George Birge’s wife, Kara Birge, joins Married to the Music to share the real story behind their 20-year relationship, raising two boys while balancing life on the road, and what it was actually like leaving Texas for Nashville before country music success ever happened.

She also talks about the importance of sisterhood, staying grounded through success, parenting while your spouse travels constantly, and why empathy has been the key to making their relationship work through every season of life.

It is honest, heartfelt conversations with the husbands and wives behind today’s country stars, the ones living this life every single day.

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.
