What do Chick-fil-A and chart-worthy country music have in common? For rising country artist Charly Reynolds, everything.

In this episode of Happy Hour with Deb, Charly opens up about her leap of faith—leaving Orlando at just 18, working her first job in Nashville at Chick-fil-A, and slowly building her dream from the ground up. Through guts, grit, and a whole lot of DMs, she created connections, found her voice, and now captivates audiences with her authentic storytelling and vibrant sound.

At only 25, Charly has already made waves with her 2023 EP “Perfect Timing” and her 2024 debut album “Off The Record”, featuring standout tracks like Love You Long, People Think, and Visiting Hours. She’s shared stages with Lainey Wilson, Cody Johnson, Maddie & Tae, and more — and her star is still on the rise.
