ABOUT LAINEY
WILSON:
As the
leading female nominee and winner at the 2023 ACM awards with, Female
Vocalist of the Year, Album of The Year, Visual Media and Musical Event of the
Year and reigning CMA 2022 Female Vocalist and New Artist of the Year,
Lainey Wilson has earned the enthusiasm of the industry.
Critically acclaimed and touted
as a top “artist to watch,” to being crowned the most nominated artist at both
the 2023 CMA Awards (with a record breaking nine nominations) and CMT Music
Awards, the Louisiana native has made a name for herself in the industry as one
of music’s hottest and most buzzed-about new artists. Landing her first No. 1
with her PLATINUM Certified ACM Song of the Year, “Things A Man Oughta
Know,” nearly 10 years to the day after leaving her small farming
community in a camper trailer to chase her dreams, she has won over legions of
fans with her signature BELL BOTTOM COUNTRY sound and aesthetic, which
blends traditional Country with a modern yet retro flare.
A prolific and sought-after
songwriter (having co-writer credits on songs by artists including Luke Combs,
Flatland Cavalry, and more), Lainey is a fresh, fierce voice in Nashville,
delivering CMA-nominated album of the year with her label debut, Sayin’
What I’m Thinkin’.

Combs, Morgan Wallen, HARDY, Jason Aldean, Ashley McBryde, and more. After
topping the country radio charts for a second time with the two-week No. 1 hit,

fourth No. 1 song with “Heart Like a Truck” (watch the music
video with 49M views here) and HARDY collaboration “wait in the truck”. Her current single “Watermelon Moonshine” topped the Country charts
marking her fifth No. 1 single and making her the first female artist in two
years to reach No. 1 on the Billboard Country airplay chart.
The sophomore and
critically-acclaimed album, Bell Bottom Country, rose up Billboard’s Top Albums
Chart and Billboard’s Country Albums Chart, amassing over 650 million streams

character named Abby, where she premiered her original “Smell Like Smoke” as

A
Nashville-based music sensation, is rewriting the rules of the genre with her
debut project, ‘DARK BAR DAISY.’, which was released
Oct 6, 2023. Born in Dallas, Texas, in 1990, Harper’s journey to here has been
marked by her unwavering dedication to authenticity and an innate musical
talent that sets her apart from the crowd. You will also be able to see her
over here in the UK in January when she opens for Ashley McBryde on her
UK tour.
After
putting down roots in Nashville, O’Neill began finding ways into the local
music scene, trying out co-writes and finding gigs to play around town. After
posting a performance video to TikTok in 2022— far from being a regular
TikToker, O’Neill had only dabbled with the platform — O’Neill got a text
claiming to be from Jody Williams, the renowned publishing executive and former
head of BMI known for working with everyone from Maren Morris to Carrie
Underwood. Williams texted O’Neill on April 1st, so she couldn’t help but think
it was a prank. They arranged a meeting for the following week and Williams
signed O’Neill to his Jody Williams Songs on the spot.
While
she had a stockpile of songs she’d written over the years, O’Neill didn’t feel
strongly enough about the material to use it for her first project, so she started
from nothing. That decision led to the gradual birth of Dark Bar Daisy.
“With
her debut project, ‘Dark Bar Daisy’ Harper O’Neill is poised to make her mark
as one of country music’s most exciting new voices. Although there’s a lot more
to her sound and style than just Country music as she melds classic Soul,
R&B and Gospel-tinged singer-songwriter vibes into one evocative melting
pot.....Her soulful vocals and evocative storytelling, accompanied by rich and
varied musical arrangements, create an enchanting listening experience. This
album is not only a testament to O’Neill’s immense talent but also a promising
sign of her potential as a future luminary in the world of music. ‘Dark Bar
Daisy’ is a must-listen for anyone seeking an authentic and soul-stirring
musical journey”. 3.1/2 STARS James Daykin EF COUNTRY
