Barrett Baber is back—and this special Labor Day Monday reunion comes with receipts.

I surprise Barrett with a long-lost VHS tape from our college days, complete with silver pants, frosted tips, double hoops, and a Backstreet Boys performance that may never have been intended for the internet.

Between the laughter and questionable fashion choices, Barrett gets refreshingly honest about creative burnout, the pressure to constantly make content, balancing music with family life and continuing to show up when inspiration feels harder to find. We also talk about knowing your worth, running a high school football scoreboard, growing older in the music business and why John Mayer remains Barrett’s greatest musical influence.

Barrett also shares the story behind One Morning in June, his beautifully raw five-song project with Dennis Drummond and Haydel. Recorded around a single microphone with no real plan, the collection captures three musicians laughing, improvising and playing simply because they love it. It features the original “Plenty of Something” alongside stripped-down versions of “A Change Is Gonna Come,” “Rhinestone Cowboy,” “Sara Smile” and “Easy.”

Basically, this episode is two old friends, one incriminating VHS tape, and a conversation that goes everywhere in the best way.

Listen to One Morning in June and follow Barrett Baber everywhere you stream music.

We saved one of our favorite Nashville girls for last! For the grand finale of our CMA Fest recordings—and the last official weekend of summer—Ashland Craft joins us for tequila, truth and one absolutely unforgettable Nashville story.

Before she was releasing powerhouse country music and collaborating with artists like Ashley McBryde, Mae Estes and Chase Rice, Ashland was competing on Team Miley on The Voice, traveling back and forth to Nashville, and saying yes to every opportunity she could find.

That includes saying yes when her Uber driver casually suggested they write a song together. Seven years later, he’s still one of her friends and co-writers. If that doesn’t perfectly capture the magic of Nashville, we don’t know what does.

Ashland opens up about singing four-hour sets on Broadway, creating Dive Bar Beauty Queen, learning to own her place in the industry, fighting imposter syndrome and making music that gets people out of their seats.

It’s funny, honest, inspiring and filled with serious main-character energy—the perfect way to close out our CMA Fest summer.

Is Written By A Woman the best country EP of 2026? I’m calling it now.

For our first New Music Friday episode, country artist and songwriter Zoe Jean Fowler joins That Nashville Girl to take us inside an EP written entirely by women —and packed with songs that make choosing a favorite nearly impossible.

Zoe shares the unexpected moment that inspired the project, the stories behind “Written By A Woman,” “Til The Wheels Fall Off,” “Fireflies,” “Shh... It Happens,” and “Another Day in Nashville,” plus the all-female songwriting community that helped bring it to life.

We also get honest about chasing a dream in Nashville, comparison, rejection, the pressure women face in country music, and why sometimes realizing no one else will build your dream is exactly what pushes you forward.

Plus: Zoe’s earliest song about her dad, her dream of playing the Ryman, the artist she would love to duet with, and her own pick for a must-hear country album.

Your weekend homework: listen to Written By A Woman and try to pick just one favorite song.

This episode was recorded at Hutton Hotel’s iconic Nashville recording studio.

In 2005, Lewis Brice performed at the Key West Songwriters Festival in a lineup packed with exceptional artists and songwriters. His voice and stage presence stood out so much that I recognized him instantly when I crossed paths with him in Nashville a year later—long before social media made it easy to keep up with someone.

Twenty years later, Lewis joins me for a full-circle conversation about building a real, lasting life in country music.

Lewis Brice is a powerhouse vocalist, recording artist, songwriter, producer, touring performer, and independent label owner. His songwriting credits include “Promise,” recorded by Jelly Roll; he has released music with The Swon Brothers; and he continues releasing his own music through Pup House Records, the label he founded with his brother, country artist Lee Brice.

Together, we revisit the Nashville music scene of the mid-2000s—from 12th & Porter and legendary label showcases to burned CDs and Broadway before the rooftops. Lewis shares how a Fuel concert changed the direction of his life, why he chose Nashville, and how he turned his talent into a sustainable career spanning more than two decades.

He also pulls back the curtain on the work required to succeed as an independent artist: writing, producing, rehearsing, touring, managing distribution, supporting a team, and running the business behind the music. Lewis opens up about fatherhood, his relationship with Lee, and why performing remains the part of the job he loves most.

Plus, we get into Lewis Brice’s new song “Dying to Dance”—how it challenged him vocally, why audiences connected with it before its release, and what’s coming next now that he has recorded even more new music.

This episode travels from Key West in 2005 to Nashville today with an artist whose talent made an immediate impression—and whose career proves that first impression was right.

Tay Scheibe was only 10 years old when she was diagnosed with large cell lymphoma. After chemotherapy, a stage four recurrence, radiation, and a bone marrow transplant, she entered remission—but it took years for her to feel proud of what she had overcome.

In this moving episode, Tay opens up about losing her hair and sense of identity, feeling isolated during treatment, and ultimately turning her childhood cancer experience into a source of purpose. Today, she is the founder of With Love, a Nashville nonprofit that helps children in treatment remember one essential truth: they are still kids, and they are still themselves.

With Love provides care packages, toys, games, creative encouragement, hospital resources, and special experiences for children facing cancer. The 100% volunteer-run organization is also preparing to transform a hospital playroom into a bright, welcoming space for patients from ages two to 18.

Tay also gives us an inside look at Yellowstones 2026, With Love’s Western-inspired Nashville fundraiser. Join us Thursday, September 10, at Union Station Nashville Yards for live music, custom cowboy hats, whiskey tasting, a silent auction, Kendra Scott, Ranger Station, heavy appetizers, cocktails, and a night of meaningful impact.

Come dressed in your best “cocktail cowboy” attire and help With Love reach its $75,000 goal to serve more children and hospitals.

Country artist Matt Rogers arrived with big dreams, good energy, and a security credential he would very much like to explain.

After performing at America’s 250th celebration in Washington, D.C., Matt discovered that someone had placed his post-shower biometric photo—not his professional headshot—on his official ID. What followed was a long day of security checkpoints, confused guards, and one profoundly unimpressed mother.

Fortunately, questionable decisions make excellent stories.

Matt also opens up about the less glamorous side of pursuing a dream: hearing “no,” questioning yourself, and continuing to show up anyway. He shares why small wins matter, how he learned to embrace what makes him different, and what changed when he stopped being embarrassed to be himself.

The conversation takes a meaningful turn with the story behind “Camouflage,” the deeply personal song Matt created after losing a family friend. Every stream helps support Brother’s Keeper Veteran Foundation and its work in the fight against veteran suicide.

There’s heart, hilarity, Nashville honesty, tour-bus reality, and a little Broadway bourbon math. The train may be wobbling, but it’s heading somewhere good.

Is Onoleigh country music’s Adele? After hearing her powerhouse vocals and deeply personal songwriting, we’re making the case.

Onoleigh joins us on her birthday—and the release day of her new song, “Nothing At All”—to reveal her upcoming EP, Love Bomb. She shares how her real life became her most honest music, the stories behind songs like “Waited Too Long” and “Losing Me and You,” and why this new project finally feels like the real Onoleigh.

We also talk about Adele, healing, intuition, finding yourself, and the difference between an album and an EP—all while celebrating with protein donuts.

It’s a fun, honest, and slightly unhinged conversation about great music and everything that inspires it.

At just 19, rising country artist Sela Campbell has gone from studying at UVA to signing major music deals, opening for Carly Pearce and releasing her debut EP, Loving Made Me Mean.

Sela shares how a guy telling her she’d be prettier as a platinum blonde inspired the ultimate country clapback—and one of her favorite songs to perform live. She also talks about leaving college to pursue music, singing onstage with Carly Pearce and how years of playing three-hour gigs prepared her for this breakthrough moment.

Plus, Sela performs “Blonde” live.

Special thanks to 8th Avenue Guitar Works for hosting this episode and providing the perfect setting for our conversation.

This was not the episode we planned.

Meghan Linsey arrived expecting a fun conversation. Just as she got here, we learned that Dolly Parton had passed away. We were stunned, heartbroken, and honestly didn’t know what to do. Canceling felt understandable—but we both believed Dolly would tell us to go on. So we sat down, pressed record, and talked it out.

What followed is a raw, tearful, and deeply loving tribute to the woman who embodied country music, generosity, strength, humor, and hope. Meghan shares how singing Dolly Parton’s “Hard Candy Christmas” helped her first discover her own voice, why Dolly has always been the great connector, and how her music became part of the soundtrack of our lives.

We also talk candidly about Meghan’s journey from Steel Magnolia to becoming a solo artist: the painful end of a relationship, loving someone through addiction, choosing herself, surviving Nashville’s cruelty, and rebuilding a career when quitting sometimes felt easier. Meghan opens up about “Humble Again,” rediscovering her authentic voice, and why she continues chasing the dream even when she feels lost.

This conversation is filled with shock, grief, tears, laughter, and above all, love for Dolly. We didn’t have the right words. We still don’t. But we believe Dolly would have said, “Now you girls go on and have a podcast.”

So that’s what we did. We will always love you, Dolly. Thank you...for everything.
