Pistol Annies — the acclaimed trio of Miranda Lambert, Ashley Monroe, and Angaleena Presley — are headed for the West Coast this week as they embark on a trio of headlining concert dates, as well as perform on Monday’s FOX-televised American Country Awards. On the heels of their chart-topping debut album, Hell on Heels, the Annies are also in the running with an ACA nomination of their own for New Artist of the Year. And with all the excitement around the trio, Ashley Monroe believes there’s a certain magic about how she and her fellow Annies work together.

“We all three have, you know, our own style of writing and our own experiences, but somehow or another, they all, when they blend together, it really does create Pistol Annies music.”
