A tremendous solo debut, full of swagger and emotion, The Story of My Life delivers timeless American storytelling with grit, character, and depth. Less full-on American Jetset and more Counting Crows meets Bob Seger, the song showcases Ian Kaine MacGregor’s distinctive vocal delivery alongside a band that plays with passion and integrity—it all feels very real and genuine. With a great hook, a catchy chorus, and unmistakable authenticity, this is a track with purpose.

Ian Kaine MacGregor & The Trouble Dolls bring Heartland Rock back to its raw, unfiltered roots. They blend gritty, introspective storytelling with an energy that captures the timeless heart of the music they grew up on.
Fronted by Ian Kaine MacGregor, known as the lead singer of American Jetset, the band draws from Mellencamp’s blue-collar grit, the introspective depth of Jackson Browne, and the unfiltered emotion of Counting Crows. The Trouble Dolls are the rhythm and backbone, turning deeply personal songs into something bigger—something that sticks with you.
"It’s different putting your God-given name on a record," MacGregor says. "Every word has to be the honest, unpolished truth. More than anything, it’s got to be real." His debut single, "Story of My Life," is out now, and it's as real as it gets.
