Live With CDP Talk Show, Guest KC Johns, Nashville Country Music Recording Artist, Season #12, Episode #30, December 16th, 2025
KC Johns newest single, "Best Seat in the House," is a deeply personal tribute to her grandfather and the bond they shared. KC is also running a fan-driven campaign called "Best Seat Stories," open now through December 31st. Fans can share their own tributes to the people who have always been in their corner. KC Johns music is infectious and with dynamic powerhouse pipes that take you on a whiskey-soaked jaunt to your favorite honky-tonk in the best way possible. Think Miranda Lambert meets Sheryl Crow with a touch of Brandi Carlisle, and you’ve got an artist with a voice all her own, with songs that make you feel like you’ve known her forever. Take “Mama didn’t raise no big city pretty girl…” for example. Those are the first words sung by rising Country star KC Johns on her 2024 viral single “Rodeo Queen.” It’s an upbeat rocker, awash with country steel roaring guitars. It’s clear that this is more than just a song. It’s a true story written from the heart. KC’s mom was a champion barrel racer and her stepdad was a bull rider. They fell in love, and a true love story was born. KC always admired their story. Rodeo Queen is a tribute to their story.Born in Memphis, Tennessee and raised in Hernando, Mississippi, a small town along the Tennessee-Mississippi line, KC was surrounded by music for as long as she can remember. Named after KC and the Sunshine Band and raised on the greats like Led Zeppelin, Stevie Nicks, and Sheryl Crow. Like many successful singers, KC started singing at church, but frequent family rodeo excursions made keeping regular attendance difficult. “My mom is a championship barrel racer and my stepdad was a bull rider,”So, by 17, with her acoustic guitar, KC and her mom headed to Nashville to make her dreams of becoming a recording artist a reality. “I just took my guitar and started hitting all the clubs on Broadway asking people if I could sing on stage,” KC adds. One thing led to another, and ultimately she landed an offer to work on Carnival Cruise Lines as a cruise ship performer. “It was supposed to just be a six-month contract but ended up lasting seven years cruising around the world singing for international audiences.’” she says. Having discovered and honed her stage legs young, KC was featured in Dolly Parton’s “Coat of Many#kcjohns #nashvillerecoringartist #countrymusic #songwriter #bestseatinthehouse #chrispomay #livewithcdp #barrycullenchevrolet https://kcjohns.rocks/https://beacons.ai/chrisdpomayhttps://www.cameo.com/chrispomay / kcjohnsmusic https://linktr.ee/kcjohnshttps://kcjohns.rocks/ / kcjohnsmusic https://x.com/kcjohnssshttps://www.barrycullen.com/https://beacons.ai/chrisdpomayWant to create live streams like this?
