You will absolutely love Nicole Croteau’s new song, “Who Do You Love” released today (January 19, 2024! Listen here. “Who Do You Love,” is about accepting and even embracing the changes that happen in life. Change can be scary, but it can also be a great thing that opens new doors for us to explore. For Nicole, this song is specifically about changes in her relationship with her husband. Their love story spans over many stages of life and, of course, people change as they age and learn about themselves and the world around them.
“I had this moment of ‘Oh shoot, I don’t know if I am the same person anymore, the same 19 year old girl that he fell in love with. I wonder if he still loves me as much as that girl he met all those years ago,” Nicole tells us. The reflection this song inspires helped both Nicole and her husband get through those times of “what if” and are still happily married to this day. Even though this song is about her relationship, Nicole really wants her listeners to take away the lesson that it’s okay to change. Change is good and we can always learn from it, especially when we can sit back and reflect on the before and after of any big changes life has to throw at us. She wants to encourage listeners to love where they are at in life, at any stage, and learn to embrace life as a whole. After “having the busiest year of [her] life,” Nicole is ready for a year full of new music. After living in Nashville the past 10 years and mostly writing for other artists, Nicole is set to put out her own music and perform it. However, she will continue to write for other artists, saying “I think I will always be a songwriter first because that is really who I am. I love helping people tell their stories and love hearing them sing the music we write together.” Her plan is to release a new single every 6-8 weeks and put out her first EP this summer. She’ll even be making an appearance on the Anzie Blue stage with The Women of Country on March 4th, so make sure to mark your calendars and visit nicolecroteau.com to learn more!

Reminisce on last year and get excited for the new year with Maggie Baugh as she releases her new song, “’24”! Listen here. She had a year full of exciting highs, including playing at the Ryman for the first time, solo tours, touring with the band Home Free, and releasing her debut album- “2023 definitely set me up to have big expectations for 2024!”
Maggie’s new song, “’24,” is all set to be released today, January 12th. “This song was written for anyone who is leaving someone or something in the past. It is a feeling we all relate to, and I hope it can bring as much hope and healing to others as it brought me.” Co-written with her friends, Elena Jones, Tyler Bank, and Andra Cappa, this song is both a reflection of our past and a window looking into the future. And make sure to listen for the song’s guitar solos and some of the heavier base guitars because Maggie shows off her many musical talents in “’24”. Keep an eye out for a music video that is in the works for this great song! Maggie started writing and singing because she got bullied in school when she was younger. She needed an escape from reality and a channel to be able to feel and work through her emotions. Her music turned from an escape to something more tangible when Maggie went to a festival in North Carolina when she was younger. At the festival, she met a female artist named Caroline Cole, who told her to “play everywhere and anywhere because you never know who’s watching”. This piece of advice has stuck with Maggie for her whole life, and is one of the reasons why she loves touring and playing new venues so often. Music has become Maggie’s escape, her career, her passion over the years, and that spark of inspiration began at a festival in North Carolina in the form of the wise words of Caroline Cole. Maggie Baugh has a fun year ahead of her, taking her music international for the very first time with some Europe tour dates already booked throughout the UK, as well as US touring in states like Florida, Oregon, California, and much more. Maggie reflects on her music career, saying that “There’s a lot of things we as people don’t agree on in the world, but one thing I love about music is that it brings us together- when music is playing, it feels like we are all on the same page”. With that beautiful sentiment, Maggie courageously shares her music with anyone and everyone as she goes into this new year- make sure to support her in this journey and follow along her 2024 adventures! It’s a good idea to listen to Kasey Tyndall’s new song “Bad for Me” here! This is the first song off her new project that will mark a poignant milestone in Tyndall’s career, delving into the depths of vulnerability and autobiography like never before. It's a testament to her unique blend of country and rock. In a striking example, the track "Bad For Me" gives us a glimpse into Tydall’s unapologetic exploration of her attraction to the "bad-boy" type. She candidly sings, "Cuz I’m so messed up, I need someone, who shakes me up but makes me feel alive. If he ain’t a little bad for me, if he ain’t a little rough around the edges, we won’t last a week." Co-produced with Derek Wells, “Bad For Me” is a song about needing someone as crazy as you are. Tyndall’s raw honesty and powerful storytelling will undoubtedly resonate with a wide audience.
Along with her professional career, Kasey has been keeping herself busy as a new mom, even taking her daughter, Sterling, on the road with her! She says, “Being a mom is my favorite role yet! She is a gift from God and makes mine and my husband's life so much richer. Taking her on the road has its challenges not being on a bus yet but Sterling is such a good baby and makes traveling with her as easy as possible.” Tyndall has had a very successful 2023, she has been on tour opening for Ashley McBryde. Telling us, “Ashley is one of my favorite people in Nashville. She was one of my very first cowrites after moving to town. She has always been a great friend and gives the best advice when it comes to this crazy ride. It has been an absolute honor to open for her and her band! They put on one of the best live shows I’ve seen and her fans are the best!” In addition to touring with McBryde, Kasey has had the honor of playing at The Ryman Auditorium with Old Crow Medicine Show and made her Opry debut in July. “I was so blessed to be able to make my Opry debut on my birthday. It was a day filled with my closest friends and family who have been there for me on my journey. My favorite part was being able to share my debut with them. I can’t wait to be on that stage again.” Kasey has a very exciting year ahead of her, she’s most looking forward to releasing a new record and hitting the stage more!
