From Dell Rapids, South Dakota, to the stages of Nashville and beyond, Julie Eddy has spent this year sharing bills with some of country music’s biggest names. She has opened for Warren Zeiders, Gary Allan, and Cole Swindell, and the list of artists she has stood beside keeps growing: Ella Langley, Parker McCollum, Sam Hunt, Justin Moore, Billy Currington, Chase Matthew, Brett Young, Tanya Tucker, and Dan + Shay. With more than 200 live shows a year, Eddy is building her audience the honest way, one crowd at a time, both onstage and off.
The industry has started to take notice. Her rising profile has drawn recognition from the Academy of Country Music (ACM), Holler, Country Central, and Raised Rowdy. Yet beyond the touring and the streaming milestones, Eddy is carving out her place as a true Nashville songwriter, performing with Song Suffragettes and making her debut at the legendary Bluebird Cafe.
Her new single, “Mars,” turns toward the ache of loving someone with everything you have and still watching it come apart. Written with Maddie Lenhart in the fall of 2022 and produced by Brad Hill, the song is cinematic and guitar-driven. It looks for answers beyond this world and pictures a universe where the love she fought for might have ended differently.
Eddy describes it as a song about “accepting that you gave it everything you possibly could have, and hoping that some love, while it clearly wasn’t meant for this world, maybe belongs in another one a million light years away.” That feeling holds “Mars” in the hard space between holding on and letting go. There is no one to blame here. Instead, Eddy imagines another reality, one where the circumstances might simply have been kinder.
