FROM THE RODEO ARENA TO THE RECORDING STUDIO: MOLLY GAYNOR’S “MY HEART GOT A DUI” HITS RADIO ON JULY 31
A Song Nearly Two Decades in the Making Finds the Perfect Voice. Written by Beverly VanScyoc-Corey | Produced by Jeb Bridges | Recorded at Texas Homegrown Studios, Stephenville, Texas
STEPHENVILLE, TEXAS | July 31, 2026 — Broken Diamond Records proudly announces the release of “My Heart Got a DUI,” the debut original single from emerging Texas country artist and rodeo competitor Molly Gaynor. Available on all major streaming platforms beginning July 31, 2026, the release introduces Gaynor as an original recording artist and delivers a powerful country ballad whose journey began nearly two decades ago.
Blending authentic country storytelling, heartfelt emotion, and a world-class lineup of Texas musicians, “My Heart Got a DUI” tells a story of heartbreak, resilience, and fate. Its release not only marks a major milestone in Gaynor’s music career, but also the culmination of a songwriter’s nineteen-year search for the right voice.
A Song Nineteen Years in the Making
The story behind “My Heart Got a DUI” began in 2007 when songwriter Beverly VanScyoc-Corey found herself navigating the end of an on-again, off-again relationship.
The morning after the breakup, a friend called with unexpected news.
“Did you hear so-and-so got a DUI last night?”
Without hesitation, Beverly replied:
“My heart got a DUI last night.”
Minutes later, she sat down and wrote the song.
There was only one problem.
She wasn’t a singer.
Rather than force the song into the wrong hands, Beverly put it away and waited.
For nearly two decades.
Then one evening at Newton’s Saddle Rack in Stephenville, Texas, everything changed.
Beverly walked in and heard a young woman singing Rihanna’s“Stay.” The room had gone still. Patrons stopped conversations. Heads turned. The voice commanded attention.
“This song waited nineteen years because it wasn’t meant for just anyone,” said Beverly. “The moment I heard Molly sing, I knew exactly why I’d held onto it all these years. Some songs find their singer when the time is right, and that’s exactly what happened here.”

For Gaynor, the opportunity carried a deeper meaning than simply recording a song.
“This is a song Bev wrote a long time ago and never had anyone to sing it until she met me,” said Gaynor. “When people dance to the songs I’m singing or stop to listen, it makes why I do this ten times better. It’s seeing how music brings people together no matter where they are or what they’re doing.”
From the National Finals Rodeo to the Recording Studio
Long before stepping into a recording studio, Molly Gaynor was already performing on one of the biggest stages in western sports.
At just 11 years old, Gaynor was selected to sing the National Anthem at the National Finals Rodeo (NFR) in Las Vegas, Nevada, one of the most prestigious events in professional rodeo.
The performance showcased a voice capable of commanding an arena and hinted at a future beyond the rodeo arena.
Today, Gaynor is a student at Tarleton State University in Stephenville, Texas, where she competes on the university rodeo team as both a team roping heeler and breakaway roper.
Originally from Powell Butte, Oregon, her family relocated to Stephenville in 2020. The move connected her with songwriter and label founder Beverly VanScyoc-Corey and her husband, legendary cowboy Clint Corey, an 18-time National Finals Rodeo qualifier and PRCA World Champion.
The connection runs deeper than music.
Powell Butte is also Clint Corey’s hometown, creating an immediate bond between the families. Gaynor and the Coreys have built a relationship through shared roots, shared roots, rodeo traditions, and an unwavering belief in her future.
A Family Built on Hard Work and Western Values
Music and determination run deep in the Gaynor family.
Her father, owner of Direct Ag Solutions and the Ranch X western lifestyle brand, has often been known to pull up a chair and sing alongside his daughter. Her mother, a former trauma nurse and current nurse practitioner, has become one of Molly’s strongest advocates, helping support and nurture her growing music career while continuing to serve communities across Texas.
Her younger sister, Mattie Gaynor, is carrying on the family’s rodeo tradition while pursuing her own college education.
Together, they embody the same values heard throughout Molly’s music: faith, family, grit, and authenticity.

Tenn Texas Radio Review
Tenn Texas Radio praised both the song and the artist behind it.
“The very first time we heard ‘My Heart Got a DUI,’ we thought, ‘That’s a country title people won’t forget.’ It’s clever, it’s relatable, and it’s got the kind of honest heartbreak that country music is built on. Molly delivers it with maturity beyond her years. She’s one of those rare young artists who can make a song feel like she’s lived every word of it, and we believe listeners across Tennessee & Texas and beyond are going to connect with this record.”
