Billboard’s Top New Country Artist of 2021, ACM 2022 New Female Artist of the Year, CMT’s 2022 “Breakout Artist of the Year,” and six-time CMA Awards nominee Lainey Wilson released her highly anticipated album Bell Bottom Country and announced a 27-city headlining tour, presented by Stella Rosa® Future Is Female music series. Lainey will also be making stops in Vancouver at the BC Place on May 27th and Edmonton at the Commonwealth Stadium on June 3rd, 2023 on the previously announced Luke Combs tour.
Bell Bottom Country draws its name directly from the moniker people use to describe the Louisiana native’s unique sound, style, and aesthetic — it’s Country, but with flare. The highly anticipated album reflects Lainey’s depth and multifaceted character with elements of ‘70s Rock, Funk, and Soul, but remains Country to the core. The album features 14 tracks (all of which she co-wrote, except one cover), including her latest release, “Live Off,” as well as “Watermelon Moonshine,” and current single “Heart Like a Truck,” whichwas the third most added at Canadian Country radio this week. Throughout the album, Lainey reveals her dynamism and makeup as a woman who is vulnerable, empowering, and above all else, real. While just as authentic as her critically acclaimed breakout albumSayin’ What I’m Thinkin’, Bell Bottom Country displays Lainey’s immeasurable growth as person, artist, and songwriter.
“This past year has been such a roller coaster – it’s truly been one of the most rewarding and challenging of my career. We’ve worked so hard on this album and I’m so proud of it,”Lainey said. “I can’t wait to headline my first tour next year and play all my new music across the country.”
The new album comes hot on the heels of the success of “Never Say Never,” her duet with Cole Swindell which hit the #1 spot at Canadian Country radio and Lainey’s first Canadian radio single “Things A Man Oughta Know,” which reached #5 on the charts and was Platinum-certified in Canada. Additionally, her collaboration with HARDY, “Wait In The Truck,” is currently climbing the charts.
On January 4, 2023, Lainey will embark on the Country with a Flare Tour, presented by Stella Rosa® Future Is Female. The 27-city trek will kick off in Spokane, WA, with later stops at Irving Plaza in New York City and Brooklyn Bowl in Nashville, before concluding in Columbus, OH on March 31st. Joining her on tour will be buzzed about newcomer Ben Chapman as well as Meg McRee and Leah Blevins on select dates. This will be Lainey’s first headline tour.
