a girl named jo
Jo Stevens—“a girl named jo”—is fully immersed in her life in the far northern hinterlands of Montana, but her heavy Southern accent quickly reveals she’s “not from around there.” Indeed, Jo grew up on a farm in south Georgia, then spent fifteen years in Nashville, where she was a signed songwriter and artist at publishing houses and labels including Sony ATV, RCA, and SMACK. Highlights from her time in Nashville include being named to Rolling Stone’s 10 New Artists You Need to Know in 2017 and CMT’s Next Women of Country 2018, making her Grand Ole Opry debut in 2013, and becoming Highway Find on Sirius XM’s The Highway in 2017. Jo was the opening act on Blake Shelton’s All About Tonight Tour, Chris Young and Thomas Rhett’s Liquid Neon Tour, and Miranda Lambert and Dierks Bentley’s Locked and Reloaded Tour. While writing mostly for her own artist endeavors, Jo also achieved cuts on other artists’ (Billy Ray Cyrus, Pam Tillis/LorrieMorgan, Cody Johnson, and Taylor Hicks) projects as well.
After moving to Montana in 2020, Jo released her first independent project, " Wyoming”, featuring Vince Gill on the title track. “Wyoming” debuted on all major streaming platforms and was playlisted on Spotify’s popular New Boots, Wild Country, Next from Nashville, and Fresh Finds: Country. Apple Music featured Jo on Country Risers, New from Nashville, and she held the leading spot on the Speakin’ Easy playlist in March of 2021.
Jo continues to release new music from her home in Montana, and in 2024, she hosted a concert series called Jo + Friends. Featuring several of Jo’s close collaborators and friends from the music business, the show was an in-the-round style format where Jo and the featured artists sang original songs and shared the stories behind them. Her newest endeavor, Big Sky Troubadours, continues to bring songwriters out west to play intimate songwriter shows and host songwriting retreats.
