    Sammy Kershaw ~ “The Voice of 90s Country”

    Send a text Sitting down with Sammy Kershaw inside the legendary Frank Sinatra dressing room at the Golden Nugget in Las Vegas felt like stepping into living music history. Surrounded by the echoes of iconic performances, we talked about his Louisiana roots, the rise of his 90s country hits like “She Don’t Know She’s Beautiful” and “Cadillac Style,” and what it means to stay true to traditional country in an ever-changing industry. Sammy was candid, reflective, and full of stories from the road—sharing hard-earned lessons, career highs, and the passion that still drives him to the stage. It was one of those surreal Musical Miles moments where the setting matched the stature of the artist, and country music history felt very much alive. Thank you Mr. Kershaw!

    Hannah Belle ~ Loaded with Southern Charm and Talent

    Send a text Along with her Southern Charm and musical DNA, Hannah Belle has all the makings of being a Country Music Star! Raised in a musical family with her Preacher Rockstar daddy you might say Hannah didn't choose a career in music, it chose her. She tells us she has been singing since before she could really even talk, loud and proud in church from the sweet age of 3. She has always been passionate about music, and told her parents from a very young age that she wanted to be a Country Music Star like fellow Mississippian Faith Hill. We sat down with Hannah at Slow Burn Records in Whitefish, MT during the Whitefish Songwriter Festival where we hosted the interviews for their "Coffee and Conversation" Series. Give it a listen to the end to hear an original song from Hannah.

    Send a text There is REAL HOPE for the FUTURE of COUNRY MUSIC ~ MAE ESTES! We sat down with rising country music star Mae Estes for a conversation that proves the future of country music is in good hands. With her Hope, Arkansas roots, powerhouse vocals, and a deep respect for traditional country storytelling, Mae shared how her journey from small-town beginnings to the Nashville spotlight has shaped her sound and her work ethic.

    Brice Long's Journey to #1~ with Hits like "Nothing on but the radio"

    Send a text Absolutely one of our favorite songwriters, we had the privilege of sitting down for our second interview with Nashville #1 hitmaker Brice Long in beautiful Whitefish during the songwriter festival. Once again hosted at Slow Burn Records as part of “Coffee and Conversations,” this follow-up visit felt even deeper and more relaxed — like catching up with an old friend who just happens to be one of Nashville’s finest craftsmen. Brice reflected on the evolution of his songwriting journey, the stories behind his No. 1 hits, and what continues to inspire him creatively. There’s something special about revisiting a conversation with a true hitmaker, and this one was filled with insight, authenticity, and the kind of storytelling that reminds us why great songs always start with great writers. Brice has had close to 200 cuts, with hits like "Nothing on but the radio" No. 1 cut by Gary Allen,  "Like a Cowboy" a chart topper for Randy Houser, "Heartache on the dance floor" John Pardi, and "Hey Cowgirl" Randall King are just a few of our Brice Long favorites.

    Caden Gillard ~ From Louisiana Bayou to BigTime

    Send a text During our interview with Caden Gillard and his band, we dug into the real-life stories that fuel his music—from growing up in Louisiana and surviving childhood leukemia to life on the rodeo circuit as a professional bull rider before fully committing to music. Caden also opened up about stepping into a brand-new role as a father and how that season of life is already influencing his perspective, priorities, and songwriting. Joined by his band, we talked about life on the road, the chemistry behind their high-energy live shows, and how blending red dirt grit, honky-tonk roots, and rock-and-roll edge helps them connect with fans through honest, lived-in songs.
