Maggie Baugh's Journey: From Austin Street Performer to CMT Awards Stage with Keith Urban

Austin, TX - Musician Maggie Baugh is experiencing a profound full-circle moment as she prepares to perform alongside country superstar Keith Urban at the CMT Awards. Baugh, who first honed her craft busking on Sixth Street in Austin at the age of 12, expressed her overwhelming gratitude and excitement for the opportunity. "I have not been back here since 2012, and it is such a surreal, full-circle moment for me," Baugh stated in a recent video. She detailed how, as a young aspiring musician, she busked with her violin to earn enough money to purchase her very first guitar from a local music store in Austin. Twelve years later, Baugh finds herself returning to the city that she credits with jump-starting her musical journey, now on a national stage with one of her musical idols. "It is so surreal to be back here for something as huge and as meaningful as that, but also to be back in the city that kind of jump-started and kick-started my musical journey," she added. "It's just so cool and I'm so grateful for it." The upcoming performance with Keith Urban at the CMT Awards marks a significant milestone in Baugh's career, highlighting a remarkable ascent from street performer to performing artist on a major platform.
