In My 30s Episode #6: Caroline Spence | New Album, Tour and Going Independent After Label Deal

A Nashville artist I've long admired, Caroline Spence joins me to talk all about her new album, "Heart Go Wild," upcoming tour with The Lone Below, her decision to be independent after having a label deal, motherhood, social media cringe, songwriting and everything in between. Caroline has released 5 solo albums that have been featured in Rolling Stone, Pitch Fork, and NPR. Her music has garnered more than 100 million streams and she's worked with songwriting legends like Emmylou Harris and Lori McKenna. So grateful to her for joining me on the podcast. Be sure to buy her new album (links below) and see her on tour this November!
