Bellah Mae: From London to Nashville, Keep It Peachy & Her First U.S. Tour

On Episode 306 of Outside The Round, Matt Burrill sits down with UK country artist Bellah Mae to talk about her move from London to Nashville, her new EP Keep It Peachy, and her first-ever U.S. tour alongside Ashley Kutcher. Bellah shares the story behind leaving England to chase her dream in Music City, how a message from Dolly Parton's longtime manager helped kickstart her career, and why Nashville has always felt like home. The conversation also dives into the inspiration behind Keep It Peachy, balancing heartbreak with optimism, writing vulnerable songs like "Love Me Less," and creating the most authentic project of her career. Plus, stories from the road, cultural differences between the UK and the U.S., Ohio becoming a surprise favorite tour stop, and what's next as she continues building her career in America.
