The Canaadian-born songstress has been
writing for Gallimore’s publishing division for almost 5 years. Her
current single “Half Broke Horses” is at country radio now and scheduled
for impact Feb. 19. The song, a very personal autobiographical
flashback from Dreyer’s childhood, explores loss and change with a
heartfelt equestrian metaphor, one which the talented horse rider turned
musician is well acquainted with. The single was co-written with Brad
and Brett Warren and Lance Miller.

Dreyer was born in Thunder Bay, Ontario,
and raised in Latimer, Iowa, where the population sign still reads 303.
Before she turned 18, She had lived in seven states, with the bulk of
her time spent between Texas and Georgia. From an early age, she
embraced an on-the-go lifestyle, donning her “gypsy boots” and setting
out with her mother across the country wherever equine work took them,
eventually, living in a car before being taken in by a rock band. This
single event would reignite her creative fire to pursue guitar. “The
lead singer taught me to play 3 chords. From there, I was hooked.”

She credits her eclectic taste in music to
her mother, who introduced her to classic artists like Kitty Wells and
Hank Williams, Sr., as well as then-current hitmakers like Tanya Tucker,
Keith Whitley, and Patty Loveless. As a pre-teen, Dreyer also found
herself drawn to a variety of singer-songwriters like Emmylou Harris,
Kris Kristofferson, Merle Haggard, Lyle Lovett, and Steve Earle.
