Annie Bosko performs “Neon Baby,” “California Cowgirl,” and a new song called “God Winks.” She talks with Billboard’s Associate Editor for Country, Jessica Nicholson about performing at Stagecoach, the inspiration behind her “California Cowgirl” and why her new song “God Winks” is the most special one.

Annie Bosko:
[Sings “Neon Baby”]
Annie Bosko:
Thanks so much y’all. Billboard Live, this is so awesome. What an honor. Well before this last song, I think we’re gonna take a break and go do a little interview. So come join me.
Annie Bosko:
Hi.
Jessica Nicholson:
Hi, that was wonderful.
Hey, thank you. Thanks so much.
Absolutely. Thank you so much for being with us.
Oh, wow, it’s an honor, huge. I mean, it’s like Billboard, right? You grow up your whole life dreaming to do this kind of stuff. So thank you.
Absolutely. Well. So I love that first song, “California Cowgirl.” I mean, it really sets the vibe here at the Ariat house. And so do you feel like that’s really who Annie Bosko is?
100% it’s autobiographically, the most me song, the most song that’s me out of anything I’ve ever written. And I think a lot of times when you’re from California, you get stereotyped wrong. And for me, you know, my dad was a third generation farmer, produce farmer, and my uncle was in the rodeo world, and so I always felt very down home and connected to the country lifestyle and country music. And I really would rather be in boots than heels. So, yeah, it’s definitely who I am.
Keep watching for more!
