Join us on this episode of ”The High Notes” as we sit down with the incredible Tanner Adell! Tanner opens up about her unique upbringing in both California and Wyoming, sharing her earliest connections to Country Music. She talks about being inspired by musicians like The Chicks, learning to play their music on guitar, and the influence of her mom, a former Rodeo Queen. Tanner's life took a pivotal turn when she moved to Nashville in 2021, where she began collaborating with some of her idols. We dive into her breakout hit "Buckle Bunny," the title track of her debut album that took the world by storm.
Plus, Tanner shares her excitement about attending Beyoncé's Renaissance tour, and how surreal it was to go from being in the audience to being featured on the superstar’s Cowboy Carter album. We also discuss the importance of representation for women of color in Country Music, and how Tanner's journey has inspired others to chase their dreams—including a special guest who was moved by Tanner’s story to follow her own path.
The High Notes sits down with Country Music icons, up-and-coming artists, stagehands, tour managers, and all the people who make Country Music what it is today while also showcasing the dedication, hard work, and passion that drive their success, sharing the memorable highlights that define their careers.
