Quick Facts:

Full Name – Dylan Conrique
Birthdate – 04/13/2004
Hometown – Loomis, California
Current City – Nashville, Tennessee
Musical Influences – Ella Langley, Joshua Slone, Hannah McFarland
Current Single – “Polaroid” (as of date of article: 04/06/2026)

The Beginning:

Today’s spotlight artist is a star in the making. Dylan Conrique has been on the music and the acting scene, since she was a young girl. Now, in her early 20s, Conrique is making the best music of her life, as well as, the most honest music she has ever released. We chatted with the singer-songwriter about her upbringing, her move to Nashville, and of course, everything she has coming soon.

“I was born in the Bay Area, but I grew up in Northern, California. I listened to country music on the radio getting dropped off at school every single day. Country music has always been something that I listened to all the time,” began Conrique.

At an early age, the singer was mesmerized by artists like Carrie Underwood, Rascal Flatts, and Jason Aldean. She recalls listening to it every single day going to school, and finding some early inspiration in the story-telling aspect of the country genre. “My mom used to own a horse stable in the Bay Area, so I have country roots, and my parents are in Texas now, and me and my brother live in Tennessee, so a lot has changed, but we went back to our roots with that.”

The Turning Point:

At around eleven years old, her family recognized her natural talent, and they picked up and moved to Los Angeles, California. “We moved to Los Angeles for music and acting, but the acting kind of took over because who was doing music when they were eleven year old touring, so I got signed to a label when I was fifteen, but I wasn’t sure what kind of music I wanted to make, but naturally I was writing Pop music because everyone in LA thrives on Pop music.”

Conrique found a ton of success in the acting sphere, but was starting to feel disconnected from her music, despite signing a deal at just fifteen years old. “Then I hit this wall at some point in 2023 I would say, where I felt like the music I was making wasn’t really true to myself. I felt like my ballad were starting to lean a little more country and I started to write some more stuff that was from the heart. My writing was just changing.”

The songstress started taking trips to Nashville in 2024 and writing with songwriters there. “I started writing country music, and I was immediately obsessed with it. I knew it was authentic and real to me because I wasn’t getting sick of the songs and I was enjoying performing them at well. It just came easy to me,” she shared, adding, “I make heartbreak country. […] I’m great at writing break-up songs and sad songs. One of my biggest influences right now is Ella Langley.”

After being in LA for a long time, Conrique moved back to the Bay Area temporarily before making the big moves to Nashville. “I moved back home after being in LA for a long time. I had lived there on my own for a couple of months, but it wasn’t really working for me anymore. […] I had already taken a couple of trips to Nashville, and done weeks of writing, so I felt like there was a sign for me to do something. It was a big move. I never thought I would leave California, but I love living in Nashville now.”

Today:

Flash forward to today, Conrique has set her sights on a career in country music, where she can be herself and share her true stories. “When I went to Nashville, I finally found my sound,” she shared.

Despite loving her journey now, the singer has had some trials and tribulations, since moving to town to start over in her career. The mixed feelings about her journey had led the singer to create some of her most honest and vulnerable music to date, including her latest single, “Polaroid.”

“I was about four months into living [in Nashville], and I feel like I hit a reality check. It was a little humbling driving around the city seeing billboards of people putting out albums. I was feeling a lot of emotions about starting over in the industry. It felt like Nashville is a ten year town, and it was weird because I had put so many years into LA, but those don’t count in Nashville. It was a bit humbling, reality check,” she shared.

The experience led her to feeling emotions she didn’t know she would feel. It was a glass-half empty experience for the singer. “Because it was so inspiring, but humbling, it made me so sad that I was starting over, and I hated that feeling. I was being negative about it, and before my session, I was balling my eyes out, and I was on the phone with someone just venting to them. […] I was in a state trying to figure it out. It was a lot, so I went into the session, and it was kinda obvious that I was crying, and Nicole was like, well, “it’s kind of like a polaroid. When you take a picture, it’s not clear until it’s developed.” And after she said that, it kinda all made sense.”

Her single, “Polaroid” was born out of this experience. “I kinda wrote it for myself, but I also wrote it for anyone else who’s starting over, and feeling like they are not on the right path.”

This is just the start for Conrique, who already has more music and live performances coming down the pipeline soon. Stay tuned, and make sure to jump on the bandwagon — she’s one to look out for!

Who Is Mary Kutter? The Story Behind Her Journey to Country Music

Who is Mary Kutter? The singer-songwriter joined us to chat about her journey to country music. Get to know the rising star here…

Quick Facts:

Full Name – Mary Kutter
Birthdate – February 5th
Hometown – Springfield, Kentucky
Current City – Nashville, Tennessee
Musical Influences – Faith Hill and Dolly Parton, as well as the storytelling of Elvis Presley
Label – BBR Music Group/BMG Nashville
Current Single – “Bed of Roses” (as of date of article: 03/30/2026)

The Beginning:

There’s few things we love more than championing badass, powerful women in country music. Today’s spotlight artist fits that description perfectly. We chatted with BBR Music Group/BMG Nashville recording artist, Mary Kutter about her journey to music, her upbringing, and of course, new music. Keep reading to learn about her dynamic story.

“I grew up in central, Kentucky, literally where all the bourbon is made,” began Kutter. “I grew up a normal kiddo. Now, my mom, whenever I was six years old, she decided it would be really good for my brother and me to take piano lessons, and there was this lady Ms. Janine, who lived probably about ten minutes away from our farm, and she started giving us weekly piano lessons.”

The songstress credits her piano teacher, Ms. Janine for discovering that she could actually sing. She recalls playing with the teacher’s kittens one day and singing to them in front of her teacher. “I would sing to the kittens, and Ms. Janine was like “this girl could sing.” […] Every week I would go in and do my little piano lesson, and she would sing with me too.” Her first performance ended up being at her piano concert, where she performed a Mozart piece and then surprised the audience with her vocal rendition of the song, “Moon River.”

From then on, Kutter continued to cultivate a love of music, finding inspiration in story-telling, writing, and even classic rock music. “I do love story-telling songs. I love Reba, she has range for days, but she knows how to tell a story. I feel like Dolly Parton is the same way, but as a little girl, my daddy and I would drive thirty minutes each way to go to the grocery store, and he would crank up his favorite music, which was classic rock. […] We were listening to AC/DC, The Who, Alice Cooper, and I think that’s how I caught the bug a little bit.”

The Turning Point:

Kutter’s journey to country music happened organically and over time. While she was playing shows near her hometown and the surrounding areas, she still didn’t quite know much about the music industry or Nashville. “I never knew how to do it in a career space, but there was this fella that owned a couple of radio stations outside of Louisville, Kentucky, and we had met, when I was singing at an event that his radio station was hosting. […] Well, he wanted to have a live music variety show and he wanted me to host it, and that ended up being kinda my segway to Nashville,” shared the songstress, adding, “I didn’t have any experience doing any of that stuff, but I started hosting that show, and we had three or four guests every week, and I ended up starting to write with some of those folks in Nashville. […] I don’t think I understood how the business worked at all, but that’s how I got to, and I started writing some songs that opened up the door for me to the music world.”

For Kutter finding her place in the industry was a process; however, she knew that she always found herself in writing “Writing was an outlet for me. […] I always loved writing stories and poems and songs. I know I’m not the only person who feels this way, but sometimes we’re able to express ourselves better through music. It’s interesting that whenever I started writing for different artists that different songwriters are known for different things. […] For me, different folks wanted to pull me in to help tell their personal stories.”

Kutter’s songwriting put her on the map of major record labels in Nashville, ultimately landing her a deal this year (2026) with BBR Music Group/BMG Nashville.

Today:

Flash forward just two months later, the singer-songwriter is on this wild ride, working on more music and playing as many shows as she can. Her debut major-label single, “Bed of Roses” marks just the beginning for the songstress.

“I had this vague idea of a housewife murders her husbands, puts him in the back with the rose garden, and the day before the writing session, I got a phone call that was honestly really heartbreaking. There was a person I really respected in the industry for a long time. I didn’t know them personally, but my manager Adrian had called me up and said he got some bad news. He said that he had talked to them about my artistry and very long-story short, they said that they didn’t think I had the vocal chops to be an artist, that they didn’t think I was pretty enough to be an artist, and they even talked about the way I talked. I was just kinda shattered,” shared the singer.

Instead of dwelling on it (although she was heartbroken), she took herself to Nissan Stadium to see her favorite band AC/DC in concert. “I remember looking down at the stage that night, and I had never felt farther a way from the stage, literally and figuratively. All my dreams felt so far away,” she shared, adding, “It started kinda striking me that every single song that you would know the song just from the introduction and also what hit me was at the end of every chorus, at least their hits, they would have this chanting section. […] I was like “Wow I want to write a song like this.” And I text my two co-writers that I was going to write with tomorrow.”

Kutter took her pain and heartbreak into the writer’s session the next day, and “Bed of Roses” was born. “The next day happens, and the sadness had kinda turned to spice a little bit, and I start telling them what this business person had said. I said if they don’t like the way I talk, I’ll take the whole song. […] We settled on having a sung chorus and a spoken verse,” she shared. “The song kinda turned into a metaphor for me, killing off the negative voices and burying them.”

The single is just the beginning for Kutter, and we cannot wait to see what she unveils next. Stay tuned!

Who Is Meels? The Story Behind Her Journey to Country Music

Who is Meels? The singer-songwriter joined us to chat about her journey to country music. Get to know the rising star here…

Quick Facts:

Full Name – Amelia “Meels” Einhorn
Birthdate – October 10th
Hometown – Mill Valley, California
Current City – Mill Valley, California
Musical Influences – Paul McCartney, Loretta Lynn,
Label – Lost Highway
Current Single – “Out West” off of Across The Raccoon Strait EP (as of date of article: 03/16/2026)

The Beginning:

This week we interviewed a singer-songwriter who is a true artist in every sense of the word. Amelia Einhorn who goes by Meels is a force to be reckoned with in the industry right now. She just releases her latest projectAcross The Raccoon Strait, and 2026 is shaping up to be a huge year for the singer. Keep reading to learn more about her story.

“I was born in Boston, but I grew up for most of my life in Mill Valley, California,” began Meels. “I’ve been playing piano since I was five. My grandmother was a concert pianist, so she put my mom in piano, and then my mom put me and my three sisters into piano when we were super young. I was kinda the only one that took to it.”

At a very young age, Meels was fully enamored with music, finding herself in every artist she listened to, and learning more about herself as she created her own music. “I grew up on a lot of 60s and 70s folk. My mom played a lot of Peter, Paul and Mary and John Denver growing up. I don’t really see John Denver and see him solely as a country artist, but Back Home Again is one of my all time favorite records, and I think John Denver is what really got me into country music and folk music early in my life.”

For Meels, music was a creative outlet. As she got older she added banjo and guitar to her resume, and she even wrote her first song at just fourteen years old. “I always say that I’m a songwriter first, performer second, even though I love both equally. When I wrote my first song, just the release that I felt and how therapeutic it was for me, I knew it was something I was going to do forever. It was a turning point for me,” she shared, adding, “I had just gone through a horrific friend break-up that rocked me, I was so sad, and so I was feeling sad, and I asked mom to take a personal day from school, and she’s the best, and let me. And I had another family friend that would bring over instruments all the time, and he brought over a ukulele and I had never played it in my life, and I looked it up, learned some chords, and wrote my first song on the ukulele that day.”

The Turning Point:

Meels always saw herself as an artist, taking her dream of playing music professionally across to the East coast to New York City, where she attended college. “I went to NYU the Clive Davis School of Recorded Music and then, I just knew from a young age that music was always something I wanted to pursue.”

While at college, Meels honed her skills as songwriter and music-maker, recalling the days from her youth where she discovered the therapy music provided. “I had started kinda recording covers with a family friend whose in the music industry, and I posted a cover of Vance Joy, “Riptide,” sepia-filter, pressing play on the computer for the track, and he saw the video and texted my dad that I could really sing, and told me I should try to write some songs,” she shared, reminiscing about the early days of her songwriting.

Eventually, upon graduating college, Meels was hungry to release music of her own. “I was like I’m an artist and I need to release a project, and I actually went to Nashville [and made my first EP.] It was basically the best songs that I wrote in college,” she shared, adding, “It did fairly well for me releasing independently, and I started positing pretty religiously on socials too.”

Despite loving the project, the indie-pop genre that she found herself in still didn’t’ feel right for her style and her voice. “I  felt like I was constantly searching for a genre that felt right for my voice and my songwriting, and there was this summer where my boyfriend, whose also my creative director, we worked really loses on the Meels project together – he started playing a lot of classic country music, and I just took a deep dive into Loretta Lynn and Marty Robins, and Willie Nelson. I took this deep dive, and all of sudden this music started pouring out of me. I had found a genre that felt so right for me and my voice and my songwriting style.”

Today:

Flash forward to today, Meels found her home at her label Lost Highway and even found her own style of music, something she calls, “critter country.” “Eventually was hooked up with my manager, Jake, and all of a sudden things started snowballing from there, and I started talking to these labels. This record has been done for a long time, and I have been teasing the songs for probably a year before it finally came out, but I think finding Lost Highway felt so perfect and the perfect partner for me,” she shared.

Since moving to Los Angeles to live with her grandma, signing her deal, and created her now released record,  Across The Raccoon Strait, Meels has been relentless about getting her music out there.” I was playing as much as I could, and I made Across The Raccoon Strait at that point. I was sending it before it was even mastered, I was like, “here’s my music, would love to play at your venue.” I was sending it to whoever would listen to it.”

With the project officially out in the world, Meels’ momentum is at an all-time high. The EP as a whole is a cohesive project that truly speaks what she is capable of an artist int he folk-Americana space. “”The Wizard” is the most personal song for me. It’s just a very special one. I also love “Marsha June” is right now, my favorite because I wrote it about my grandma, the one I moved in with in LA, and it’s all about her story, and sonically, the outro of that song is my most proud moment as a producer, as an arranger. It sounds exactly like it did in my head, and that was literally the coolest moment.”

Across The Raccoon Strait is one of those projects that fans are going to play again and again. Meels will also be playing he songs live all season long, as she embarks on a ton of touring. Stay tuned for what’s to come from the talented artist!

Who Is Abbie Callahan? The Story Behind Her Journey to Country Music

Who is Abbie Callahan? The singer-songwriter joined us to chat about her journey to country music. Get to know the rising star here…

Quick Facts:

Full Name – Abbie Callahan
Birthdate – 09/17/2001
Hometown – Iowa City, Iowa
Current City – Nashville, Tennessee
Musical Influences – Patsy Cline, Sierra Ferrell, Kacey Musgraves, Sabrina Carpenter
Current Single – “2:38” ft. Brendan Walter (as of date of article: 03/09/2026)

The Beginning:

This week, we chatted with talented singer-songwriter, Abbie Callahan all about her upbringing, her music, and where she’s headed.

“I grew up in Iowa City. I was there until I moved to college, but nobody in my family does music at all, it’s just me. I really wanted to be a surgeon until I was sixteen, and we visited Nashville for the first time, and that’s where I really saw live music.”

Despite not being surrounded by musicians, Callahan was always a big music fan. “Growing up, we listened to a bunch of pop radio, my mom loved that, and as I grew up and learned about streaming, I started listening to the Tyler Childers kinda country and early Chris Stapleton.” She even recalls participating in the school talent show in elementary school. “I moved schools when I was in fourth grade and I did the talent show to make friends at the new school. […] We had a karaoke machine just for fun, and I said, “I’ll try singing.” So I knew I could kinda sing, but I didn’t think of it as a job at all.”

The songstress took her love of music and starting writing songs as a way to process her teen feelings. “It was so cliche. My mom was very proactive of us, so she said no dating until you’re sixteen, so when I was sixteen, I was like there are so many new feelings and that’s when I started writing crazy songs.”

The Turning Point:

Despite thinking she was going to be a surgeon one day, Callahan’s trip to Nashville changed the trajectory of her career. “I really wanted to be a surgeon until I was sixteen, and we visited Nashville for the first time, and that’s where I really saw live music. And I fell in love with Broadway in Nashville, and all the country music going on,” she shared, “That’s when I was first introduced to it. I was just enamored with it, and I went home writing songs and two years later, applied and went to Belmont. It was kind of a big switch, but it wasn’t really a big part of my upbringing, but then I saw it, and I was like, “oh that’s what I want to do.”

Since her mother was in education, Callahan knew she was going to attend college, but had to find a way to get an education and play music. “I really just wanted to move to Nashville and start playing shows, but my mom wanted me to figure out how to get a degree under my belt. […] I found Belmont, so I started doing college classes while I was in high-school, so I finished a year of college before I move to Nashville which was really helpful, I did songwriting, and I came here during COVID, so I didn’t meet a ton of people but it gave me a change to sit in my dorm and gave me a chance to write good songs.”

The songstress started playing on Broadway in Nashville, honing her skills as both a performer and an artist “Playing on Broadway was a master class on how to perform and how to be on stage. It paid for college and also to put out some of the songs I wrote in school.” Eventually, the industry took notice of the singer-songwriter, offering her, her first publishing deal. “My publisher found me on Instagram playing Whiskey Fest or something. […] It kinda fell into my lap. I wasn’t really looking for a publishing deal. Obviously I wanted it, but I didn’t really know how.”

Today:

Flash forward to today, Callahan continues to find her place in country music, a genre she has fallen in love with. She continues to write as often as possible, while connecting with her fans across her socials. Most recently the singer released a song with Brendan Walter called, “2:38.”

“Last summer I wrote that with Ryan Hurd and Michael Lotten. I had been in my publishing deal for two years, so it was about right after I signed. I was so nervous because I had never written with an artist I had heard of before. […] It was one of those weeks where I felt like I couldn’t think of anything new. […] I was up late the night before for probably no good reason, and the time was 2:38, so I wrote it down in my notes, and I don’t know why it inspired, but it did, so I brought that into the room with Ryan and he loved that. […] I met Brendan [Walter] at a writer’s round in Nashville, and he’d always been very supportive and friendly, and eventually my publisher sent it to him, and asked him if he wanted to be on it, and he said, “hell yeah.”

While different than her viral song, “Simon Says,” both songs speak to Callahan’s undeniable talent as both a singer and a songwriter. “It’s a really honest song, and the reaction to it has been amazing. So many people have commenting their stories with it. It’s been really inspiring to keep making music that is that honest,” shared the singer, when asked about “Simon Says.”

We expect even more coming from Callahan this year too! “I’m going on my first tour dates with Carter Faith this winter. That’s something I’m very excited about, and then we’re going to see if anything clicks on social media. If it does well, we’ll put that out. Everything I’m teasing right now is up for consideration, and I’ve been writing a ton.” Stay tuned!

Who Is Trey Pendley? The Story Behind His Journey to Country Music

Who is Trey Pendley? The singer-songwriter joined us to chat about his journey to country music. Get to know the rising star here…

Quick Facts:

Full name – Trey Pendley
Birthdate – 01/04/2000
Hometown – Toad Suck, Arkansas
Current city – Nashville, Tennessee
Musical influences – Merle Haggard, Ozzy Osborne, Lynyrd Skynyrd
Label – Leo33
Current Single – “Like A River” (as of date of article: 03/02/2026)
The Beginning:

Today’s artist represents the true definition of the word artist. Rising star, Trey Pendley writes about what he knows and shares his heart with his fans through his gritty and honest music. We chatted with the singer-songwriter about his story, his brand new project, Podunk, and everything in between.

“I grew up in a little town of 200 in Arkansas in a town called Toad Suck, Arkansas, which I learned when I left how funny that is,” began the singer. “I was alone quite a bit in a town surrounded by old men, my grandfather and his buddies. I always say that I was baptized in music. There was just so much music going on all the time. There were like four radio station playing and I would soak in all of it.”

For Pendley, music was a lifeline, a friend, and a way to process everything in his life. “Music got me through all those times of being alone and I guess hearing stories my grandpa and my buddies would tell, and I picked up on all of those. I started writing music pretty young. I feel like I’m doing the same thing now that I was doing then, try to keep my head down and think of all the things that old people like to talk about.”

He recalls falling in love with music from an early age, coining artists like Merle Haggard and even Ozzy Osborne as some of his favorites. “It was definitely overwhelming older country, Merle Haggard and George Jones. But then again, my dad was playing Eazy-E and Mötley Crüe. I feel like I would listen to good music. I think our genre was good music,” he shared, adding, “Merle Haggard was probably my favorite when I started out, I loved his storytelling even Blaze Foley. I liked the sorrow stuff that was real and deeper than just beer type of country you know. Later on, when Chris Stapleton came around and it was insane sounding and insane writing too.”

The Turning Point:

Pendley grew up surrounded by hardworking men that would work themselves to the bone, a path he also originally saw for himself. “The people I was raised around, it was kind of like to be a good man, you had to be miserable and put yourself last, and all that stuff. My dad too was that kind of man, and once they realized I could do this, they heard it one day and dug into it a little more, and it turned into my dad and mom trying to push me in this direction. I feel like even the start of doing it as a career was from them forcing me to, which I love.”

Because of the support of his family, Pendley started to see a career in music as a path for him. “I still battle that some days, that hardworking man stuff. I can do that, and I’m actually really good at that, and sometimes I want to do that in a way, but then again, I also have a family and I want them to be taken care of way better than that. I also have a lot more to say than I used to.”

Despite the internal battle, Pendley has planted himself firmly in the music industry, even securing himself a record deal with Leo33. “When I was young and going through some stuff in my life, writing music was a release in a way that connects people,” he shared. “I’m thankful for everything I been through in my life, even the bad stuff, and there’s been plenty of both good and bad stuff in my life. Everyday it makes me more of who I am, and it’s all honest. One of my goals is to spread the message that our life is what makes us, regardless of what cards we are dealt.

Today:

Flash forward to today, Pendley officially releases his debut EP, Podunk. The record features six songs that speak to the singer-songwriter’s talent and story as a human and as an artist. Each song showcases different stories and experiences that the singer has been through – all equally as important as the next.

“I was writing a whole lot. There’s all types of things I want to write about, but I don’t know how, so I just write about what I know. This EP is really where we’re at now, where we’ve been for a while, and where we are going. It covers the good and the bad and the in-between. It’s such a great little project,” shared the singer.

While the title track and “Like A River” are also incredible songs, currently Pendley finds himself loving the song, “The Dog.” The track speaks to the authenticity of his songwriting in the most prolific way, all while still being an enjoyable song to listen to. “That one is a lot closer to right now than anything else because we kinda go back and forth where we’re doing alright for ourselves and still getting t know this career we’re starting. We go up and down, but I’m such a dreamer that when things go up a little bit, it’s probably my fault that it goes down because I get so excited, and I go get my wife or my kid something, and we’re always out of dog food. It doesn’t matter how much we made this month or how much we’re going to make next, we’re always going to be out of dog food.”

The release of the Podunk EP marks just the beginning for Pendley, who is planning to release even more music and play as many shows as possible in 2026. He said it best at the end of our interview: “Keep your eyes open because there’s probably a whole lot that we don’t know yet coming.” Stay tuned!

As a Lubbock, Texas native, St. Clair spent his childhood immersed in all things music.  “I got brought into it by my dad I would say, listening to some Texas country artists like Rob Earle Keen, Lyle Lovett, those are his favorite guys. I started playing guitar. I grew up playing piano, stopped playing piano because I got bored going to the lessons, and I started playing guitar when I was ten, and I started playing in front of people in high-school, sixteen or seventeen probably, and writing songs around that same time.”

As he cultivated his own love of music, the singer-songwriter became enamored with artists that he discovered on his own. “I would say my biggest inspirations in terms of songwriting came after the fact. My dad introduced me to a ton of guys that I still listen to and love today, but growing up with the invention of Apple Music, that was the coolest thing ever,” shared the singer. “I got to start listening to everybody. I stumbled across Jason Isbell that way and Turnpike Troubadours that way, and there’s John Fullbright, so those three are some of my biggest influences in terms of songwriting. The Turnpike Troubadours are my favorite band of all time.”

The Turning Point:

Despite trying to start multiple bands in high-school, it wasn’t until St. Clair attended college at Baylor University that his dreams of starting a band began to take shape. “I got to Baylor, and that’s where I met the rest of the band. […] We kinda came together on accident a little bit, but it was just a fortunate thing and we hit the road running, and we’ve been playing ever since,” began the singer. “I tried to start probably five bands in high-school, and none of them worked out, and I played solo acoustic at bars and restaurants in Lubbock for a few years, and I don’t ever want to go back to that. Playing with a band is so much more fun.”

Coined as a “fraternity band,” even though they never played a fraternity event or party, St. Clair met the rest of the band organically through college. “The idea for the band kinda came together cause we were going to play one darty, which is a day party, and we never did,” shared the singer. “I had met some friends in the music industry from playing around in Lubbock, and I had played some songwriter nights and what not, and I got a call to ask if we could open up for one of them, and his name was Hank Weaver, so Jackson Wright and I opened up acoustic for our buddy, and then I got another call to open up, and they wanted full band. […] I told him I could make it happen, and I called up all these guys, and said we have a show in two weeks, and we worked our tails off and got to practicing.”

The full band had their first show at Cheatham Street in San Marcos, which is a really special place for music in Texas. “I realized that I didn’t really want to be a fraternity band, and we hadn’t played any fraternity stuff yet so there was still time. I had written all these songs prior to the band starting, and I asked if they wanted to come to Lubbock for a week in the summertime to record.” The band agreed, and the rest was history.

Today:

Flash forward to today, Graham St. Clair Band’s first album, XX opened a lot of doors for the newcomers. “People started calling us a little more and answered our emails when we sent them. […] It really kind of felt since we released that album that it wasn’t just for fun anymore, we were going to try.”

Most recently, the band released their incredible EP, titled The Narrow Gate, featuring songs like “Junior Stayed Home” and “The Deep End.” “I have been waiting to put these songs out for a very long time, so I’m very excited for these to come out. I think “Junior Stayed Home” and “Lose Yourself” are the youngest ones. The record is meant to be listened to all at once. The idea is it’s kind of our initial impression of some of the stuff we see in the music industry especially some of the harder things. The music industry is really romanticized. It’s a lot of fun, but at the same time, it’ comes with a lot of difficult problems that you face with being on the road and being so close with seeing musicians have problems with substances and all of these things. It’s also a beautiful thing that you get to share your music with everybody and to play your music with people that the songs are going to mean something to.”

The record is one of those projects that people will fall in love with instantly. Each and every song has a distinct purpose, and the EP is a mark of true artistry. While St. Clair shared this about the song, “Junior Stayed Home,” we think this statement exemplifies much of the record. “There’s some personal stuff and also some non-personal stuff that went into the writing of that song. Really the message that I wanted to get across with it is when you see someone who is going through something like that, grace is an important thing, you don’t know where they’re coming from or why they’re in the position they’re in. You can respond with grace and love instead of judgement.”

2026 is shaping up to be a huge year for the Graham St. Clair Band. Stay tuned for more music and a show near you!

Who is Harper Grace? The singer-songwriter joined us to chat about her journey to country music. Get to know the rising star here…

who-is-harper-grace

Quick Facts:

Full Name – Harper Kayleigh Grace Gruzins
Birthdate – 6/26/2001
Hometown – McKinney, Texas
Current City – Nashville, Tennessee
Musical Influences – Dolly Parton, Rascal Flatts, Christina Aguilera
Label – Curb Records
Current Single (comes out 2/27) – “if daddy says no” (as of date of article 2/16/26)

The Beginning:

A few years ago with introduced you to a singer-songwriter that we really believed in, Harper Grace. We recently reconnected with the songstress, as she embarks on a brand new era in her music. Continue reading to learn more about her story.

A Dallas, Texas native, Grace grew up with an incredibly supportive family. “I grew up in Texas, and my dad always had country music blaring in his truck, and my Nana played the accordion. She would listen to records like Dolly Parton, Loretta Lynn, and Johnny Cash. The list goes on and on.”

Grace recalls finding so much solace in music from an early age. “My found love for country started at a very early age. My Nana bought me my very first guitar when I was six or seven, and we had a piano donated to my family around the same time, so I was homeschooled and I just fell in love with writing songs.” She started to spend her days writing songs and listening to some of her favorite artists.

“I started really, really diving into music and what it meant to be, and fast forward a little bit, I was known as the worst national anthem singer ever as an eleven year old, which was a very trailing time for me, but also taught me a lot about having confidence and bravery, and learning who I was to the core and what my purpose was and what I wanted to say and that mattered,” she shared, adding, ” “I grew up singing gospel music, so Nicole C. Mullen was somebody I listened to a lot. My mom listened Norah Jones and Christina Aguilera and Alicia Keys and Aretha Franklin, but I heard Rascal Flatts, and they were this beautiful mix of the soul and the country music that I would listen to with my grandma, so it was a wide variety of music that inspired me, and I knew I wanted to be part of the country music family because I could close my eyes and see what they were saying within their lyrics, and I wanted to be able to do that and incorporate the soul that I loved so much too.”

The Turning Point:

Grace knew that country music was her calling in life, even when she was a young child. “Music was what stuck and what I have been attached at the hip to. […] It’s what feels right and resonates with the chords of my heart,” she shared.

At sixteen, the singer went on American Idol, and then found herself at a crossroads, finally moving to Music City. “I moved to Nashville, when I was roughly nineteen, and I’ve been here ever since. Signed a record deal shortly after I moved here, and I’ve been striving to tell stories and ripping pages right of my heart even if it bleeds some times, and hoping people hold on to them.”

Since moving to Nashville, the songstress focused on finding her sound and her team. “It’s definitely been a journey. You go through this phase of figuring out what your style is and who you want to work with. […] With some of my past releases, they’ve been very fun and catchy songs, but I reached a point where I want to be so vulnerable and so honest, and I don’t want to hold back. It’s what I fell in love with in the beginning, which is the organic side of country music. […] I have moved towards just this more vocal-forward, organic sound, that I hope to kind of continue to walk into, where you can just feel like you’re right there in the middle of an 8-track recording in the middle of the live session.”

Today:

Flash forward to today, Grace is embarking on a brand new era in her music, a more vulnerable and deeply personal one. “I gained a lot of confidence in wanting to release “if daddy says no” due to the fans. I’ve been singing it live for a little over a year now, and hearing people’s stories and having them come to a point of vulnerability with me, with the song, is what gave me confidence.”

Grace’s single, “if daddy says no” officially comes out on February 27th, and it’s truly one of the best songs she’s ever released.

“This is the most personal song that I’ve ever let out in the world. It’s my baby for sure. It tells a story of a situation that I was kinda stuck in. The tension between doing what was right for me at the time and figuring out what that was. I love love, I’ve always been an hopeless romantic, and I’ve also been the girl that sees the best in everything even when it’s waving a red flag in front of my face,” she shared, adding, “It’s the tension between the two relationships that mean a lot to me. Luckily, my dad did say no, and this is a true story, and I closed the door on something that should have been closed a long time prior to that. […] I believe a lot of time that some of these songs that maybe I’ll get a chance to release down the road that we have plans for, it’s always been a time that I’ve learned something and I’ve been able to attach it to a couple chords and paint a canvas picture with it. It’s very much ripped right out of my heart and put to some music.”

For Grace, this is only just the beginning of her career as a country music artist. She has true staying power, as her talent in songwriting and singing can match up to any artist in the industry right now. Fans should keep their eyes and ears open for more music coming from Grace sooner rather than later!

“I’m grateful for the country music listeners because that’s what really pushed me to step into the true Harper Grace, the intimate, the real, the crispy vocal that comes out, there’s just so much emotion and so much rawness in this song and what’s to come as well,” shared the singer. “We have a lot of stuff that is coming soon, tour dates, new music tease, lots to come.”

Who Is Lauren Craig? The Story Behind Her Journey to Country Music

Who is Lauren Craig? The singer-songwriter joined us to chat about her journey to country music. Get to know the rising star here…

who-is-lauren-craig

Lauren Craig

Quick Facts:

Full Name – Lauren Craig
Birthdate – 07/22/1999
Hometown – Derry, Ireland
Current City – New York, New York
Musical Influences – Stevie Nicks, The 1975, Ella Langley, Chris Stapleton, Bruce Springsteen
Current Single – “Call Me Back” (as of date of article: 02/09/2026)

The Beginning:

This week we connected with a NYC-based country artist who has a special kind of talent. Singer-songwriter, Lauren Craig from Derry, Ireland impressed us with her artistry and her unique story. Keep reading to learn more about how she landed in New York City, as well as, all about her music.

“I’m originally from Derry in Ireland. I moved over to New York a couple of years ago just to pursue music, and music has always been a thing,” she shard. “Irish background is you are just brought up to sing and play an instrument or something, so I guess I couldn’t really see a career without that being involved.” From an early age, Craig recalls being enamored with music, often listening to both Irish country music and American country music.

“We actually have Irish country which is kinda a little different, but I think from then, it’s people either like Irish country, American country or both. I’ve always had it in my heart growing up. All our CDs have been country music. […] Whenever Zach Bryan took off, he did a tour in Ireland, and everybody was obsessed,” she shared, adding, “Artists now like Ella Langley, I feel like everybody is just obsessed with her, especially for women, she’s such a good artist to follow, and her journey has been pretty cool, so I’m manifesting that for myself.”

Throughout her upbringing, Craig channeled some of her favorite artists, all while creating her own thing. She played shows through her home country before finding herself landing in America.

The Turning Point:

Like many people do, the songstress took a vacation to New York City, and ended up wanting to stay. “I came out here on a holiday first, and I just fell in love with it. The music scene is so big in New York. It just drew me I guess. I came over and there’s definitely some similarities with Irish music scene in New York, and I wanted to play here. […] After I came out on the holiday, I had to get my paperwork figured out and come over here.”

A bit before the pandemic, the singer finally made the move to NYC. She pursued her degree in psychology degree while simultaneously making connections both in the big apple and in Nashville. “I was so nervous to start writing songs, but now I kinda see it as a way of journaling. If something goes wrong in my life, I just put it down on a page. I never really wrote songs with other people until I came to Nashville and New York. Now I love writing with other people, so it definitely helped that way,” shared Craig.

In 2022 she released her first single, marking the moment she truly fell in love with songwriting and the industry.

I’ve been lucky to have a lot of opportunities since I moved to New York between here and Nashville. I’ve met a lot of friends who have really helped boost my career to be honest,” she explained, adding, “I reached out to a guy, John, who plays drums for Parker McCollum. I just reached out and asked if he knew any producers in Nashville that would be interested in working with a little Irish girl like me. […] He sent me a list of a few different producers, and I went with Jacob Gardner, he also plays guitar with Riley Green, and I reached out to him. […] Honestly, he saw my vision, and we got into the studio right away, and I loved how he brought my lyrics to life.”

Today:

Flash forward to today, Craig is releasing songs, including ones that was produced by Gardner, “Tracks” and “Call Me Back.”

“Call Me Back” is Craig’s newest single, and it truly speaks to her grit as a singer-songwriter. Throughout the song, she evokes emotions that are hard to admit outlaid. It is a true embodiment of using music as therapy.

“”Call Me Back” is definitely more of an emotional song than the other ones I have brought out. It’s kinda about identifying the feelings that you go through whenever you go through a breakup,” shared the singer. “Honestly, I was just sitting and the tears were falling, and I was just writing everything I was feeling down on the page. It’s probably one of my favorite songs I brought out because it’s so raw. It was literally what I was feeling in the moment. There’s definitely a little bit of a poppier-country vibe to it to pull away from how sad it can be if it was stripped back. […] I think most people can relate to it, I know I can relate to it.”

It’s just the beginning for Craig. She already has more music that’s she’s planning to released throughout 2026, and she remains focused on creating and getting her music out there for fans. “I’m actually playing a bunch of shows and going back home to play in Ireland for the first time in two years. […] Hopefully in the next month and half, I’ll have a new single out. My goal this year is to release at least four songs this.”

Stay tuned!

Who Is Tyler Nance? The Story Behind His Journey to Country Music

Who is Tyler Nance? The singer-songwriter joined us to chat about his journey to country music. Get to know the rising star here…

Tyler Nance

Quick Facts:

Full name – Tyler Nance
Hometown – Lamar, Missouri
Current city – Nashville, Tennessee
Musical influences – Keith Whitley, Hank Williams Jr, Everly Brothers
Current Single – “Keeps Me Sane” (as of date of article: 01/26/2026)
The Beginning:

Today’s artist is a singer-songwriter, who had quite the impressive year in 2025. Tyler Nance is slowly, but surely making everyone know his name. We chatted with the singer about his journey to music, his current songs, and of course, what fans can expect for 2026. Keep reading to learn more about the artist.

“I’m from a small-town in South West, Missouri, called Lamar. Fourth generation cattle farmer, and I also welded on the road for three years, and it’s kind of where I started getting into music,” began Nance. Despite loving music from an early age, the singer didn’t realize the gift he had until later on in life.

“I never thought I could sing. I never really tried. I just sang in the car and the shower, but I’ve always had a large impact on my life,” he shared, adding, ““My grandma put me on to a lot of the older stuff, like Rock N Roll and also country. It was a lot of Keith Whitley, Hank Williams Jr., Everly Brothers, just all over the place mix of people and other artists, that’s what really influenced me.”

Without even knowing it at the time, the music Nance fell in love with started to seep there way into his story-telling and eventually, his songwriting. “Whenever I was welding on the road, music is what I kinda did to get out of my own head and to pass time, and cure my boredom, and I happened to start posting and opportunities came with me posting, and it all went from there.”

The Turning Point:

As he continued working on the road, Nance found solace in music. “I always enjoyed poetry, but not that deep of a level. I enjoyed words and rhymes and stuff, and I found that fascinating, and I thought I could do it, so the first song I wrote in my truck, I had just got off work, and I was driving home, and I just had thoughts that popped into my head, and it happened like that.”

Naturally introspective and honest, the music that was pouring out of the singer started to resonate with his buddies. “I never was going to post anything on social media, I was too nervous, but I had a buddy that I worked on the road with who told me to start posting,” he shared, adding, “I usually tell people that I had a few beers one night, and I posted a song I had written on TikTok.”

Nance’s success and vitality on social media led him to connect with people that would ultimately change the trajectory of his life. “I’m always so shocked when I look at the numbers and stuff. It’s been such a short amount of time for things to be as big as they are now. It blows my mind,” shared the singer. “Most of this has been done by reaching out and networking on social media. That’s how I met my management.”

Today:

Flash forward to today, Nance is showing no signs of slowing down in 2026. His latest singles, “Keep Me Sane” featuring The Castellows and “Hell If I Know” speak to his undeniable talent as an artist.

When it comes to the collaboration with The Castellows, Nance wanted to breathe new life into the viral hit. “The collaboration is really simple. They couldn’t have made it any easier. Once we found out and got our schedules to align to be able to go into the studio and meet each other, they’re just a super talented group of people,” he shared.

“Keep Me Sane” is the type of song that makes you think, yet feels like it could have been ripped from a diary.  “The song itself, I was sitting right here, and I picked up my guitar, and I had written pretty much the first verse, and it was late, so I had a writing session the next day, and thought I would take it to them. I went to the write, and I finished the song here in Nashville. […] I never really expected the song to do anything, so it’s hard to get into words what it really means. I’d say mostly it’s about all the struggles I’ve put myself through and all the negative things, regardless of that, keeps me sane, keeps me moving forward. I think that stands true to life – the “what doesn’t kill you makes you stronger” type of thing.”

As 2026 unfolds, Nance is sure to release even more music. While he hopes to put out an album, one things for certain, the singer-songwriter will be playing live shows as much as possible. “There’s an Ian Munsick tour in February and March, and also in the spring, I plan on putting out an album for this year’s work, and I’m super excited about it because I’ve been writing so much this year, and I feel like I’ve grown so much as a writer, and the songs are just so good.” Grab tickets to a show near you here.

Who Is Ashley Brooks? The Story Behind Her Journey to Country Music

Who is Ashley Brooks? The singer-songwriter joined us to chat about her journey to country music. Get to know the rising star here…

Ashley Brooks

Quick Facts:

Full Name – Ashley Lauren Brooks
Birthdate – 03/09/1996
Hometown – Hickory Flat, Georgia
Current City – Ball Ground, Georgia
Musical Influences – Lee Ann Womack, Allison Krause, Reba, Janis Joplin
Label – Droptine & Marshals of the Revolution
Current Single – Better Bars” (as of date of article: 01/19/2026)

The Beginning:

Women in country music are always worth celebrating! Today we shine our spotlight on a talented female, newcomer in the genre, Ashley Brooks. Brooks chatted with us all about her love of country music, stepping into the limelight, and everything that truly makes her the artist that she is.

“I’m currently in North, Georgia,” she began. “I grew up with a dad who was in bands my whole childhood. He’s a guitar player. So when I got old enough, I asked him to be in a band with me, and he said that if I could write songs, he would.” Throughout her childhood, Brooks was always enamored with music, finding it to be a constant throughout her life.

“I remember being super, super little watching ‘The Little Mermaid,’ and trying to replicate her singing in the mirror, so my parents got me a karaoke machine. I remember being really little and sitting in my room with the OG country CDs and just singing along with them. […] I knew it was something that I loved. My dad bought me my first guitar,” shared the songstress.

She fell in love with artists like Lee Ann Womack, The Judds, and Loretta Lynn at an early age. “I always listened to country music,” she shared, adding, “My dad was actually more into the 80s rock bands, so I know a ton of 80s rock as well. It’s been in my blood since birth now.”

The Turning Point:

Despite loving country music and having natural talent, Brooks pursued a career in healthcare. “I dove into the healthcare world, and I made a great career in Georgia, and then I was like you know, I’m 20 something years old, if I’m going to do it, I’m going to do it, and I started writing my first song, and people really took to it.”

With the support of her dad, whose been in her band since its inception and the help of her mom running the merch stand, Brooks took the plunge into the crazy, yet exciting world of country music. “I want to be the Lee Ann Womack crossbred with Gretchen Wilson, like wild and rowdy, but can sing the bluegrass, heartfelt, high tones too,” shared the singer.

Slowly, but surely, Brooks started making waves on social media with her music, especially her song, “Leaving Side Of You.” Eventually, after writing music mostly by herself, Brooks started writing with SONY, which gave her the confidence and the experience to continue down this exciting path.

“Songwriting is the bread and butter of what I do. Songwriting is definitely it. I was going through a really tough period of my life in 2023, a lot of emotional stuff, and I just decided to pour it into music. That I feel like is what took it to the next level, just taking your life experiences, like Taylor Swifting somebody, and just literally writing a song about someone. But I always wrote alone, and then I started writing at SONY and other writers.”

Today:

Flash forward to today, 2026 is looking to be the biggest year yet for Brooks. A the end of the 2025, she released her sassy song, “For The Bar,” as well as, an acoustic cover of her viral song, “Leaving Side Of You.” “There’s this whole next level of songwriting with so many talented people. I’m just trying to grow my skills and do more collaborating,” she shared when talking about gaining experience in the industry.

When asked about “For The Bar,” Brooks shared that the song just fell out. The track adds to her growing live show too. “”For The Bar” was a cool idea that I had, a lot of times men are at the bar, but not really looking for anything but a hookup, and for women, a lot of the time it’s just so not traditional. So we were at SONY one day, and I was showing them this idea. […] It’s just kind of a “you didn’t see that coming in a song” kinda thing.”

In addition to “For The Bar,” Brooks also released a song called “Better Bars.” The single is another tempo track that feels live show ready, something that the singer hopes to do a lot more of this year.

“I’m keeping the momentum going, and hopefully being back on the Grand Ole Opry stage,” shared the singer. Stay tuned for more from Brooks!
