Tenille Townes has a theory about UK audiences: we’re the land of second verses. “You guys listen through the whole song. You know even the second verse,” she told me when we caught up ahead of her Living Room Tour. For an artist bringing a stripped-back show across the Atlantic, that sounds like a pretty ideal crowd.

Before Pacific Avenue played their first Glasgow headline show, I caught up with Dom, Ben and Jack at King Tut’s. I’d only discovered the Australian band a few months earlier, thanks to my friend Lynsey, and now I was sitting down with them in one of Glasgow’s most iconic venues. Not a bad turnaround

Vienna Vienna is having a bit of a moment. Not just because he’s travelled across the Atlantic for his first ever run of shows on this side of the world, or because he was about to play his first Scottish show at Glasgow’s Garage.

Warren Zeiders is mentally preparing himself. Not for another tour, the jet lag of another trip across the Atlantic or even the prospect of facing a Glasgow crowd again... His new album is about to come out.

Ryan and Rory have discovered two things about the UK. We know how to do country music, and apparently, we know how to party. After making their first trip across the pond for C2C earlier this year, the duo wasted absolutely no time finding an excuse to come back, returning less than six months later for The Long Road Festival in Lutterworth.

When I caught up with the Ohio trio backstage at The Long Road Festival, they had just delivered one of those sets where you could physically watch a crowd getting bigger. I had somehow managed to miss Oliver Hazard every time they had previously been in the UK, so this was my first chance to finally see them live.

The last time I spoke to Lily Fitts, I had one request. Come back to the UK. That was backstage in Glasgow in December, when Fitts was opening for Max McNown and experiencing British crowds for the first time. Fast forward eight months and, ladies and gentlemen, SHE’S BACK.

Jason Scott arrived in Glasgow with one pair of clean underwear left...That probably tells you quite a lot about how Jason Scott & The High Heat’s first proper trip across the pond had been going.

Tyler Halverson was the kid who turned up to cattle shows with a mohawk and a skateboard. That probably tells you quite a lot about the country artist he would eventually become.

There’s something slightly different about interviewing an artist after you’ve watched them tear a stage apart. Usually, I’m backstage before the show, chatting about what’s about to happen. This time, I’d already watched James Johnston walk out in front of a packed SWG3 crowd, bring a bagpiper onto the stage and somehow turn a Glasgow gig into what felt like a country nightclub.

Every time I interview Ty Myers, something huge seems to happen afterwards. The first time we sat down, he was days away from becoming the youngest artist to ever play C2C Festival. Fast forward a few months and he's dropped his album, clocked up over a billion streams, put his own soulful spin on Amy Winehouse's Valerie and found himself opening stadiums across Europe for Luke Combs.

The last time I saw The Crowe Boys was supporting Cameron Whitcomb in Glasgow, and I still remember leaving that show thinking, everyone needs to see this band live. So catching up backstage at BST Hyde Park after they'd supported Garth Brooks felt like the perfect full-circle moment.

LiveWithLP caught up with Mae Hill backstage at BST Hyde Park after she'd just stepped off stage supporting Pitbull, and somehow she still had enough energy to match mine - which, trust me, is saying something.

After a first UK trip that saw her battling what she affectionately calls the "super flu," seeing Mae Estes back on British soil felt like the comeback we'd all been waiting for. When I caught up with her backstage at BST Hyde Park before she opened for Garth Brooks, the first thing we laughed about was just how different this visit had been.

There's something special about discovering an artist just before everyone else catches on. That was exactly the case with Irish singer-songwriter Jamie McIntyre. After being pointed in his direction by countless people at TRNSMT Festival the weekend before, I made my way over to the Introducing Stage - and I'm so glad I did.

There's something instantly likeable about Jackson Dean. Before we'd even properly introduced ourselves backstage at BST Hyde Park, we'd somehow found ourselves chatting about holidays and laughing as if we'd known each other for years. It's that easy-going nature that has helped the Maryland native win over country fans on both sides of the Atlantic, and with one of the biggest performances of his career just moments away, he still seemed completely grounded.

Some interviews begin with a conversation about the new album. My chat with Anna Graves began with tongue twisters, doing makeup in the back of a van and both of us trying not to melt in a London heatwave.

Some interviews feel like catching up with an old friend. Sitting down with Alexandra Kay at BST Hyde Park was exactly that. The last time we'd spoken was backstage in Glasgow, chatting about heartbreak, healing and finding herself through music. This time? We were comparing coffee cups, manifesting future Hyde Park headline slots and laughing before the cameras had even properly started rolling.
