#CMAFest24: Kolby Cooper talks life lessons from rural roots, new hit “Mama,” and fatherhood

The 51st annual CMA Festival is currently underway in downtown Nashville!

From Thursday to Sunday, roughly 90,000 country music fans hit Broadway to see all their favorite artists and future up-and-comers.

We were able to catch up with our buddy Kolby Cooper!
Kolby comes from rural roots and is making a name for himself not only in Music City but also in the Texas country scene.

He sat down with us to talk about the lessons he learned from his dad, his vulnerable song “Mama,” and how fatherhood has shaped him as an artist.
