Emerging country artist and granddaughter of music icon, Willie Nelson, formed her ‘Country/Garage Rock’ sound in Nashville after working with Jonathan Bright; producer and veteran of the rock and punk scene to create a sound which is part Loretta Lynn, part Cheap Trick.

Raelyn Nelson has been singing since she can remember, having been raised on a steady diet of traditional country and gospel music. The gift of a guitar during her teenage years from her grandfather was the inspiration she needed to begin writing her own country and folk songs.

When they aren't writing or recording, the Raelyn Nelson band are on the road taking their high energy live show to the people. Having shared the stage with such diverse musical acts as country superstar Tim McGraw, indie rock icons Drivin' n Cryin', legendary punk band Descendents, and supergroup Hard Working Americans, Raelyn and her band are proving you don't have to fit neatly into any particular genre.

The newest single ‘Weed and Whiskey’ is the first release from the upcoming album out later this year. This track is a fun, foot-stomping, catchy country tune to get everyone up and dancing.

"I don't really have any desire to be a 'solo-artist'. Everyone in my family who plays music has always placed a lot of importance on band chemistry, on stage, off stage and in the studio. Our band can almost read each other's minds. Why would I mess with that? We try to keep it simple: Write songs we like, record them, make a video, then go out and play them for people." - Raelyn Nelson
