Hey everyone, Angie Scott here! This week on The Woman Angler & Adventurer, I'm thrilled to welcome Becca Bowen—country recording artist, true outdoorswoman, and champion of the Outdoor Channel’s “For Love or Likes”! We go deep into what makes Becca tick, how she balances the glitzy stage with mud-splattered hunting boots, and why she’s so passionate about being both authentic and adventurous.

In this episode, you’ll hear:

• Becca’s Journey: From fishing with her grandpa using cane poles to learning life lessons (sometimes the hard way!) alongside her brother, Becca shares how her southern roots and family shaped her fearless approach to the outdoors and the music industry.

• Reality TV Reflections: What was it really like on “For Love or Likes”? Becca opens up about the behind-the-scenes challenges, how determination set her apart, and what it feels like to prove you’re the real deal—redneck grit and all!

• Women in the Wild: Why seeing strong role models in the outdoors is so important for the next generation, and Becca’s heartwarming story about inspiring young women to grab a fishing pole (or a hunting license!) without giving up their love of glam.

• Music Milestones: From her “pinch me” moment performing at Bridgestone Arena (with Keith Urban in attendance!) to working with songwriting greats and becoming more vulnerable through self-written music, Becca dishes on her creative evolution.

• Patience, Perseverance & More: The outdoors teaches patience—and so does a career in country music! Becca shares how hunting and fishing parallels her persistence in pursuing her dreams and tells us why even the missteps (“whoops, forgot the tackle box!”) become the best lessons of all.

• What’s Next: Becca teases her brand new single “Betting on You,” upcoming CMA Fest appearances, exciting new music rooted in her true country upbringing, and a look at some rapid-fire fun: dream destinations, bucket list duet partners (spoiler alert: Dolly Parton!), and her must-pack hunting snack.

🎧 Whether you fish with a cane pole or rock rhinestones, Becca’s story is proof you can blaze your own trail—boots, microphone, and all.
