Listen to “Prodigal Daughter
(feat. Molly Tuttle)” (preferred music
platform) or below:
“'Prodigal Daughter' represents a return to my roots, my faith and what's important to me,” explains Whitters about the new song. “Over the last few years, I've been listening to a lot of bluegrass music, and I've been so excited by the new faces propelling the genre - especially artists like Molly Tuttle and Billy Strings. Their music definitely inspired this one, and I was lucky enough to get Molly to be a part of it and to record with some of my favorite bluegrass musicians like Bryan Sutton, Stuart Duncan, Justin Moses and Charlie Worsham to help me define a new sound for this record.”
“Casseroles”
marked Whitters' first release since her critically-acclaimed 2023 EP I'M IN LOVE, which
received raves from American Songwriter, Billboard and Stereogum, who called the title track “an expertly
constructed bit of music” and proclaimed, “Whitters can tell a story, but on
this one, she tells a feeling. When the song hits right, you can almost feel
all that joyous anticipation yourself.” That same year, Whitters was nominated
for New Artist of the Year at the CMA Awards and took
home the ACM Award for New Female Artist of the Year,
performing her platinum certified hit “Everything She Ain't” during
the show. The song marked her debut on the Billboard Hot 100 and her
first top 20 hit at country radio.
In recent months,
Whitters has released collaborations with Max McNown, Evan Honer and Brooks & Dunn. In
November, she experienced a full-circle moment supporting Alan Jackson on his
final tour date of 2024 in Salt Lake City after penning his 2017 single “The Older I Get.” Whitters closed out her year with
two sold-out shows at her hometown honky-tonk DanceMor Ballroom in Swisher,
Iowa.
This year,
Whitters will perform at the inaugural Sand in My Boots festival on May 16 in
Gulf Shores, Alabama and at Under the Big Sky Music Festival from July 18 to 20
in Whitefish, Montana. To keep up with tour dates, visit HaileyWhitters.com.
