For every pop country artist singing in front of an arena, there's at least a hundred more who are grinding their way down backroads and shitty gigs just to get there. And they all start from the same place: the bottom. Ellen Angelico, who's toured with artists like Cam and Brandy Clark, memorializes their mentor with their six-part podcast series Girl In a Hurry: The Shelly Bush Story.
