Show notes

This is MY GIRL!! One of the greatest humans I have had the blessing to be friends with. Amara Hall is pure soul. She has been behind the scenes working in the music industry for years. Many people may not have even known she is a Spoken Word Artist. Oh, but she is. She understands people so well. She knows how to listen and how to heal. She has so much wisdom to share. I said it before and I'll say it again, she is a mix between Maya Angelou and Oprah and Alicia Keys. #amarahall #carolinehobby #podcast #nashville #spokenwordartist

Skip Bishop Apr 19, 2017

Show notes

Skip Bishop! This guy is magical. Like a magical musical wizard. He has been the VP of Sony Promotions as well as VP of Arista Promotions- working in the music business for over 40 years. We talk about everything. How he got into radio as a kid with a cardboard box where he would entertain the whole neighborhood, pretending to be on air. He talks about artist he has worked with such as Carrie Underwood, Alan Jackson, Kellie Pickler to name a few. We cover how important radio is to an artist's career and all the ins and outs of the music biz. Skip is one of a kind. Once you meet him, you will NEVER forget. He's such an original in every way. He also was my boss when He hired me to work at his label Hit Shop Records in Promotions a few years ago. It was one of the most enlightening experiences of my life. #CarolineHobby #Nashville #Podcast #SkipBishop #CarrieUnderwood #AlanJackson

Jimmy Harnen Mar 22, 2017

Show notes

Jimmy is a rockstar- I'm not kidding- he had a huge pop hit "Where Are You Now," before becoming EVP of the entire Big Machine Label Group as well as being President of BMLG Records (which is one of the 5 labels in the Big Machine Label Group). His story is amazing. He started as an artist, and over time switched to the business side of the music industry where he has broken acts like Luke Bryan, Eric Church, Darius Rucker and most recently A Thousand Horses and Brett Young. We talk all about what goes into picking a single, signing an artist, and the power of radio. Jimmy also is just a great guy and family man to the core. #carolinehobby #bigmachine #lukebryan #ericchurch #dariusrucker #athousandhorses #brettyoung #podcast #nashville

Marcus Hummon Mar 15, 2017

Show notes

Marcus Hummon! This man is one of the most interesting guys I know. He's truly is a citizen of the world, growing up in Italy, Africa, and the Philippines to name a few. He got a record deal in 1986 and then shortly after started getting cuts with some of the biggest artists in Country Music at the time including Wynonna "Only Love," Alabama "Cheap Seats," and has only continued to have smash hits with Tim McGraw's "One of These Days," and Sara Evan's huge breakout hit "Born To Fly." He then linked up with the Dixie Chicks and cowrote my FAV song ever "Cowboy Take Me Away," and "Ready To Run." In 2005, Marcus won a Grammy for Best Country Song with his Rascal Flatts hit "God Bless The Broken Road." This man has TALENT FOR DAYS. He is also married to Becca Stevens, an Episcopal Priest, who launched the incredible Thistle Farms which is "a sanctuary for healing for women survivors of abuse, addiction, trafficking, and prostitution." Marcus and his wife truly are helping to heal the world. #nashville #podcast #carolinehobby #marcushummon #songwriter #hitsongwriter #thistlefarms

Brittany Aldean Mar 08, 2017

Show notes

Brittany Williams! I love this girl. And yes, she is even more gorgeous on the inside than she is on the outside which is almost impossible to believe! I got to know Britt last year when A Thousand Horses toured with her hubby Jason Aldean, and it was instant love for me. She is a makeup guru, she has pop-up classes all over the country helping teach women beauty secrets to make them feel beautiful and empowered. Brittany loves helping women feel good about themselves. Her YouTube page is full of all sorts of makeup tutorials from everyday looks to super intense awesome Halloween looks. She also may as well be St. Francis because this gorgeous creature is going to save all the animals. #nashville #podcast #carolinehobby #jasonaldean #youtube

Ali Ryan Mar 01, 2017

Show notes

Ali Ryan! This chick styles/cuts/colors ALL the stars; I'm talking FGL and their wives, Thomas Rhett and his wife Lauren, Jason Aldean and his wife Brittany, Dan and Shay and their fiancés, Miranda Lambert, Kasey Musgraves, Kelsea Ballerini, Michael Ray, Jake Owen, just to name a few. She literally has her hands in everyone's hair! She also co-owns The Dry House with Dierks Bentley's wife Cassidy. Star power for days. Ali and her stylists don't just do celebrities though, they are the premier blow dry bar for anyone in Nashville who wants their hair to look fab. And this place is not just going to give you great hair, it's going to give you a great time while you're there. There's always music, champagne, and a fun crew every time you step into The Dry House. I am lucky enough to go every week with my #NashvilleInsider babe Lindsey Caldwell to get us camera ready, and it's always a high spot of my week. Ali also believes in the power of manifesting your dreams, hustling and living the life you imagine. #nashville #podcast #thedryhouse #carolinehobby #fashion #hair

Maggie Rose Feb 22, 2017

Show notes

MAGGIE ROSE! This chick is fire! Back when she was in High School the label executive legend Tommy Mottola realized her talent and helped her score a record deal. She has been making music and making waves ever since. She released a new EP "The Variety Show" last year and it showed us even more what she is capable of as an artist and how talented she is- "Same Sky" is my JAM off that EP. She also has been named one of CMT's Next Women of Country and just got a song cut by Lady Gaga! And to top it off, her heart is just as big as her talent. #podcast #nashville #CMT #maggierose #carolinehobby #ladygaga

Lucie Silvas Feb 15, 2017

Show notes

Lucie Silvas! This interview was a pure delight! And in the spirit of love (since it is Valentine's Day), how fitting that Lucie's husband John kicked off this interview, interviewing Lucie! He asked her a lot of personal questions, like how much she loved his big, sexy.... beard! Lucie and John then talked all about Lucie's incredible album they co-produced together, "Letters To Ghosts," and what the experience was like working together in the studio. Lucie is from Europe and has been writing songs, playing and singing since she was a wee little thing at the age of 10. At the age of 17 she hit the road touring as a background singer and then went on to score a record deal and sell A MILLION ALBUMS! I repeat, Lucie Silvas has sold A MILLION ALBUMS. Woah. She now is a Nashville Native and has toured with everyone from Little Big Town to Chris Stapleton. She is the tiniest, most stunning creature with the most enormous voice and soul. She has been named one of CMT's Next Women of Country, and Rolling Stone just debuted her trilogy of music videos she made for her album "Letters To Ghosts." Lucie is one of the purest spirits I know; her passion for sharing her gift of music is inspiring and the way she loves her husband, family and friends so fiercely is something nothing short of extraordinary. Oh, and John and his brother TJ, Brothers Osborne, just won CMA Duo Of the year! John tells us how that moment felt in detail! #Nashville #podcast #luciesilvas #carolinehobby #brothersosborne #cmt #womenofcountry
