Harper Grace thought “knockin’ boots” meant dancing—until she played her song for her mama. The country singer-songwriter joins me to share the hilarious story behind “Underneath the Harvest Moon,” her personal take on “Tennessee Waltz,” and the Nashville detour that took on a whole new meaning.

Raised in Texas on dance halls and her nana’s favorite records, Harper is bringing her love of classic country into her “disco cowgirl” era. We talk about why “Underneath the Harvest Moon” waited five years for its moment, how she secretly recorded her nana singing for “Tennessee Waltz,” and what it took to feel confident being herself in Nashville.

Harper also shares the story of a literal detour around Curb Records—and the meeting invitation that arrived about a year later. It opens up an honest conversation about faith, rejection, people-pleasing, and trusting the timing of a dream.

In this episode:

The “knockin’ boots” misunderstanding behind “Underneath the Harvest Moon”
Honoring her nana on “Tennessee Waltz”
