Live With CDP Talk Show, Guest: Kirstie Kraus, Nashville Country Music Recording Artist, Season #13, Episode #30, April 9th, 2026

Nashville Country Music Recording Artist Kirstie Kraus's brand new single dropped April 3rd You Got That Lovin’. Yes, it's true. For a minute there I thought this song wasn't gonna happen.. We had a studio date booked with our third co-writer, and when things shifted, the whole plan fell apart. I started telling myself maybe it just wasn’t meant to be recorded. But something kept pulling me back to it.. So I trusted my gut and walked into the studio with Mike Loudermilk—just the two of us—taking a chance on something that almost didn’t happen. And by the grace of God, this risk turned into an amazing experience and something I am very proud of!Kirstie Kraus moved to Nashville in 2017 to further pursue her flourishing career as a solo recording artist and songwriter following her time in country-rock bands up in the midwest. The band she had started was named Thirsty Jones - her fans are now nicknamed The Thirsties as an homage to that period and a fun rhyming play on words to her name. Kirstie's unique music style is a blend of modern country with bluesy rock tones and funky bass lines bubbling under the surface.Since permanently relocating to Music City, Kirstie has toured across the US and internationally and has opened for some of country’s biggest stars including Thomas Rhett, Kip Moore, LANCO, Eric Paslay, Brandy Clark, Walker Hayes, Pam Tills, Brothers Osborne, and Randy Houser to name a few. In 2023 her breakout year for the UK arrived with her playing the coveted C2C Festival at the O2 Arena in London. Her fanbase in Britain has grown considerably and her name further rose up the ranks with her 2023 duet single ‘Who Am I Gonna Love’ with Thomas Kavanagh which rendered support from Apple Music, Absolute Radio, BBC Introducing, CountryLine Radio and many more radio and media outlets around the world. The last two years growing success was built on a standout 2022, which saw Kraus releasing her debut album ‘Yes You Can’ which she supported with a six-month headline tour across America - the LP comprised 11 tracks including the hit singles ‘Bird’, ‘Thirsty’, and ‘Silver’. The LP was a roaring success and earned Kraus multiple accolades such as 7x nominations from the Best of Women of Country, and the Josie Music Awards (the largest independent music award show). Having been performing and writing long before the age of 11, Kraus understands the nuances of her artistry and through that, she is able to create songs that showcase her abilities and highlight her signature tone and personality. You only have to take a look at her back catalog and industry support for this independent artist to see that country music is where she belongs and that she is rightly taking Nashville by storm.#kirstiekraus #countrymusicrecordingartist #songwriter #yougotthatlovin #chrispomay #livewithcdptalkshow #barrycullenchevrolet Booking: [email protected] Website: https://www.kirstiekraus.com/Tour: BandsintownLinks: SocialsMusic: ListenPartners: Amazon, RYZE Coffee ☕ (KIRSTIEKRAUS15)Host: CountryLineTVPresident: Music City Phins'25 & '24 RTR Song of the Year'24 Artist of the Year JMAsPre-Save 'You Got That Lovin' out Friday April 3rd!https://beacons.ai/chrisdpomayhttps://www.cameo.com/chrispomay book a personalized video message from yours truly! https://www.paypal.com/paypalme/chris... if you wish to contribute towards my media content on my You Tube Channel. https://www.barrycullen.com/
