Mae Estes

Armed with a powerhouse vocal and a knack for brutally honest storytelling, Hope, AR native Mae Estes has earned herself an impressive reputation as “a new-school torchbearer for Nashville tradition” (GRAMMY.com). Estes signed her first publishing deal in 2020 and has since racked up more than 13 million streams across platforms and over 1 million views on YouTube, building a quickly growing fan base with her “vocal prowess and subject matter range” (PEOPLE). In 2022, “Thinkin’ Bout Cheatin’” became the first release from her debut EP as well as her first music video feature on CMT. In 2023, she was honored with her third consecutive Arkansas CMA Female Vocalist of the Year in her home state. The NHL Stadium Series, the Grand Ole Opry, PBR Stampede Series, Music City Grand Prix, The Bluebird Cafe, CMA Fest, Nissan Stadium, The Country Music Hall of Fame and more have hosted this “stone-cold country newcomer” (Whiskey Riff) poised for success. Signed to Blue Highway Records, she is one of the key country females to watch, being named to CMT’s Next Women of Country Class of 2024 and a slew of artist to watch lists (GRAMMY.com, iHeart Media, Absolute Radio, COWGIRL Magazine, Country Now, etc.). After lending her voice to a number of songs over the last year alongside artists including Ashley McBryde and Ashland Craft, Vince Gill, Braxton Keith, and Jake Worthington, more new music is expected from Estes soon.
