For many who are born in Nashville, being surrounded by country music is inevitable.

But not only did Conner Smith grow up listening to the genre, he was introduced to the music industry at a young age by his veteran broadcaster mom, Jennifer Vickery Smith.

“Growing up, my mom was a TV reporter on the local station. But she always loved country music, so she would really kind of raise her hand for all those jobs. She would interview songwriters and artists,” Conner recounts to ABC Audio. “I remember she would go to number-one parties, and she’d pull me out of school every now and then. I remember she pulled me out of school one day to go to the ‘Why Don’t We Just Dance’ Josh Turner number-one party.”

As Conner embraced being a fly on the wall, he started analyzing interviews his mom had with hit songmakers — which later sparked his passion for country songwriting.

“She would interview songwriters, these [legends like] Craig Wiseman, Neil Thrasher, Kelly Lovelace, Tom Douglas. And I would just study these interviews of these guys that were telling the stories of these country songs,” Conner recalls. “That was where, [in] my heart, I was just like, ‘Whatever that is, I have to do that.’ So that’s really where it started for me.” 

Conner’s currently approaching the top 20 on the country charts with his single “Creek Will Rise.”

Tickets for Conner’s fall Creek Will Rise Tour are available now at connersmithmusic.com.

Conner’s mom, Jennifer, also hosts the Got It From My Momma podcast. Check it out at gotitfrommymommapodcast.com.

As Ashley McBryde celebrates her new album, The Devil I Know, she’s revisiting her childhood and sharing some of her music influences. 

“When I was growing up, I loved listening to such a wide variety of music,” says Ashley. “One of my favorite vocalists is still Ronnie Milsap. I love Karen Carpenter, classic country and really musical soundtracks.”

Her love for musical soundtracks came from none other than her mom.

“My mom was big in the musicals,” she shares. “And I was lucky enough to be steeped in that from a really young age.”

Ashley’s currently top 20 on the country charts with “Light On In The Kitchen.” The heartwarming track serves as the lead single off The Devil I Know, out now.
