Episode Details

Hosts Bobby Johnson and Barrett Hobbs sit down with singer-songwriter Allie Colleen for a conversation that feels more like catching up with family than a formal interview. A longtime friend of the Palace and Scoreboard crew, Allie shares stories from her early days in Nashville when she was still figuring out her sound, playing afternoon sets on sweaty decks, and learning the craft one song at a time. What started as a young songwriter with a guitar slowly turned into an artist who’s building her career the hard way, through persistence, work ethic, and a deep love for storytelling.

Allie talks about moving to Nashville to attend Belmont, the early years of writing songs and posting videos online, and how playing small stages around town helped shape her voice as both a songwriter and performer. The conversation turns into a deeper look at what it really takes to survive in Music City, from learning the business on the road to figuring out where you fit in an industry that’s constantly changing.

Along the way, she reflects on recent milestones including touring with Jelly Roll, navigating the realities of life on arena tours, and the lessons that only come from grinding it out night after night on the road. The group also dives into songwriting itself, exploring how melodies come together, what makes the lyrics connect with people, and why the best songs often come from the most personal places.

The episode wraps with Allie doing what she does best, picking up her guitar and sharing a few songs right there in the room, including the powerful “Gasoline” and the fan favorite “Horses in Heaven” closing out a conversation that’s equal parts music, friendship, and the kind of Nashville stories you only hear inside rooms like this one.

Pull up a chair and let the stories roll for another round of the Nashville Palace Podcast… where the stars drop in.
