RCA Records Nashville noteworthy new artist Rachel Wammack celebrates the holiday season with her soulful rendition of “This Christmas” and “O Holy Night”
as part of a Live from Thirteen Performance. Fans will be able to
witness her spin on the holiday classics as she performs this afternoon
on WSMV’s Today in Nashville (12/5 on
Ch. 4 at 2:00P CT) while the tracks are available now at all digital
retailers. The new music follows her climbing debut single “Damage,”
which continues to be applauded by critics as she has “established a
compelling presence,” (Sounds Like Nashville). With “country, soul, and pop running through her veins” (The Bobby Bones Show), Wammack has become a constant “2019 Artist to Watch” as she recently garnered recognition Pandora and Music Row.
“It’s almost unexplainable how much this year has meant to me. I’ve been
playing piano, singing, and writing songs since I was a kid and for the
first time in my life, I feel like I’m meant to do this. I’ve been
able to see firsthand how people are accepting my music and connecting
on a personal level which is what I always wanted,” said Wammack. “There
have been so many wonderful highs from playing the Opry and the Ryman
for the first time and putting out my EP as well as my debut single
‘Damage.’ It seemed fitting to end the year with two of my favorite
Christmas songs as a ’thank you’ to all of the fans who have supported
me. All in all, this year has been such a blessing and I can’t wait to
see what 2019 has in store.”
Proving “the rising star is here to stay,” (Radio.com), her wildfire momentum continues to grow as she showcases “an undeniable air of confidence and sincerity when she performs” (Taste of Country) on the road with Brett Young on his CMT ON TOUR: HERE TONIGHT. Fans will have an inside look at the run this weekend during CMT Hot 20 Countdown
(12/8 & 12/9 on CMT at 8:00A CT). Additionally in partnership with
YouInspire.org and Davidson County Sheriff’s department, Wammack will
continue to spread holiday cheer in Nashville on Dec. 19th at a local
prison for women to remind them of their meaning, worth and importance.
The 24-year-old Muscle Shoals native is a “dynamic new Country voice for the genre” (Rolling Stone) with her “deep-rooted, classic sound” (Wide Open Country)
influenced heavily by the rich music history from her hometown of
Muscle Shoals. Throughout her adolescent years, she expressed her art in
songwriting, storytelling and the high school band, before earning a
college degree from the University of North Alabama. At the age of 17,
Wammack was discovered by a Sony Music Nashville executive at a piano
restaurant which led to her record deal five years later and the release
of her self-titled EP in April, helmed by award-winning producer Dann
Huff. Showcasing a “powerful, raw, honest collection” (All Access)
the 4-song introductory features her autobiographical debut single
“Damage,” which she co-wrote with award-winning songwriters Tom Douglas
and David Hodges. Wammack has been named one of Rolling Stone’s “10 New Country Artists You Need To Know,” Bobby Bones’ “Women of iHeartCountry,” CMT’s
“Next Women of Country” and received a standing ovation during her
Grand Ole Opry debut. For more information visit www.rachelwammack.com.
