Mae Estes

Mae Estes merges the timelessness of classic country music with modern melodies and production to form her exclusive artistry. She got her start at age 7, in the middle of an Arkansas rodeo arena, singing the national anthem. The Hope, Arkansas native hasn’t stopped singing since. Paying dues in Music City for nearly a decade, she’s now stacked with stories to tell. In 2019, Estes began releasing music and signed her first publishing deal with Plaid Flag Music in 2020. She’s since racked up millions of streams across platforms, independently and organically building a quickly-growing fan base with her plain-spoken truth. In 2023, Estes independently released her six-song debut EP, Before the Record . Later that year, she announced a signing with Big Machine Records, WME Agency, Kobalt Music, and Blue Bronco Entertainment. In 2024, this “stone-cold country newcomer” (Whiskey Riff) was named AIMP’s Rising Artist-Writer of the Year, one of CMT’s Next Women of Country Class and the three time Arkansas CMA Female Vocalist of the Year. She’s shared the stage with country hitmakers like Lainey Wilson, Ashley McBryde, Vince Gill, Dierks Bentley, and more. She joins a a host of fellow country artists and festivals on tour this year, while releasing new music from her upcoming project.
