That Nashville Girl
“Are you that Nashville girl with the podcast?”
Yep — that’s me.
I’m the girl you see around town with the (patent-pending) bob. The one who can’t stop talking about the artist I just discovered or the songwriter I caught at a writer’s round that somehow changed my life a little. I pick my favorite athletes based on their charities and personalities — not just what they do on the field. And when I go out, I notice everything… the service, the drinks, the lighting, the energy, who’s sitting where and why.
Basically, I’m your unofficial Nashville bestie.
The one who tells you who to listen to before they blow up.
Who you should be paying attention to (and why).
And what actually lives up to the hype in a city that has a lot of it.
And each week, I sit down with someone in this city you might already know — or absolutely should — and we get into the stories, the moments, and the behind-the-scenes stuff that makes you feel like you’re a little more in it than everyone else.
It’s fun, it’s real, it’s a little unfiltered… and it’s the Nashville I love so much!

Your New Obsession: Bre Kennedy
Use Left/Right to seek, Home/End to jump to start or end. Hold shift to jump forward or backward.
If you love Brandi Carlile and Stephen Wilson, Jr. make room on your playlists for your new obsession, Bre Kennedy.
I was lucky enough to hear Bre Kennedy when she was opening for Stephen Wilson, Jr. at The Pageant in St. Louis. I turned to my friend and said, "I have to have her on my podcast!" Fast forward a week, and she was sitting across from me. We were instant friends. We were kindred spirits. We were bonded by our love of lyrics, artistry, and something we all know -- grief.
In this episode, we talk about all of it:
* What it feels like to walk out on stage with just a guitar
* How to keep going when you lose someone so close that they are your "North Star"
* Opening for Stephen Wilson, Jr (and having him open for you)
* and my moment of clarity when I realize why I was so instantly obsessed with Bre's voice
You'll watch this one on the edge of your seat -- and somehow still feel completely comfortable. That's how I felt sitting with Bre Kennedy.
And then you'll go download her music, including her new album The Alchemist, while checking her tour dates because you'll know you can't miss a show.
Trust me when I tell you that this is one to watch...you'll be able to say you knew her before the entire world was talking about her.
