Hannah McFarland: Bar Gigs to Arena Tours, Viral Moments & Life with Chase Rice Fans

On Episode 295 of Outside The Round, Matt Burrill sits down with Alabama native Hannah McFarland. From playing cover gigs at spots like the Bluegill to opening arena tours and hitting major festivals, Hannah shares her journey of putting in the work and finding her moment. She reflects on coming up in the Alabama scene, moving to Nashville, and the full-circle moments like covering “In Case You Didn’t Know” to working with Brett Young, and going from her first arena experience with Zach Bryan to hitting the road on the Riley Green tour. Hannah also talks about her latest release “Missin’ Me”, showing a more fun, up-tempo side of her artistry, while still rooted in the honesty her fans love. The conversation dives into life on the road, navigating viral moments (including dealing with Chase Rice fans), and how Chase has become like a brother to her along the way. With guidance from mentors like Jamey Johnson and a growing fanbase behind her, Hannah is just getting started.
