It is a special moment in a Country Artist's life when they hear one of their songs on the radio for the first time. It proves to them that all their countless days of striving toward their dreams through the many challenges was well worth it.
That very moment happened for Kayla McKinney on the night of November 30th, 2022 when she got the news, just hours before it aired, that "These Two Barstools" would be played on 101.7-FM WPTL in Canton, North Carolina at 9:22pm. It was fellow musician of Balsam Range and Radio Host Tim Surrett who blessed McKinney with her chance to be heard.
