Welcome to the Country Minute family
Founded in 2022, Country Minute was born from a deep love for country music and a passion for bringing fans closer to the artists and songs that define the genre. We don’t just cover country music—we live it. Whether it’s breaking news, album reviews, festival coverage, or spotlighting the next big artist, we’re here to keep you connected to the heart of country.
At our core, we’re fans first. We believe country music is more than a genre—it’s a lifestyle, a community, and a story worth telling. That’s why we strive to capture the energy of live shows, the excitement of new releases, and the stories behind the songs. Think of us as your backstage pass, your festival guide, and your trusted source for what’s happening in country music today.
Country Minute is a family business led by husband-and-wife duo James and Laura Shotwell, who bring over 30 years of combined experience in music and marketing. Our mission is simple: to celebrate country music in all its forms and make sure every fan feels like they’re part of something bigger.
Whether you're discovering a new artist, reminiscing about classic hits, or getting the latest scoop on your favorite stars, we're here to make sure you never miss a beat.
