Callie Hines

Louisiana Native Callie Hines is an Americana/Folk songwriter, guitarist, and vocalist. They are a Queer singer songwriter whose songwriting speaks of truth, struggle, and redemption. Being from the Deep South their music is rooted in the Folk music from their childhood and is expressed as neo traditional country music.
Callie grew up in Buras, Louisiana and now calls Ponchatoula, Louisiana home. With their deep cajun roots, family gatherings were often filled with music. Callie explains “Everyone would grab an instrument and play along. It truly fostered my love for music being that there was no wrong way to make it.” As they grew up they carried the lessons learned from those “front porch jam sessions” with them and it has inspired the sound they now aim to create.
When asked why they wanted to be a musician their answer was
“To share my story and the stories of others. As a queer person
from the south I struggled to share my truth with those around me
by speaking, but when I realized I could write music about my experience it opened my mind and my heart to sharing my story in hopes that it will inspire others to live their truth, whatever that may be.”
