About the Expert 

Caroline Watkins has lived and breathed country music since the day she was born. Born and raised in Nashville, TN, she started writing songs as soon as she could read, and began performing around Nashville at the young age of 13. At 17, she was given the opportunity to play her own songwriters’ round at the legendary Bluebird Café, Nashville’s top songwriting venue, and has been a regular there ever since. 

The day before her high school graduation, Watkins signed a worldwide publishing deal with Warner-Chappell Music Publishing, where she is still signed as a songwriter to this day. Since then, she has opened for country stars such as Brett Eldredge, Walker Hayes, and the legendary Willie Nelson. 

Watkins continues to perform all over the country with her band and to write songs with Grammy-winning country songwriters on a daily basis. She loves country music and being a part of the country music family.
