Mae Estes: The 90s Called

Mae Estes joins Whiskey Riff Raff to talk 90s country, the realities of making a living in music, and why staying true to yourself matters more than ever. From singing the national anthem at just seven years old to making the move to Nashville inspired by Dolly Parton, Mae shares the experiences that shaped her journey as an artist. She opens up about the pressure to create controversy on social media, the fear of being misunderstood online, and why being genuine can sometimes be mistaken for complaining. Mae also weighs in on artists leaning into the 90s country sound, collaborating with Shenandoah, and why that era of country music is just as relevant today. Plus, she gets real about the rising costs of touring, the financial challenges artists face, and the life-changing advice she received from Ashley McBryde. And, of course, we couldn't let her leave without naming her Mount Rushmore of 90s country artists!
