Nashville’s Next Country Star-In-Waiting RaeLynn Dazzles The Royal Albert Hall

For all you Country Music fans out there looking for more fabulous music to fill your ears, look no further than Texan singer-songwriter and star-in-waiting Racheal Lynn Woodward, better known as RaeLynn.

Like a few of the current crop of Country Music artists finding their way in the US charts such as Cassadee Pope and Danielle Dradbury, RaeLynn got her big break by auditioning for and making it through to the quarter finals of the U.S. edition of hit competition TV show The Voice during its second season in 2012. Writing for Republic Nashville for the likes of Natalie Hemby and Jon Randell, RaeLynn released her first single God Made Girls in July 2014 and returned to The Voice that year to perform it live, the song going on to be a top 10 hit on the Billboard Hot Country Songs chart.

Following signing to Warner Bros. Nashville, RaeLynn recorded and released her debut record WildHorse in March 2017, it’s lead single Love Triangle charting well the previous summer. RaeLynn went on to open for Sara Evans alongside Kalie Shorr last year as part of CMT’s Next Women Of Country tour. And all of that has lead her to tonight’s massive opening slot at Maren Morris’ headline show at London’s historic Royal Albert Hall, the last show on the European leg Morris’ Girl tour.

RaeLynn heads back to the U.S. next for a round of summer festival dates including CMA Fest in Nashville.

Alicia Witt At Crazy Coqs: Somewhere Between Heaven And Earth

I’d be lying if I said I first started listening to Alicia Witt because of her music. In fact, like many, my introduction to Witt came through her acting career. From her debut as Alia Atreides in David Lynch’s Dune, to her now cult-classic turn as a scream queen in the ’90s slasher Urban Legend, and standout roles in Cybill, The Walking Dead, Twin Peaks and, more recently, Longlegs, Witt has been a familiar face in films and television that don’t always walk the conventional line.
