Leah Turner! Y’all. This girl has a STORY! Like the most magical things have happened to her, from 1) a random encounter w a woman in an LA restaurant where Leah was serving, heard her SPEAKING VOICE, not even singing voice, then 5 days later Leah was at David Foster’s house recording her original songs w him (WHAT?! That only happens in the movies, right?!) 2) Got offered a record deal on the spot at Sony.

Chuck Wicks! This guy is multi-talented. You probably know him from Ty, Chuck and Kelly, a nationally syndicated Radio Show that keeps you in-the-know of all things Country Music, and they're hilarious. He is an incredible artist, his hit, Stealing Cinderella, is one of my absolute favorite songs (and my dads too!). He's been on Dancing with The Stars, he does Iron Mans (yes, that's right, IRON MANS) and he recently survived a horrible car crash with his co-hosts that has only deepened his incredible wisdom on life. This interview is such a blast, bc Chuck has to be one of the funniest guys I know. He definitely does not take himself too seriously. And he plays us his new single "Whole Damn Thing," and it's badass. #nashville #carolinehobby #hypercarolinehobby #podcast #countrymusic #chuckwicks #tychuckandkelly Learn more about your ad-choices at https://www.iheartpodcastnetwork.com See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Mallory Ervin! This little lady is a bright light of overflowing energy! Seriously, Mal has more energy than ANYONE I have ever met. And she is the absolute sweetest, most joyful person around. It's essential she has tons of energy bc she does SO MUCH. She is the former Miss Kentucky and was RunnerUp to Miss America... she went on The Amazing Race 3 different seasons (she and her dad were fan favorites) and now she is a YouTube Star... she talks about everything on her YouTube page from makeup, to fitness/cooking/weight loss, and she takes you behind the scenes on her most adventurous life (including her stunning wedding and honeymoon) and she just too cute to handle. #Nashville #Podcast #carolinehobby #malloryervin #missamerica #kentucky #amazingrace #hypercarolinehobby #youtube Learn more about your ad-choices at https://www.iheartpodcastnetwork.com See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Autumn House! This chick is a major powerhouse. She is one of the most influential Women in A&R at UMG Records. So for those of you who don't know what A&R is, basically, Autumn discovers new talent for her label, listens to songs for artists on her label, and helps guide and develop artists as they grow and make music... to name a few things she does. She works closely w stars such as Lady Antebellum, Keith Urban, Luke Bryan, Dierks Bentley to name a feeeeew. And she is just so talented. Autumn has an amazing ear for hit songs. That's why she's one of the best in the biz, and it was my privilege to interview her. Especially since i was so impacted by her when I first moved to town, and was in college at Belmont, and she spoke to us. She said "if you have a backup plan, do that, bc the music business is tough and you can't have a backup plan." Love this woman! Tune in tomorrow to hear us talk about all parts of her job and life, and artist stories that are so interesting! #nashville #carolinehobby #hypercarol

Jenny Gill is in the house! And speaking of house, she just released a new EP called "The House Sessions." It's so real. My favorite song is "Your Shadow," where she addresses what it's like to be Vince Gill's daughter. Jenny is also Amy Grant's step-daughter and toured with her for many years. The life Jenny has lived is incredible. She also is a brand new mother and we talk all about how shaking her booty keeps her in balance... Yep, you'll have to tune in to watch/hear her secret to balance! #hypercarolinehobby #podcast #nashville #jennygill #vincegill Learn more about your ad-choices at https://www.iheartpodcastnetwork.com See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Jillian Jacqueline! This babe is one of the hottest new females on the Country Music Scene! She got her start, at age 9, touring w Kenny Roger's Broadway Show (how amazing is that!?). Jillian then formed a band with her sisters called "The Little Women Band," that they pursued much of her childhood. Jillian has recorded with Vince Gill, Billy Dean and Suzy Bogguss (she was featured on their charting single "Please Keep Mom and Dad in Love" ironically while her parents were divorcing) ... Jillian has been poised and ready for her time to shine for almost 2 decades now- and NOW it is happening. With brand new music including her single "Hate Me" and songs "Reasons" and "Bleachers" gaining much attention, get excited for this new force and face in Country Music! #podcast #nashville #carolinehobby #jillianjacqueline #kennyrogers #vincegill Learn more about your ad-choices at https://www.iheartpodcastnetwork.com See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Noah Guthrie! This guy is so inspiring. He got his start on YouTube when he posted his own version of LMFAO's "I'm Sexy and I Know It." Well, it went viral, getting over 25 million views. A Producer from the hit TV show GLEE found him and thought he would be perfect to play the role of Roderick Meeks, starring opposite Lea Michele (he tells us what's she's like behind the scenes). He just recorded a new album, "The Valley," and it comes out June 23rd and it's just so good. Noah truly believes in the music he's making and does it all for the song, never worrying about the outcome. But it sure looks like the songs have places to go bc he's one of the most exciting new voices emerging. #nashville #podcast #carolinehobby #noahguthrie #lmfao #glee Learn more about your ad-choices at https://www.iheartpodcastnetwork.com See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Luke Pell! You guys may recognize him from being a FrontRunner on JoJo Fletcher's season of "The Bachelorette." We talk alllll about what goes on behind the scenes, how it feels knowing other guys are kissing the girl you are pursuing, that hot tub scene (

Emily West! This girl is a STAR! She has had an amazing journey. Moved to Nashville, got a record deal on Capitol Records (I interned at Capitol when she was signed there, and have been a huge fan of her for years!), sang a DUET w Keith Urban ("Blue Sky"- talk about powerful song and performance!), then moved to NYC on a whim- she went for a weekend trip then didn't come back for a year or so, entered "America's Got Talent," and got 2nd Place (what!), basically 1st place as far as singing, bc a magician beat her... So in my mind, she won for sure. Emily's voice is other worldly. She is in a league of her own. One of the best voices of our generation.... She belongs in the company of Barbara Streisand, Cher, Bette Midler and Judy Garland. #podcast #nashville #hypercarolinehobby #emilywest #carolinehobby Learn more about your ad-choices at https://www.iheartpodcastnetwork.com See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

The Sisterhood! I'm obsessed. I'm not sure how you get cooler, more talented or more beautiful than Alyssa Bonagura and Ruby Stewart. These 2 belong from another era, like the 70's with Stevie Nicks and Cher... But they bring a modern twist to their music and vibe. What they have is magic, and can't quite be defined. Both ladies grew up on the road with traveling musician parents. Ruby is from Rock N Roll Royalty; her dad is Rod Stewart. When they are together it feels like electricity is in the room, you just want to be around it. Hearing about their upbringing both living on the road, finding their own way musically and then joining together by a random stroke of luck in LA, confirms these 2 gals were always destined to be together, make music, and change the world. They even have opposite matching missing front teeth. #carolinehobby #thesisterhood #nashville #podcast #rodstewart #rubystewart #alyssabonagura Learn more about your ad-choices at https://www.iheartpodcastnetwork.com See omnystudio.com/liste
