Lainey Wilson: LIVE

The multi-award-winning singer-songwriter and actress Lainey Wilson has long since made a name for herself in the music industry.

She was the most nominated artist at the 2023 ACM Awards and also won the most trophies, including in the categories Female Vocalist of the Year, Album of the Year, Music Video of the Year and Music Event of the Year. As a winner in the Female Vocalist of the Year and Best Newcomer of the Year categories at the CMA Awards 2022, she has thus underpinned her status as an "artist with future potential". In April, she will perform two concerts in Cologne and Berlin.

Lainey Wilson's road to success began 12 years ago in a trailer after turning her back on the small rural community of Baskin, Louisiana. Since then, she has redefined the genre and added several facets to the country music scene as we know it. Blending a traditional country sound with a modern retro flair, Lainey Wilson's signature Bell Bottom Country style has made her the artist with the most nominations at the 2023 CMT Music Awards and the "Rulebreaker" award from Billboard Women in Music.

She is a prolific and in-demand songwriter (she has co-written songs for artists such as Luke Combs, Flatland Calvary, Ashley McBryde and others). She is a fresh, passionate voice in Nashville who was immediately nominated in the Album of the Year category at the CMA Awards with her label debut album Sayin' What I'm Thinkin'. She landed her first No. 1 radio hit with the PLATIN-certified "Things A Man Oughta Know," Song of the Year at the ACM Awards.

After topping the country radio charts, Lainey Wilson landed her second No. 1 hit, "Never Say Never" with Cole Swindell, and recently scored her third and fourth No. 1 hits with "Heart Like a Truck" and her HARDY collaboration "Wait in the Truck." Her current radio single "Watermelon Moonshine" just cracked the Top 2, making it her 5th song to do so and also the fastest song by a solo artist to reach the Top 10 since 2018. Wilson's second and critically acclaimed album, Bell Bottom Country, reached #15 on the Billboard Top Albums chart and #9 on the Billboard Country Albums chart after quickly rising to #1 on the iTunes chart and has over 650 million streaming views to date.

Wilson made her acting debut in Season 5 of the hit Paramount series "Yellowstone", where she played the role of musician Abby and debuted her original song "Smell Like Smoke" as well as performing other hits from her current album such as "Watermelon Moonshine" and "Hold My Halo".

She has the stage presence of a rock star and has sold out venues in the US and UK. She found more and more followers around the world. The year 2023 in particular served as her spectacular rise with sold-out shows at major music festivals in the US at Stagecoach, Lollapalooza and Watershed, marking a milestone in her career and wowing the crowds. Her "Rulebreaker" year also marked the start of her first sold-out headlining tour. She also performed as a support artist on Luke Combs' USA stadium tour and made her first headline appearance in an arena in front of a sold-out audience.*** Translated with www.DeepL.com/Translator (free version) ***
