A Whole Lotta Heart with a Dash of Country Flair - Josie Birdsong’s Journey Into Music By: Abigail Heckel Local up-and-coming country icon Josie Birdsong recently joined the News Makers podcast, sitting in with host Greg Enslen and guest host Cailey Petsch. Birdsong, a Christian country singer and songwriter, spoke about her goals to reach the stars and beyond and shared the steps that fueled her rise. Birdsong began her singing journey by covering popular songs and uploading them to social media, a move that helped her gain attention in the country scene.
