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 and is confident in what she wants to say. Lighting a fire with her debut album EVERY LITTLE THING and the PLATINUM-certified title track, Carly has become “Country’s ‘it’ girl” (ABC Radio), touring alongside Blake Shelton, Rascal Flatts and Luke Bryan. With the most CMA Awards nods for any new artist nominee in 2020, Carly won Musical Event of the Year for her PLATINUM-certified, No. 1 duet with Lee Brice “I Hope You’re Happy Now.” Like those before who spoke their minds with a little sass and steel guitar – Dolly, The Chicks, Trisha, Reba, Patty Loveless – she leaned on her own intuitions with lead single “Next Girl". Carly explores more of a pivotal year with 29, finding creative simpatico with Shane McAnally and Josh Osborne following the unexpected death of her mentor and former producer busbee.
