Tenille Townes shares about her experience being on The Bandwagon Tour (Audio)
“Being out on the road on The Bandwagon Tour with Little Big Town and Miranda Lambert has been such a crazy, wild dream. Getting to stand on side of stage or out at front of house watching their shows every night and learning from the way that they connect to these people is the most incredible thing. I look up to them both so much and just appreciate and respect the art that they make. It really is the coolest thing to get to take the stage and be a part of this adventure. I feel like we are witnessing something really legendary watching them sing songs together in this show and I’m having the time of my life! I’m having so much fun meeting everybody after the shows and getting to hear people’s stories. It’s such a dream to be out there. I’m having such a blast!”
ABOUT TENILLE TOWNES
Poised for a breakout 2018, Townes introduced her debut EP Living Room Worktapes to music fans this Spring and has quickly emerged as one of Nashville’s most promising new artists. The 24-year old Canadian native began her music journey at 5 when she began singing and first picked up the songwriting pen at age 14. As a teenager, Townes traveled to Nashville, Tenn. for songwriting trips and continued to grow in her artistry – with candor and empathy in her writing. At 18, Townes desired to connect her music with her heart for humanity and launched her own charitable music tour, Play It Forward, where she logged 35,000 miles leading leadership and music workshops for students throughout Canada. Soon after, Townes drove her Toyota Tacoma the 45-hour journey from Canada to Nashville in 2013 to pursue her music career and quickly immersed herself in the heart of the city’s songwriting community. She has since emerged as a dynamic and genre-defying artist for her timeless, lyrical wisdom and bluesy, soulful voice; signing to Sony Music Nashville and Big Yellow Dog Music. Readied for a breakout 2018, Townes has been tapped by Miranda Lambert and Little Big Town for the country superstars’ co-headlining The Bandwagon Tour launching July 2018 and joins Bobby Bones on tour this fall. This Spring Townes made her Sundance Film Festival and SXSW debut and shared the stage with Devin Dawson, Maren Morris and Steve Moakler on the road. In between introducing her music to fans on the road, Townes is currently writing and recording her debut LP with producer, Jay Joyce, at his Neon Cross studio in Nashville, Tenn.
