Taylor Austin Dye started her career in a small town, and still loves performing in them as she climbs the Country Music ladder in Nashville.
“I’m from a town called Booneville. It had a population of like 111 people last time I checked. I guess 110 now that I left,” Dye said before taking the stage at Beaver Creek Park in Glasgow on Friday.
She was in town to headline the first show of Entertain Glasgow’s Summer Concert Series.
Dye began her career in Mt. Vernon, Ky., at a venue called “Renfro Valley.” She has since opened for musicians such as Wynonna Judd, and Collin Raye. She is returning there in September to open for Jo Dee Messina.
“So it’s kinda like coming full circle since I started there when I was 5 playing the ‘barn dance’ every week, and then getting to go back and open for all my idols,” she said.
While Dye is based in Nashville, she maintains a love for playing in rural and smaller communities.
“I am always really eager to come out to Kentucky shows, because I’ve got such a great fan base here, and some of my dearest friends are actually from Glasgow,” Dye shared. “I am very proud to be from Kentucky and I hope it’s obvious in my shows. I always make sure to book other Kentucky artist and talk about my past from how I started to how I got to where I am now.”
