This week on Ladies Love Country we chat with Max Jackson. From the rise of her iconic trucker hats to the moment she got caught out at Fresh Country. She shares a wild wedding story, Nick from the Wet Whistles drops some juicy secrets, and we even play matchmakers for a country music couple. Plus, Max gives us the scoop on her jam-packed tour and festival season, hitting Groundwater, Deni Ute Muster, and Savannah in the Round!

He’s back!!!

James Johnston is officially our first repeat guest and he did not disappoint. We chat about his brand-new single (coming sooner than you think), the music video he shot at Gympie that might just feature a sneaky Ladies Love Country cameo, and his surprising new favourite mode of transport. Plus, we plot how to get James and Jordan Davis on stage together. Ladies, we’re gonna need your help to make this dream happen!

This week we’re joined by Josh Setterfield, and let’s just say things don’t exactly go to plan. Yes, he actually walks out mid-interview but don’t worry, he can’t stay away for long. We dive into why country music is the place to be right now, what exciting projects Josh has on the horizon, and the unexpected moment that leaves Grace blushing. Plus, after some serious prying, Josh finally spills on his cowgirl crush and trust us, you will not believe who it is.

Please welcome the newest member of Ladies Love Country, Wade Forster. The real-life Aussie cowboy.

From kicking off his American tour to blushing harder than we’ve ever seen, Wade proves he’s as entertaining off-stage as he is on it. Plus, we may have accidentally signed ourselves up for barrel racing and working on his family station… send help.

Trust us, if there’s one episode to lasso your attention… it’s this one!

Jake Whittaker joins us fresh off Gympie and somehow the chaos of late-night shenanigans, psychic predictions, and farm animal naming lessons all make sense in one episode.

We swap Gympie highlights and get blown away by his secret vocal party trick.

Grace declares her undying love for Big Gav (again) and we get schooled on hobby farm life. We reveal our borderline obsessive love for Zac Brown Band complete with our desperate hopes of catching them live when they land in Australia this October.

If you’ve ever wondered what happens when country chaos, pigs, and Zac Brown Band fangirling collide… this is it.

Get ready, because Travis Collins does not hold back in this chat.

We cover everything from his sack-off showdown with Lane Pittman, to his pre-show rituals that keep him stage-ready. Travis spills on who’s creeping onto his turf, why this year’s Gympie Music Muster was the biggest he’s ever seen, and why Australia will always have his heart.

Plus: the time he ugly cried on stage, some truly regrettable tattoo choices, and more chaos than we bargained for.

Buckle up, cowboys and cowgirls. This one’s a ride.

We’re fresh off the Gympie Music Muster, spilling on our favourite performances, the new artist obsession we can’t shut up about and why Gympie is perfect for anyone who is country curious.

Next stop? Deni Ute Muster and yes, we’ve made the ultimate “must-do” checklist so you don’t end up lost in the Ute paddock (although we highly recommend it).

We get way too hyped about the CMC Rocks line-up, Grace may or may not have manifested her cowboy crush into existence. Plus, we dream up a Ladies Love Country pool party, make some slightly delusional Stagecoach predictions, and Grace has to double-check if one of her picks is… still alive.

It’s chaotic and it’s why you keep coming back.

Buckle up (literally) because Gympie’s international ambassador Dan Davidson joins us for a wild ride.

We’re talking his brand new single buckle rubbin, his leap into morning radio in Canada, and he tests out his Aussie accent on us. Plus, he spills on what it’s really like playing the iconic Bluebird Cafe in Nashville.
