Married to the Music with Hanley Riggs

Filmore and his wife Paige, share the real story behind their relationship, balancing music, medicine, parenthood, and life on the road while navigating the highs and challenges behind the scenes of the industry.

Brittney Johnson, wife of country artist Jamey Johnson, joins Married to the Music to share her story of building a career as an attorney, falling into an unexpected love story, and navigating marriage in the country music industry. From a tight-knit childhood in Mississippi to graduating from Ole Miss Law and making her mark in the courtroom, Brittney had a clear, driven path until one unexpected meeting changed everything. She opens up about meeting Jamey at a governor’s inauguration, not even knowing who he was, their instant connection, and the moment he “proposed” just days later, only half-kidding. And yes… they got married because what’s a casual, low-key life decision without a little country music chaos? Brittney gets real about what it actually looked like to leave behind her identity as a trial lawyer, move to Nashville, and figure out life and love in the music industry from long distance and time on the road to rebuilding her sense of self and creating balance in a completely new world.
