On Episode 321 of Outside The Round, Matt Burrill sits down with rising artist Cloe Hubbard for her first-ever podcast appearance. Just five months after moving to Nashville from Santa Cruz, California, Cloe talks about diving headfirst into Music City, playing her first writers rounds almost immediately and quickly becoming part of the Raised Rowdy community. Cloe takes us back to singing outside a San Francisco bar at nine years old, playing three-hour acoustic gigs as a teenager and growing up on a wide mix of influences ranging from Johnny Cash and Merle Haggard to Nirvana, Amy Winehouse, Tyler Childers and Sierra Ferrell. She also opens up about the heavier stories behind songs like “The Devil’s Back,” “Men Used to Go to War” and her perspective-flipping version of Whiskey Myers’ “Broken Window Serenade,” and why connecting with listeners through vulnerable songs means so much to her. The guys also dive into the unbelievable story behind “Barrel of Her Gun” with City Creed — from writing it casually around a campfire to a viral social clip, a last-minute flight to Argentina and recording the song almost immediately to meet the demand from fans. Cloe talks about embracing spontaneity, developing a sound that's entirely her own and what's ahead as she prepares new music and plans to hit the road in 2027.
