Country Music Features

If you find yourself driving through the small town of Shueyville, IA, you’ll most likely run into the waves of golden cornfields, two-lane roads, a single stoplight and locals who love to have a good time. For rising country artist Hailey Whitters, this is home.

Jeremy Ivey has clearly enjoyed thinking about the songs that changed his life; his choices reflecting every part of his childhood, youth and musical awakening.

Holler are proud to present a monthly series of live sessions in partnership with Under The Apple Tree. This March, it's a pleasure to introduce you to the soulful Jack Francis.

The 14-year-old, Fort Worth, Texas-based Americana singer-songwriter is set to release his first full-length studio album, Death of a Hummingbird, on March 4; an album of such incredible scope and beauty it belies his age.

The history of country music has always been written by its misfits; the square pegs that refuse to fit into the round holes that the industry carved out for them. The Kernal has become pivotal for a certain type of non-conformist country music coming out of unexpected places all across America.

Holler spoke to Erin Rae about growing up in Nashville, what living there still means to her and how the city has changed over the 10 years she’s been playing in and around it.
