NASH Nights Live’s Elaina Smith Launches Series Highlighting Female Country Artists

NASH Nights Live co-host Elaina Smith has teamed up with Nash Country Daily for an ongoing series featuring female country artists. The profiled artists will be featured on 90 websites under the Cumulus Media umbrella and more than 130 radio stations across the nation, with a reach of 400,000 people on Twitter and 180,000 people on Facebook.

In her debut post, Smith explains what readers can expect in future posts and curates her first #WomenWantToHearWomen Playlist. Each article will feature a female country artist with an accompanying opinion piece, interview, podcast, or playlist. Smith is making this a team effort, inviting readers and listeners to work with her to decide who will be featured and what they want to ask the artists.

The playlist currently features 14 artists, including Cam, Ashley McBryde, Clare Dunn, Abby Anderson, Maren Morris, Cassadee Pope, Kacey Musgraves, Stephanie Quayle, RaeLynn, Leah Turner, Lindsay Ell, Caitlyn Smith, Rachel Wammack and Kassi Ashton.
