Ally Klein, fiancee of Austin Snell, joins Hanley Riggs on Married to the Music. Ally shares growing up in a small Florida town where nobody leaves, moving to Nashville alone with no plan and no boyfriend, and the three jobs she worked to survive - bartending on Broadway, making hats at a hat bar, and working for Lucchese Bootmaker - while hosting Tuesday night worship potlucks for every songwriter she knew. She tells the story of meeting Austin at Red Door, the first night they talked on opposite ends of her couch until 5:30 in the morning, and why she says he never left. She remembers the broke-kids days: distracting the parking garage manager so Austin could tailgate out without paying, and Publix dinners at home when he told her all he had to offer was his heart. She walks through his first song going viral, the River House publishing deal and Warner label deal that followed, a first tour with Warren Zeiders, and how sewing and thrifting jewelry for Austin grew into her own career as a wardrobe stylist. And she tells the full story of the April proposal on the set of the Colors video, where "camera batteries" was the code word that cleared the room and the crew watched from a monitor next door. Her advice for anyone married to the music: grace, patience, and cancelling out the noise.

Married to the Music is where the spotlight fades and the real story begins. It is honest, heartfelt conversations with the husbands and wives behind today’s country stars, the ones living this life every single day. This is where you get to know your favorite artists on a deeper level through the people who know them best.

From building careers to raising families while tour buses roll out, it is an inside look at what life really feels like beyond the stage and who these artists are when they are home. But even more importantly, it creates space for the partners who do not always get the mic. These are the stories you do not hear on stage, and they matter just as much.
