HunterGirl is a vocal powerhouse and sharp songwriter rooted in Tennessee storytelling. Onstage since age three and writing by nine, she has performed nationwide and worked with veterans nonprofits such as Operation Song, Freedom Sings, and A Soldier’s Child, helping service members turn their stories into songs. After moving to Nashville, she cut her teeth in Lower Broadway’s most storied rooms, building a loyal base and a reputation for command of the stage. In 2022, she captured national attention as the runner up on American Idol, delivering standout performances that won over millions. Idol judge Luke Bryan called her the “new age Miranda Lambert” and his “favorite female Country voice.” Momentum followed. Named to CMT’s 2024 Next Women of Country and praised by People for her “incredible voice,” she has shared stages with Old Dominion, Florida Georgia Line, Kane Brown, Alan Jackson, and Lainey Wilson, and toured with Luke Bryan and Kimberly Perry. MusicRow calls her “a major, major new talent.” With nearly 80 million global streams and a Grand Ole Opry debut, she continues to connect through songs that feel lived in and true to her roots. Her label debut EP Tennessee Girl showcased range and heart, led by fan favorites “Bad Boy” and “Ain’t About You.” She can fire off a big chorus, then drop to a line that hits like a confession, a mix of power and vulnerability that has become her calling card. On October 10, she returns with “Dirt” on 19 Recordings/BBR Music Group/BMG Nashville, a song that celebrates the people and places that shape you and the simple lessons that keep you grounded. It is the next step for an artist writing from real life and carving out her own lane in country music.
