How Cody Hibbard Went From Oil Fields to The Road with Keith Urban

Country artist Cody Hibbard joins That Nashville Girl to talk about life before music, going viral online, and how he ended up on Keith Urban’s CBS show The Road. Before national TV and nearly a million monthly listeners, Cody was working in the oil and gas industry, hauling trash with his family in Oklahoma, and playing songs in a small Texas bar after someone told him, “You don’t sound like you look.” In this episode, Cody opens up about: *  His journey from the oil fields to country music  *  Being adopted from South Korea and growing up in Oklahoma  *  Why he almost turned down The Road *  The song for his daughter that stopped audiences in their tracks  *  Social media fame and his hilarious online videos  *  Addiction, recovery, fatherhood, and starting over  *  Building a loyal fanbase without chasing Nashville trends  *  Working with John Daly  *  The real work ethic behind making it in country music  Plus, Cody performs “Had I Been a Boy” and his new song “Barrel Gone Bad” live in studio.

Everyone Should Be Talking About Angie K

There are some people you interview and immediately think: “Everyone should know this person.” That was this conversation with Angie K. Before music, Angie worked in a Mustang junkyard pulling engines. She couch surfed across America. Lived in a horse barn. Worked on cruise ships. Auditioned for The Voice and American Idol over and over again until she made it. Met her wife on a cruise ship. And somehow became the voice Disney uses during their nightly fireworks show. And that still barely scratches the surface. This conversation is funny, honest, inspiring, wildly human, and one of my favorite interviews I’ve done in a long time. We talk about music, identity, Nashville, taking chances on yourself, refusing to fit a mold, and why Angie K feels like the kind of artist people become lifelong fans of. Also: her new music is SO good — and she performs “Contigo” live at the end of the episode. You'll have it on repeat all summer!

Craig Wayne Boyd + His Next Big Hit (You Heard It Here First)

Craig Wayne Boyd is on That Nashville Girl — and he brought his next big hit with him. From winning The Voice to building a global touring career, Craig’s journey is anything but typical. And in this episode, he gets real about everything it took to get here — the setbacks, the resets, and the moments that could’ve ended it all. We get into: *  His early days chasing a Nashville dream that didn’t come easy  *  What really happens after you win The Voice  *  Losing deals, starting over, and choosing to keep going anyway  *  Life now — touring internationally, raising five kids, and doing it all on his terms  And then… the moment. Craig introduces his brand new single “She Haw” (out June 5), inspired by his wife Taylor — who also joins us for a special appearance that makes this episode even more fun. This one is part story, part behind-the-scenes, and part “you’re hearing it here before everyone else.” Trust me — you’re going to have this song on repeat all summer.
