Carly Pearce is feeling honest…

Matt Stell has experienced a burst of creativity during this down time. And thanks to technology, he's been able connect with other songwriters to make new music. 
He said, "That has been the biggest silver lining of all time has been is having the time to write songs. Zoom writes are different and they have their own benefits. They also have there own challenges. But just the fact that we have the option to do it is huge."

Carly Pearce has learned a lot about herself since filing for divorce from Michael Ray. 
She says, “It's easy to look at artists like myself and whoever and think that they're lives are perfect. And it's not a reality for any of us. I think when you go through a lot of changes in every aspect of your life,  you realize imperfections are what make us all ourselves."
Carly's up for four CMA Awards on November 11th.
