This is why Kelleigh Bannen<\/a> is such a boss.<\/p>\n

Owning one of country music\u2019s smokiest voices, the Nashville native has never compromised the integrity of her sound or her point of view as a storyteller. Throughout her career, she has developed a professional reputation for delivering music with an edge that arrests the soul of any listener and inspires music\u2019s hardest working minds to want to work with her.<\/p>\n

Fellow Nashvillian Jaren Johnston, who fronts The Cadillac Three (a band known for its country fuzz), is the producer behind her forthcoming album. Exhibiting an insurmountable amount of attitude, \u201cDeluxe\u201d is their first release and a solid indication that the music they\u2019re sitting on is going to be fire.<\/p>\n

\u201cI\u2019d had the title \u2018Deluxe\u2019 for a while and loved the idea of writing a love story that was extra<\/em> but was also relatable,\u201d Bannen tells CMT.com. \u201cDanielle Blakey and I wrote this song in a tiny little windowless room at the Sony Firehall. We were talking through the descriptions of \u2018deluxe\u2019 scenarios, and I loved the idea that they would be these kind of retro references like a motel that has an AC and cable TV. I think we felt a lot of freedom to just be playful with it, and not overthink [it].\u201d<\/p>\n

The line \u201csome things get better with time\u201d can directly apply Bannen\u2019s approach to her craft, and it shows in the way she transposes her storytelling. She is a respected social media influencer as the host of the popular podcast, This Nashville Life, a devoted pug mom, arguably one of the most loyal friends one could ever have.<\/p>\n

Bannen\u2019s full tour schedule is available through her website. Get to know Bannen more in her own words below.<\/p>\n

The first artist to really believe in me was probably Lee Brice.<\/strong> He heard a song I had written and invited me to come out and write with him on the road. It was my first time on a tour bus.<\/p>\n

When others recognize themselves in your art, that is the greatest compliment.<\/strong> When someone sees themselves in your song, you know you\u2019ve said something true.<\/p>\n

Luke Bryan once said that he takes his work seriously, but tries not to take himself too seriously.<\/strong> I think that\u2019s amazing advice.<\/p>\n

[This] may not be the last musically sacred experience, but it\u2019s one of the most powerful [I remember]:<\/strong> when I opened for Little Big Town at the Ryman we went out of Church Clothes into \u201cHow Great Thou Art\u201d the whole room was singing with me, and when the song ended, everyone was on their feet. It was my first standing ovation, and it was at the Ryman.<\/p>\n
