“I feel like I’ve been moving to Nashville my whole life, working toward putting music out into the world, and I can’t believe it’s finally happening,” shares Nichols. “Releasing ‘John Deere Green’ is such a full-circle moment. My version is a tribute to my late cousin Joe Diffie, who made the song famous in the 90s, and it’s been such an inspiration knowing someone in my own family lived the dream I’ve imagined for so long. Recording it feels like honoring both him and the genre that shaped me.”
