nicolle Galyon, Lance Miller, Andy Sheridan, and more, to lend their talents. Collaborators include Ashley Monroe, Sheryl Crow, Carter Faith, and Jake Worthington, each who lend their voices to the Joey Moi-produced debut.
Released via Big Loud Records / Songs & Daughters, the album centers around the universal theme of heartbreak but touches on everything from wallowing to revenge to moving on. “It’s the one thing that connects everybody, because no matter who you are, what your status is or how much money you have, we all feel heartbreak – it makes us the same,” Watkins revealed in a statement. “And I happen to think that as much as it can be sad, it’s a beautiful, necessary part of life.”
For Watkins, much of her debut project reads like an extremely well-written and poignant journal, her voice and style recalling icons like Miranda Lambert, Kacey Musgraces, LeeAnn Womack, and more. “I didn’t want to just put an album out – I wanted it to be purposeful,” she says. “It’s the past several years of my life, and that was just so much heartbreak and dramatic girl-feelings, but I think in a really deep and relatable way… and it just needs to get off my chest.”
Sonically, the album tends to embrace the influences of 90s country and a rootsy twang, with moments of singalon- worthy anthemic empowerment. “I brought all my influences to the table – from Kacey Musgraves and Willie Nelson to Miranda Lambert – and tried to cover every emotion that comes with heartbreak. The good, the bad, and the ugly,” she reveals. “It’s exactly the space in country I thought was missing and wanted to fill. It’s sweet and warm, but also gritty and tough at the same time, and that’s my favorite thing. I love it.”
The album’s opener “Leavers Leave” is an immediate attention-grabber with its mid-tempo 90’s inspired melody that finds her vocals floating over the inevitable facts of life. Likewise, the album’s titular track is equally poignant, as she finds herself spiraling like a broken record after a heartbreak.
While Watkins shines on ballads, she’s also right at home on up-tempo tunes, evidenced on the clever kiss off, “One Trick Pony” and “Sad Songs and You,” which finds her musing that “the only things that ever make me cry are sad songs and you.” The tune is a twangy two-stepper just made for the Opry stage, while the earwormy “Gallatin” bounces along with a summery and endlessly catchy Shanty-esque cadence.
“Mama I Made It” finds her channeling her inner Reba, cleverly turning tongue-in-cheek phrases on the lyrical disaster of her own making, while “Stuck in Her Ways” is a reflective acceptance that she’s not about to change who she is.
“I keep a six pack in the Fridge // And a rocking chair out back // I keep a light on, on the porch // And a key under the mat // I don’t park in that spot where you parked your Chevrolet // I ain’t sitting ‘round hoping you’ll come back someday // I’m just stuck in my ways // Yeah I’m stuck in my ways”
The collabs on the album provide another set of highlights, truly allowing Watkins to experiment with different sounds and styles. On “Set My Heart On Fire,” she joins forces with Sheryl Crow in an attempt to not be swayed by another bad boy. It’s rootsy and guitar-driven, much like much of Crow’s catalog. Likewise, “Pretend You’re Coming Home” finds Watkins trading verses with the ethereal Ashley Monroe, the pair longing for a simpler time when someone was still coming home. “Around five every night, I go back in time,” they sing. “Even though you’re gone, I pretend you’re coming home.”
On “Fly on the Wall,” she harmonizes with Jake Worthington, whose pristine baritone perfectly complements her emotive twang as they deal with the waltzing aftermath of moving on. Carter Faith joins in on “Cowboys on Music Row,” the pair musing over the sad state of today’s cowboys and country singers, longing for the days of the “redheaded stranger” or a “real rodeo man.” It’s a modern take on Paula Cole’s “Where Have All the Cowboys Gone?,” as they lament “Where oh, where oh, where did they go, There ain’t no cowboys on music row.”
On “Settling Things,” Watkins shows shades of Musgraves’ “Merry Go ‘Round,” musing that “we’re all kind of happy, we’re all kind of bored.” Likewise, “Burn the Bridge” has her realizing that some things just can’t be saved and it’s better to move on and move forward. It’s a catchy and lush moment of acceptance.
“Yeah I burned up a backroad // On my way outta town and // I Lit up a cigarette // To put that old flame out // Gonna burn down the bar // Burn some pictures in the yard // ‘Cause it is what it Is // If you can’t mend the fence // Burn the bridge”
Songs like “Anybody But You,” “Shirley Temple,” and “Jealous of Jane,” find her trying, with varying degrees of success, to move on. On “Anybody,” she admits that “the only way to fall out of love is to hate you,” while “Jealous” has her admitting that she “don’t want him back, but I don’t want him to want her.”
The album ends with “Too Much to Dream,” an ethereal showcase of Watkins’ gorgeous twang and brilliant lyricism. Here, she’s still trying to move on, finding an escape in her dreams.
“So if I seem like I’m a ten out of ten // I owe it to a few sheets to the wind // Tucked me in faster than I could cry // I had too much to dream last night // So if I seem like I’m a ten out of ten // I owe it to a few sheets to the wind”
With seventeen tracks centered around the central theme of heartbreak, it would’ve been easy for The Heartbroken Record to come off as same-ish and one dimensional. However, that’s not the case here. Instead, Watkins delivers a multi-faceted and humanized take on broken hearts and the aftermath in a way that shows that healing may not always be linear. It’s truly a work of art that the singer-songwriter should be proud of as she moves into her next chapter, personally and professionally.

Who is Caylee Hammack? The singer-songwriter joined us to chat about her journey to country music. Get to know the rising star here…
Caylee Hammack // Photo Credit: Kirsten Balani
Quick Facts:
Full Name – Caylee Hammack
Hometown – Ellaville, Georgia
Current City – Nashville, Tennessee
Label – Capitol Records Nashville
Current Single – “The Hill” // as of date of article: 6/18/2024
The Beginning:
This week we are re-introudcing you to an artist that we have loved for years, Caylee Hammack. Hammack a true artist in the country music genre in every sense of the word. We chatted with the singer-songwriter about her journey so far, as well as, her brand new music, and everything in between.
“I was raising in South Georgia and I think I was probably 11 or 12 when I saw an info-commercial for the golden classics of country music,” shared Hammack. “As the names were passing and scrolling up the commercial and its playing snippets of a Tammy Wynette song and a little bit of a Johnny Cash song, and Loretta Lynn, and Patsy Kline, I sat there for 15 minutes just watching this commercial, and I wanted to hear more.”
This core memory led to Hammack falling in love with the country music genre, opening up her curiosity around music and its healing powers. “I got curious, so when I found out that Loretta Lynn was playing in Columbus, Georgia, about an hour away from us growing up, I begged my Daddy to go,” she shared. “He went with me, and I remember just seeing her and listening to her story, and it captivated me, and I looked around the room and it captivated everybody. The stories are what everyone loved and the stories behind the songs that they already loved and already knew. I saw magic that day. There is something sacred about the community that could be built around stories and songs, and I sort of became obsessed with it.”
Despite loving country music, Hammack still desired to follow her first dream, to be in the medical field and to attend medical school; however, when she had a sudden medical scare at the age of sixteen, music was there for her. “I started writing songs when I was laying in bed, not able to move around that much after the surgery, and as I’m sitting here, full bent on “I’m going to go to medical school one day and I’m going to become a doctor,”” she shared. “It slowly but surely shifted, […] I just realized that I was better at making words rhyme, and telling stories than having the strength that doctors have. […] I kept doing music and kept connecting, and slowly I realized it made me the happiest.”
The Turning Point:
Hammack spent her teenage years honing her craft, before making the move to Nashville, Tennessee at the age of nineteen.”I was sleeping in my car, got downtown, I used a fake ID to get in the bar, it was Honky Tonk Central. I played with the band and the bass player who was the band manager of all those bars or a couple of those bars down there he had told me to come to Tootsie’s the next day to try out and audition officially.”
The singer got the job and spent two and half years cutting her teeth in Nashville on Broadway. “I played down there, and then I got my publishing deal, I was writing everyday as well. I finally got the connection of my favorite person in the world, Cyndi Forman, my publisher,” shared Hammack.
The songstress continued to write songs, first as a staff-writer, but then in 2017, tragedy struck. “I had a house fire while I was on a writer’s retreat with Tenille Townes, Eric Paslay, and Brothers Osborne and I lost about 60-70% of everything. It was a beautiful blessing though, because I realized in the midst of everything I was losing a lot of material goods, I found out how loved I was and how many people cared for me and helped me go through that.”
Through this experience and the support of others, Hammack felt ready to release her own music, and subsequently, landed a record deal with Capitol Records Nashville. “It’s just kind of been a wild journey ever since. After that, we go to release the first album and we had to release it during 2020, which was kind of odd. It was very solitary. […] I was eager to get the music out, and I thought that music would be appreciated and a comforting thing during a hard time for all of us, but having to sit at home and wondering if people were connecting, almost drove me crazy,” she shared. Expressing the mixed emotions that came with the time.
Regardless, music continued to be magic in Hammack’s life. “Getting to write music, it’s been a very beautiful outlet for me. It’s bewildering to me sometimes that people can connect to it to the point where I can actually make a living out of it. I’m so grateful that people connect to these songs because it heals me to share it with them.”
Today:
Flash forward to today, Hammack has entered a new music era. Kicking it off with a brand new song called, “The Hill.” “The song is about hand-holding the last straw that is about to break the camel’s back, and trying your best to keep the straw in the hand. It’s a white-flag in the middle of a battle, so that you don’t lose the war and you don’t lose the battle, the love in the middle of the war. I just felt as if a lot of people have been in that situation and that people could connect to it,” shared Hammack.
The single was written over Zoom with Tenille Townes and Logan Wall. “We made a demo, and it kind of stayed in the catalog for a bit, but it kept coming up. […] It was really cool as I was creating this record and kind of basing it off the trials and tribulations of trying to find love and finding love within yourself and others along the way, it kind of just became this heart-centered album, and I feel like “The Hill” is one of the more vulnerable, passionate songs on the record.”
Hammack’s new song speaks to her talent as both a singer and as a songwriter, as well as, a lover of music. “It felt very pivotal to have it as the first song off this album because it has a more organic nature to it that feels sincerely me, and it also has a little bit of a Celtic influence based off of some of the UK touring that I experienced,” she shared. Adding, “It’s just an appreciation for different types of music that I’ve been kind of immersed in.”
“The Hill” is the first song off Hammack’s new album that is slated for release sometime in 2025. “Until then, we’re going to roll out song after song and immerse people in the sonic playground that this album is going to be. When it does come, it’ll be like a garden in full bloom after planting the seeds this year.”

“Touch tune some old deep cut Cheap Trick // Got your girl singin’ every word of it // So you bring a couple shots of chilled Patrón // To the prettiest thing that you ever hit on // And somehow she ain’t got a boyfriend // So you make her laugh all night and then // Take her home, fall in love // Thank the good Lord up above // That he sent one down into your arms // And put a chain around your raise-hell heart”
Congrats to Kenny Chesney and his team on continuing to dominate country radio! We can’t wait to see what comes next for the singer!
