BURNING QUESTIONS: Caroline Jones Shares Her Worst Habit, Something She Hates That Everyone Loves + Her Recent Citation

Singer-songwriter Caroline Jones sits down with Caroline Hobby to talk about her extremely unique life story. Caroline recently became the first female member of The Zac Brown Band. She shares about the call she got from Zac Brown asking her to come on the road and how that eventually led to an official position in the band. Caroline shares about her other mentors in the industry including the huge role Jimmy Buffett played in her career. Jimmy Buffett, notorious for having no openers, brought Caroline out as an opening act and special guest in 2018 and 2019. She shares that while on the road, Jimmy & Mac McAnally even wrote a song about her titled “Gulf Coast Girl.”
We delve into Caroline’s backstory of growing up in Connecticut in a non-musical household and then moving in with her grandmother in New York City to go to an arts high school. After finishing school, Caroline made her way to Nashville to further her songwriting craft and she immediately felt right at home. For many years, Caroline focused solely on music, not allowing herself to really have a personal life. She shares about the synchronicities that led up to her meeting her sailor husband. Caroline details how they moved to New Zealand right after meeting one another and the magic of falling in love in such a beautiful place while the world was shut down during the pandemic. Caroline also recently became a mother. She talks about her home-birth, how she’s evolved into motherhood and more.

Terri Clark drops by Get Real with Caroline Hobby to reflect on her 20+ year career in country music.

After going on to reach massive success, Terri shares about the pressures in the industry to remain relevant and trying not to play the comparison game. Caroline and Terri connect on Terri’s close relationship with her mom and tragically losing her to cancer.
