Lola Kirke, an actress and musician, discovered country music through rock icons like Gram Parsons. Growing up in a musical family in New York, her love for country music blossomed during her college years. The pandemic prompted a spontaneous move to Nashville, where she embraced her passion for country music and life in the South. Kirke's experiences inspired her debut memoir, Wild West Village, which reflects her artistic journey and affinity for the Wild West. Her new home continues to shape her music and creativity, leading her to fall in love with Nashville.
I found Gram Parsons through the Rolling Stones and The Byrds-Parsons was my gateway drug, the singer, songwriter, and actor told AD recently.
It wasn't until college that her penchant for cowboys, country, and the Wild West developed, where she notes in her debut memoir, Wild West Village.
I always loved the South, but I never thought I could live here... I found Nashville by accident.
Since establishing herself down South, however, Kirke has fallen in love with Music City.
