Michaela Anne is the Quintessential Indie Artist
About this episode
Michaela Anne discusses the challenges and triumphs of being an indie artist and balancing her personal and professional life.
Singer-songwriter Michaela Anne just may be the quintessential indie artist, one for whom the hustle never stops. She’s a working mom, a podcast host with her husband and bandmate, and the one in charge of keeping her music coming. Michaela Anne, who crowd-funded her new album These Are the Days, talks about the struggle to balance it all in an especially candid episode of Rolling Stone’s Nashville Now podcast, which dives deep into what it takes to stay on the road as a touring artist. Some days are harder than others, like a merch debacle that left her in tears, while others provide big wins: Michaela Anne will perform at Rolling Stone’s Stateside Festival this July Fourth. It’s an unvarnished look at the life of a musician, only on Nashville Now. Country is Here… Nashville is Now. Check out our Hear Now playlist on Spotify, updated weekly.
