KC Johns – Rodeo Queen

Nashville recording artist KC Johns releases Rodeo Queen this Friday. It’s an upbeat rocker, awash with country steel and roaring guitars. Rodeo Queen features an edgy hook topped with a personal touch. KC’s mom was a world-champion barrel racer, and her stepdad was a bull rider. They fell in love, and a true love story was born. KC always admired their unique relationship. Rodeo Queen is a tribute to their story. KC also took an early turn at barrel racing, but with deep roots in the Blues capital of the world, KC was baptized in soul on Memphis’ Beale Street and fell hard for the stage, the spotlight, and songs that make the world go round.

KC describes how Rodeo Queen came about. “Going into the writers’ room with Brett Trout and Tim Angsten, I knew exactly the vibe and direction I wanted to go. The first verse of Rodeo Queen, ‘Daddy was a mustang mama knew how to break’ introduces you to a wild ride right at the top of the song. The chorus rounds out exactly what I would love to find in someone one day, which I think most people can relate to. I was ecstatic when Smith Curry with Song of the Year Awards from ASCAP, CMA and ACM agreed to produce. Rodeo Queen is a country rocker based on my favorite love story.”
