Inspired by her family’s rodeo lifestyle, country music singer/songwriter Casey Kearney announces the Feb. 9 release of her new single “Born to Rodeo.”
The original song is an upbeat tribute to her three children and the rodeo life they adore.
Her two worlds – musician and rodeo mom – collide in the single, a song honoring her family’s love of the sport and the commitment it takes to live the Western lifestyle.
Her family is immersed in the rodeo world, so this song is a natural product of her life as a cowboy mom.
The general idea for the song was in the works, but the true spark for “Born to Rodeo” came from a conversation with her 17-year-old son, who will be competing in Oklahoma this March for the 2024 Jr. Ironman Championship.
A life-lesson conversation about getting enough sleep ended with her son saying,
“Mama, I’m just living on Red Bull and a dream. After warning him the line might end up in a song”
“After he said this, I just immediately laughed and said, ‘Lord knows you were born to do this,”
CASEY KEARNEY
Kearney knew she had all the pieces she needed to create this anthem to her family’s great love – the rodeo.
“Born to Rodeo” is a universal sentiment written from a mother’s perspective.
The song explores the idea that most moms, and rodeo moms in particular, don’t care if their children or loved ones make it to the top of their chosen sport or activity; they will be there cheering them on the whole way, no matter what.
“My children’s passion for rodeo life is the same passion I have for my music,”
CASEY KEARNEY
Who recently performed the national anthem at The National Finals Rodeo (NFR), also known as the “Super Bowl of Rodeo,” in Las Vegas, Nev.
While she has performed multiple times in large stadiums such as the Atlanta Braves’ Truist Park, her NFR performance, much like the creation of “Born to Rodeo,” represented the beautiful synthesis of her music and rodeo experiences and was the fulfillment of a personal and career goal for Kearney.
To accompany the single, Kearney has created a “Born to Rodeo” merchandise line and an official music video, which will be released on social media outlets following the release.
The video, directed by Beck Graben of 44 Studios in collaboration with Devin Scheer of Acentric Rodeo + All Digital Photography and Video, features footage from the National High School Finals Rodeo in Gillette, Wyo., and Kearney’s hometown rodeo in Baker, Fla.
“Born to Rodeo” will be available on all major streaming platforms, including Apple Music, Spotify, Amazon Prime Music, and more.

Casey Kearney’s songs effortlessly convey the sweetness of a Southern belle and the steel backbone of a strong country woman with a bit of rock and grit.
Her music ranges from slow, heartfelt ballads to upbeat crowd favorites and playful melodies.
Kearney was born and raised in the Florida panhandle, where she still resides with her husband and three children, who are active on the junior rodeo circuit.
She has played events nationwide, including stages in Las Vegas for the National Finals Rodeo, the legendary Bluebird Cafe in Nashville, Tenn., the Celebrity Theater at Dollywood, and Blake Shelton’s Ole Red Gatlinburg.
