Maverick Country Music Magazine

1 January 2024

For this edition, I had the absolute pleasure of interviewing two of the most romantic men in country music, Dylan Scott and Adam Doleac. Scott’s dedication to his family and his music is astounding, whilst Doleac’s natural charm was only matched by his multifaceted talents. I also had the opportunity to attend the launch of Hadestown, the musical by Anaïs Mitchell and Gareth Dunlop’s show at The Lower Third. At both events the energy was incredible and I can’t wait for you to hear my thoughts on them. Embarking on my journey as the editor of this magazine, I wanted to showcase a curated selection of the best in country music right now. Our features spotlight the talented Lainey Wilson, who has just swept the CMA Awards and offer a deep dive into the success story behind Luke Combs' chart-topping hit, 'Fast Car.' In our behind-the-song section, I had the privilege of hearing from the versatile Tim Prottey-Jones of First Time Flyers. Tim's insights were plentiful and he is an inspirational person, wearing so many hats at once it’s a miracle he doesn’t have a bigger head! We here at Maverick are fully embracing the holiday spirit and our all-new lifestyle section is dedicated to the festive season. From cheerful decorations to heartwarming traditions, we've got everything to make your Christmas extra special. For those eager to discover new tunes, we've got you covered. I recommend plugging in your headphones and immersing yourself in the latest top picks that we've meticulously curated just for you (we’ve even got some festive tracks to listen to).
