PAULETTE RELEASES NEW SONG “HOW TO MAKE A COWBOY CRY”
Extends Horseback Acoustic Tour Among Sold Out
Shows, Including Tour Kick Off in Castroville, Texas
CASTROVILLE,
Texas – Cowgirl and songstress Jenna Paulette releases “How To
Make A Cowboy Cry,” her first offering since the September 6, 2024
release of her sophomore album, Horseback.
Listen
to “How To Make A Cowboy Cry” HERE.(preferred music platform) or below:
Written by Paulette, Parker Welling and Casey Brown, and produced by Will
Bundy, “How To Make A Cowboy Cry” is reflective of Paulette’s current chapter
of life after becoming a wife and mother, and underscores that despite their
physical toughness, the quickest way to make cowboys cry lies within life’s
most meaningful moments.
“I wrote ‘How To Make A Cowboy Cry’ right after Ross and I eloped,” explains
Paulette. “Truthfully, it was before we thought about having kids, and in a
conversation where we were dreaming about it, he named our little girl with two
family names—and from that moment on I prayed for one. We have lived these
moments in this song…from our wedding day, to two pink lines, to a moment in
the truck headed in Colorado to work calves listening to Chris Ledoux.”
Traversing her home region of Texas and Oklahoma, Paulette’s Horseback
Acoustic Tour kicked off with a sold out show last night in
Castroville, Texas. As her April 17 show in Bluff Dale, Texas sold out a week

About Jenna Paulette:
A CMT Next Women of Country honoree and an Apple Music’s Country Riser,
singer-songwriter Jenna Paulette — a cowgirl who came of age amid the gritty
realities of ranch life — is part of Nashville’s growing wave of female artists
who are rewriting the rules and charting their own paths. Paulette settled in
Nashville in 2015, where she struck up a mentorship with Ashley Gorley – a
veteran songwriter with 80+ No. 1 tunes under his belt – which ultimately led
to her publishing deal with Sea Gayle Music in June 2021. Since collaborating
with songwriters Will Bundy, Rhett Akins and Jessie Jo Dillion, as well as
opening for Mason Ramsey, Parmalee, John Michael Montgomery, Clay Walker and
most recently Aaron Watson, Paulette has landed brand partnerships with Justin
Boots, Boot Barn, Ely Cattleman and Ranch Water.
With the arrival of her debut album The Girl I Was in
2023, Grammy.com remarked the project as “transformative,”
noting it “fuses the sounds of Twain and Miranda Lambert, tackling mental
health with the somber ‘You Ain't No Cowboy’ and waxing philosophical on
‘Country In The Girl.’” She continued to spotlight her authentic western
lifestyle last year, performing the national anthem at the National Finals
Rodeo, making her Grand Ole Opry Debut and performing in multiple festivals
including CMA Fest. Paulette recently signed with independent label Leo33.
Paulette’s sophomore album, Horseback, is available everywhere
now.
‘California’

‘...imbued with a certain charm
of innocence and adventure….Florence is most definitely heading in the right
direction’ -

‘California’ is the new single
from rising Country star Florence Sommerville,
released on April 11th and taken from her forthcoming debut album due later this year. Following her well-received
single ‘(I’ll Be Your) Best Broken Heart’ released in Jan, this Country ballad
showcases Florence's signature vocals and captures the essence of the perfect
daydream, delivered with the ease of a Nashville veteran.
LISTEN HERE:
Florence Sommerville, a
singer-songwriter from the small village of Orsett
in Essex, thrives on modern Country music. She’s been
playing guitar since she was eight years old, writing songs since she was 12,
and performing at open mics for most of her teenage years. When she was 14, she
reached the final of the Open Mic UK competition held at the O2 Indigo Arena in
London. She’s also played at several major festivals, including Latitude,
Moseley Folk and Arts Festival, Maverick Festival, AMA Music Week (Nashville)
and many listening venues around southern England.
“To me, California is a song about the perfect
daydream - the thing you fantasise about while you’re at the day job you hate,
or the dream of a future you clutch on to after a bad break-up.”
‘California’ is the product of
a co-write with Sally Barris and Francesca de Valence, done over Zoom across
three continents.
Speaking about the writing process, Florence says:“‘California’ was written with two of my favourite
people to write with; Sally Barris and Francesca de Valence. At the time of
writing, we were actually in three different continents, but thanks to zoom
(and plenty of coffee due to the time zones), we were able to write a song I
was so excited about. I’d come up with the general idea for what the chorus of
the song is now a while before the session, but ended up putting it to the back
of my mind.” … So many thousands of miles away from each other, across oceans,
the three of us are singing together. That certainly seems like a dream to me!”
A huge lover of Country music,
Florence is currently on her fourth trip to Nashville, where she is excited to
perform at the iconic Bluebird Cafe. On previous visits, she has co-written
songs with acclaimed songwriters Gary Burr, Jan Buckingham and Sally Barris,
alongside appearing at the famed Commodore Grille, Hutton Hotel, Love &
Exile and Tennessee Brew Works. Back home in Britain, Florence has opened for
renowned stars such as Diana Jones, Tom Robinson, Annie Keating, Hannah
Aldridge, Dan Owen, and the Hanging Stars. Last October she sold out her debut
headline show at the Camden Chapel in London, and earlier this year, she
celebrated the launch of her single at London's Green Note.
There’s a raw, rootsy quality
to Florence’s music that belies her youthfulness. She doesn’t arrive as the
next ready-made Country star beauty figure Barbie doll; there is unquestionable
realness in the way Florence makes sense of life through her music.
