Michaela Anne is the Quintessential Indie Artist

Singer-songwriter Michaela Anne just may be the quintessential indie artist, one for whom the hustle never stops. She’s a working mom, a podcast host with her husband and bandmate, and the one in charge of keeping her music coming.

It’s an unvarnished look at the life of a musician, only on Nashville Now.   Country is Here… Nashville is Now.

Tedeschi Trucks Band Survive the Bonnaroo Storm

In a Nashville Now first, Rolling Stone’s country music podcast goes to Bonnaroo for a live episode with the Tedeschi Trucks Band.

The band talk about the logistics and finances of touring with a 12-piece band, the new album Future Soul, and the three artists they think everyone needs to know. It’s a wet and chaotic episode of Nashville Now, live from the Farm at Bonnaroo. Country is Here… Nashville is Now.
