Growing up in Kentucky… Wildcats fan for sure, finished college early and packed it up and moved straight to Nashville. Lived in an artist loft housing with other musicians and met her husband Nick Wayne. Look him up, another cool artist for sure!
We talked highlights in her career so far, one of them being playing the The Grand Ole Opry! We talked about her experiences on the road with artists like Russell Dickerson and Carly Pearce. We talked idols in country music and a dream show consisting of Martina McBride, Taylor Swift, Carley Pearce and….
I asked about an artist not on your radar… Jonathan Hutcherson… We should all check him out.
We played this or that with Taylor Swift, Morgan Wallen. We talked the best Pizza in Nashville. Guilty pleasure for food… Playing C2C.. the crowd knowing all of her music. Sharing the stage with Breland overseas, having a boujee husband and so much more… we talked festivals vs arenas vs venues, what she loves about each one.

Curb Records recording artist and country music singer / songwriter Hannah Ellis’ journey – and world – is one all can feel at home in. The Campbellsville, Kentucky-native’s voice – a mix of favorite flannel, sparkling pink wine and welcome – is the friend we always wanted. Whether pouring from a car radio or your phone, the act named to Rolling Stone’s “Artist To Watch” list reminds you big leaps often come as a series of small steps when no one is looking. Having paid for her University of Kentucky degree with her full-ride scholarship, she – with the full support of her family – started chasing her dreams. Like so many, that meant a trip to The Voice on NBC, a self-financed EP, and moving to Nashville to begin the endless rounds of writers nights, meetings, making friends, and trying to find your way.
Hannah paid her dues, kept her focus and kept moving towards something she was sure she felt and knew was right. The fresh-faced songwriter has since written songs recorded by artists, and been featured as a vocalist on songs, spanning multiple genres, including: Russell Dickerson, Carly Pearce, for KING & COUNTRY, Emily Weisband, Cassadee Pope, Filmore, and Sidewalk Prophets. The magnetic artist, who will make her Grand Ole Opry debut on September 28, has toured with Gavin DeGraw, Dwight Yoakam, Devin Dawson, and many others, and has toured as part of the CMT “Next Women of Country” Tour. Ellis was invited back by her college alma mater to be featured in a national television advertising campaign about pursuing and achieving your dreams. Hannah Ellis’ “Home And A Hometown” released on August 27, 2021 on Curb Records, with more music to follow.
