Mae Estes
Mae Estes is country through and through, but as she explains in this episode, when she arrived in Nashville she felt too country for country! Fast forward 10 years and all her hard work is paying off, as people are falling in love with her throwback sound, her powerful voice, and her smart storytelling. Here, she tells Ben about her young life in Arkansas, and how some of the tough things she went through ended up being the perfect material for writing country songs. She explains how she learned early on the importance of hard work and how that could be her ticket out of her hometown, but the more she achieves in music, Mae admits that she grapples with what success means to her. Mae also shares one of the best full circle moments when it comes to the Grand Ole Opry, and recounts a real story that will restore your faith in love again.
