Girls Gone Country

From Montana to Nashville and filled with heart, stories and real emotion: in this episode of Girls Gone Country, we sit down with country artist Nicole Croteau to talk about her roots in Montana, taking the leap to Nashville and why music can sometimes be the best kind of therapy. Nicole opens up about her journey as a songwriter, the doubts and challenges along the way, her family, grief, new beginnings and the importance of telling honest stories through country music. We dive into everything from Yellowstone and mountain life to emotional songs that make people cry and why those vulnerable moments often create the deepest connections. We also talk about her new EP, upcoming projects, Nashville dreams, the growing country scene in Germany, and of course all the things country fans love most: Chris Stapleton, Riley Green, baseball, dogs and the magic of concerts where a song suddenly feels like it was written just for you. A heartfelt episode full of warmth, depth, laughter, and true country soul somewhere between Germany and Nashville... ++ check out ++ @nicolecroteaumusic // www.nicolecroteau.com

Sunshine State vibes, Berlin chaos and a missed flight - this episode has it all. We sat down in London with rising country artist McCoy Moore fresh off an unforgettable weekend in Berlin, where things got so wild he literally missed his flight. From rebooking while hungover to somehow making it in time for a show in Munich, this one already starts like a movie. We talk about his brand new single “Sunshine State”, the title track of his upcoming album dropping May 22, and how he’s bringing those laid-back Florida vibes all the way to stages in London. But this episode goes way beyond the music. From favorite chip flavors (Thai Sweet Chicken takes the crown) to wild 4th of July beach nights in Florida, we get into the stories behind the songs. McCoy shares how he finds inspiration in everyday conversations, even random moments like meeting fans… or singing ideas into his phone in the shower. We also dive into life between Nashville and Florida, dream trucks (including a vintage F-150 that still needs some love) and the kind of real-life experiences that shape his sound. It’s raw, funny, a little chaotic and exactly what you’d expect from a conversation with McCoy Moore. If you’re into country music, storytelling and those “how did we even survive that night?” kind of memories, this one’s for you.

In dieser Folge von Girls Gone Country nehmen wir euch mit auf unseren ganz persönlichen C2C-Trip durch Berlin und London. Zwei wilde Wochenenden, jede Menge Musik, unvergessliche Live-Momente, erste Interviews mit Künstlern und ganz viel Country-Liebe. Wir sprechen darüber, warum sich C2C Berlin für uns wie ein kleines Country-Camp mit Herz anfühlt, während London zwar größer, aber auch deutlich anonymer war. Außerdem geht’s um unsere Highlights, Lieblingsauftritte, überraschende Begegnungen, lustige Interview-Momente und die Frage: Wo fühlt sich Country eigentlich am meisten nach Zuhause an? Mit dabei: unsere Eindrücke zu Artists wie Cameron Marlowe, Scotty McCreery, Russell Dickerson, Jade Eagleson, Max Jackson, Emily Ann Roberts, McCoy Moore und vielen mehr. Eine Folge voller Backstage-Gefühle, Post-C2C-Depression, ehrlicher Eindrücke und der Erkenntnis: Country ist nicht nur Musik - es ist ein Gefühl, eine Community und manchmal auch einfach ein komplettes Paralleluniversum.

For the very first episode of Girls Gone Country Talk we couldn’t have asked for a more fitting guest than Tyler Sjöström. Tyler has been back to Berlin several times now and when he talks about C2C, it doesn’t sound like just another tour stop. It sounds like coming home. Like pulling into a driveway where the porch light’s already on and someone’s waiting inside. There’s something about this festival that feels less like an event and more like a gathering - a little family that reconnects once a year. That’s exactly how it felt for us, too. In this conversation, Tyler opens up about what country music really means to him. Not just a genre. Not just a sound. But storytelling. Real stories. Songs with a little dust on their boots and truth in their bones. The kind of songs that don’t try to be perfect - they just try to be honest. We talk about the special energy of the Berlin crowd, the way artists and fans connect here and why country music seems to be growing all over the world right now. In a time when so much feels polished, filtered, or artificially created, there’s something powerful about standing on a stage with nothing but a guitar and a story that actually happened. One of the most touching parts of the episode is when Tyler shares about the “Sad Song Society” rounds — intimate songwriter circles where artists don’t just perform, they explain. They laugh. Sometimes they choke up. They let you see where the song came from. And in those moments, you realize vulnerability isn’t weakness - it’s the bridge. He also speaks candidly about self-doubt and impostor syndrome and how even as an artist, there are days when you don’t quite feel worthy of the title. His wife, he says, is often the one who reminds him of the truth when his inner voice gets too loud. That kind of grounding love. At the end, Tyler plays “Ain’t No Good,” a deeply personal song about those quiet battles inside your own head. And for a moment, everything slows down. It’s just a voice, a guitar and a room full of us listening. This episode feels like sitting around a farmhouse kitchen table after sunset. Warm light. Open windows. Honest conversation. No rush. Just music that means something. We can’t wait to see him back in Berlin and we can’t wait for you to hear this one.
