Trip Tips: Carly Pearce’s Guide To Nashville

Born into the bluegrass brawn of Kentucky, Carly Pearce has never known a moment that country music wasn’t her destined path. At the young age of 11, she began touring with a local band. By 16, she quit high school for a job performing at Dollywood while being homeschooled before moving to Nashville, working odd jobs and playing songwriter rounds for the last nine years. Nashville has suited her well as her debut single "Every Little Thing" found its way to No. 1 on the country music charts in 2017. Carly's career is going places, but for Nashville's sake, we sure hope she sticks around.
