About CARLY PEARCE: Fiercely rooted in the classics, the girl who left her Kentucky home and high school at 16 to take a job at Dollywood has grown into a woman who embraces the genre's forward progression. GRAMMY Award-winning singer-songwriter Carly Pearce lit fire with her debut album Every Little Thing and the PLATINUM-certified history-making title track, and she hasn't slowed down since. Now a Kentucky Music Hall of Fame and Grand Ole Opry member who has performed on the famed stage more than 100 times, Pearce has come a long way from the pain she felt writing her critically acclaimed and commercially lauded third studio album 29 which includes Country Radio chart toppers "Never Wanted To Be That Girl" with Ashley McBryde and 2x PLATINUM-certified "What He Didn't Do." Her critically acclaimed 2024 album hummingbird includes PLATINUM-certified lead single "we don't fight anymore" (featuring Chris Stapleton), which earned Pearce her second GRAMMY nomination for Best Country Duo/Group Performance and fifth Top 5 Country Radio hit. With her highly anticipated fifth studio album on the way, Pearce continues to resonate with her honest lyrics and timeless musicality. Recent tracks "Dream Come True" and "Church Girl" have been deeply connecting with fans, critics & fellow country stars alike, giving audiences a glimpse of what's next in this bold new era for Pearce. Most recently, Pearce released an acclaimed duet with Riley Green, "If I Don't Leave I'm Gonna Stay" that lit up across socials with sultry lyrics and a steamy accompanying music video. This spring, Pearce continues to build her global audience, returning to Australia for the CMC Rocks Festival before a headlining performance at London's legendary Royal Albert Hall as part of her UK and Ireland "Inside the Dream" tour.
