Courtney Cole

Courtney Cole is opening up on the real-life ups and downs that can come along with a career in country music in an eye-opening new video series.

The 2017 Taste of Country Music Festival is in full swing, and so far it's been one big country music and camping party!

During her new song "Free.99" Courtney Cole celebrates the art of scoring free drinks at the bar. It begins with looking your best and might include a little flirting. Think this Louisiana girl is a pro?

Courtney Cole remembers how she reacted when her manager called with news that she'd be opening up Miranda Lambert's Roadside Bars and Pink Guitars Tour last fall.

Miranda Lambert’s Roadside Bars and Pink Guitars Tour wrapped on Saturday night (Oct. 17) in Moline, Ill., and the singer admits she’s bummed about it.

Country newcomer Courtney Cole says she wanted her music video for "Drunk" to feel like a big, Mardi Gras-inspired party. So she called up her best friends and roped her band (although, they came willingly) for the clip, available for the first time during this Taste of Country exclusive premiere.
