Days before the release of her new single “Summer Time” and a hometown show in New York, we had the chance to catch up with rising country star, Carolyn Miller. Get to know the powerhouse vocalist, NASH Next Finalist, and future superstar in our exclusive interview. NG: Since you’re from NY, we would love to know – how did you get into country music? CM: Where I grew up, country music was never on the radio. My first real introduction to it came from Carrie Underwood on American Idol! I remember watching her season and loving every song she sang.
