Gayle Thompson

Gayle Thompson has been part of the country music scene for almost two decades. Her list of outlets is extensive, including Billboard, Rolling Stone, PopCulture.com, Country Weekly, Prevention, Wide Open Country, and more. When not writing or interviewing one of her many favorite artists, she can probably be found at home with her husband, two children, and dog—likely in the kitchen trying to perfect a new recipe.
