Stone beams, “I’ve been in Nashville writing for the last few years, and
now I’m so excited to finally release my debut EP! I feel like the
songs on this project do an excellent job of portraying me as an artist
and as a person. They are flirty, confident, stubborn and nostalgic just
like me. I can’t think of a better way to introduce myself to the
country music audience than with this EP!”
To celebrate, she released new single “Running Out of Red Lights” today
(4/27). Eager to share the sparkling new tune, the songstress has been
giving fans an exclusive first listen since Wednesday on Radio Disney Country. She recently performed the new single on TODAY in Nashville. (watch)

ABOUT LENA STONE:
A songwriter since age eight, Stone picked up the guitar at 14 and began
performing at school and church. Shortly after, she attended a Grammy
songwriting camp in Los Angeles and met hit songwriter Darrell Brown
(Keith Urban, LeAnn Rimes, Faith Hill) who told her she belonged in
Nashville. At 18, the Carlisle, MA native made the move to Music City to
fulfill her dream of becoming an artist. The songstress began writing
with folks around town and interned at a publishing company to learn the
ins and outs of the industry. In the midst of the magic, she found
herself an original member of Song Suffragettes, a weekly sold-out
showcase of female artists in Nashville. Stone has since penned over 500
songs, including several hits for fellow rising female artists. She
released her first single, “Nervous” in 2017 followed by “Can’t Think
Straight” and “Running Out of Red Lights” in 2018. Stone will release
her self-titled debut EP on May 25.NKD Mag is “stepping out
from behind the veil to show the growing number of female songwriters
that are ready to make a change in a male dominated industry.”
