That Nashville Girl
“Are you that Nashville girl with the podcast?”
Yep — that’s me.
I’m the girl you see around town with the (patent-pending) bob. The one who can’t stop talking about the artist I just discovered or the songwriter I caught at a writer’s round that somehow changed my life a little. I pick my favorite athletes based on their charities and personalities — not just what they do on the field. And when I go out, I notice everything… the service, the drinks, the lighting, the energy, who’s sitting where and why.
Basically, I’m your unofficial Nashville bestie.
The one who tells you who to listen to before they blow up.
Who you should be paying attention to (and why).
And what actually lives up to the hype in a city that has a lot of it.
And each week, I sit down with someone in this city you might already know — or absolutely should — and we get into the stories, the moments, and the behind-the-scenes stuff that makes you feel like you’re a little more in it than everyone else.
It’s fun, it’s real, it’s a little unfiltered… and it’s the Nashville I love so much!

They Call Nashville a Ten Year Town | Jerry Flowers Knows Why
Use Left/Right to seek, Home/End to jump to start or end. Hold shift to jump forward or backward.
Jerry Flowers has done it all in Nashville — and he's got the stories to prove it. From moving here in 1993 and almost immediately jumping on a plane to Australia with a then-unknown Keith Urban, to spending five years on the road with the Dixie Chicks, to co-writing two number ones in the same year with Sam Hunt, Jerry's career reads like the ultimate Nashville survival guide.
In this episode, we talk about what it really takes to stick it out in a town where everyone can play guitar, why it took Jerry a full ten years after signing his first publishing deal to land his first hit, and what happened when he finally walked into a room with a young, pre-fame Sam Hunt. We also dig into what it felt like when his 25-year run with Keith Urban came to a sudden end — and how Jerry is navigating what comes next with grace, honesty, and a whole lot of songwriter shows.
Plus: Taylor Swift learning by watching from the side of the stage, the magic of a good songwriter night, why CDs are making a comeback, Jerry's first Hinge date (tonight, actually), and we close it out with a live performance of his hit "Chasing After You" — with a little help from yours truly.
If you've ever wondered what it really looks like to build a career in this town — not the highlight reel, the whole messy beautiful thing — this one's for you.
