FAITHFUL NEW TRACK SHARES A MESSAGE OF
BIG-TIME SIGNIFICANCE

FINAL TWO SHOWS OF NASHVILLE RESIDENCY “RAELYNN’S DOWNTOWN PARTY LIVE FROM OLE RED” SET FOR JUNE 30 AND JULY 7

NASHVILLE, TENN. (June 25, 2021) – PLATINUM Country star RaeLynn turns eyes to the sky and opens her heart on “Small Town Prayer,” sharing her gentle country conviction with fans today (6/25).

A brand-new song penned by the hitmaker with Drew Kennedy and Ben Stennis, the graceful ballad is full of uplifting reverence and hope, as she tributes the simple requests we make in faith – and the simple replies that often mean so much.

With heavenly production by Corey Crowder, RaeLynn testifies that no matter what you pray for – or how insignificant it may seem – we’re all important in God’s eyes.

“Some pray for rain to make a living and feed their families, some pray for success to move their lives forward, and some pray for healing,” she says. “The asks of God are wide from all that pray in this world, and I just tapped into how I remember feeling praying when I lived in my small town.”

Out now alongside the recently released “Made For Me To Love (demo),” the new track now features an extra layer of personal meaning, as RaeLynn and husband Josh Davis await the birth of their first child – a daughter due in September.

With those tracks building on her 2020 BAYTOWN EP – her debut studio project on Round Here Records – the Texas native has more new music coming as this year rolls forward.

Taking these new tracks to the stage, RaeLynn will perform the last two shows of her first-ever Nashville residency as summer gets underway, hitting Broadway’s honky-tonk scene for “RaeLynn’s Downtown Party Live From Ole Red” on June 30 and July 7, benefitting the CMA Foundation and ACM Lifting Lives’ COVID-19 Response Fund.

 “RAELYNN’S DOWNTOWN PARTY LIVE FROM OLE RED” BROADWAY RESIDENCY KICKS IN HIGH GEAR

NASHVILLE, TENN. (June 4, 2021) – After revealing she’s expecting a baby girl, PLATINUM Country star RaeLynn has dropped “Made For Me To Love (Demo),” inspired by first-time motherhood. Originally shared as a clip on TikTok to accompany a behind the scenes look at her pregnancy journey so far, the song caught fire with users creating videos to recap their own parenting stories. With demand building for its release, RaeLynn is surprising fans with the track out today.

“Right when I found out I was pregnant I had so many emotions like any new mom, but the biggest one is the overwhelming love I felt for my baby only having her in my belly for eight weeks,” shares RaeLynn. “It was like I already knew her and met her because there was so much love. Just like when I first met Josh or when I found faith in my relationship with Jesus. All of them were meant for me to love.”

Announcing the happy news with PEOPLE that she and husband, Josh Davis, will welcome their daughter in September, RaeLynn penned the tribute to a love tattooed on her heart alongside Drew Kennedy and Ben Stennis with production by Corey Crowder and Stennis. “Made For Me To Love” is the first look at more new music coming from RaeLynn this summer, following her 2020 BAYTOWN EP (Round Here Records).

Back on stage with her vibrant energy, she is hitting downtown Nashville Wednesday nights now through July 7 for her first-ever honky-tonk residency. “RaeLynn’s Downtown Party Live From Ole Red” benefits the CMA Foundation and ACM Lifting Lives COVID-19 Response Fund.

SIX CHARITY-BENEFITING SHOWS WITH THE SONG SUFFRAGETTES BEGIN MAY 26 AT BLAKE SHELTON’S OLE RED

SHOWS WILL RAISE MONEY FOR CMA FOUNDATION AND ACM LIFTING LIVES

NASHVILLE, TENN. (May 19, 2021) – PLATINUM Country star RAELYNN is staking out new live-performance territory, announcing her first-ever honky-tonk residency in downtown Nashville – and she’s doing it for a good cause.

Revealing plans for “RaeLynn’s Downtown Party Live From Ole Red” benefiting the CMA Foundation and ACM Lifting Lives COVID-19 Response Fund, the million-watt hitmaker will return to the stage in full party-starting glory, confirming six weeks of full-band shows with a mission.

Shows will run weekly from May 26 through July 7, letting one of country’s brightest personalities shine in up-close-and-personal style. She’ll reconnect with fans and give back to the community, taking over a Broadway favorite run by her friend and mentor, Blake Shelton.

“Since I can’t travel the world as I have been these last several years, I decided to bring my music to the world via the world-famous Broadway music scene,” RaeLynn explains. “We have visitors from all over the globe here every weekend and Blake’s place, Ole Red, was the natural fit.”

“RaeLynn called me the other day completely excited about her residency at Ole Red,” Blake Shelton shares. “I always envisioned that the Ole Red stages would be a place – with top-of-the-line production – where artists can showcase what they do in the best possible way.  I wish they had production like this when I started out!” Shelton laughs, referring to state-of-the-art sound and floor-to-ceiling LED screens available for artist production at all four Ole Red locations.

Set to feature tracks from her critically-acclaimed 2020 EP BAYTOWN and fan-favorite hits including PLATINUM-certified smash “God Made Girls,” each electrifying show will be opened by a different pairing from Nashville’s female singer-songwriter collective, the Song Suffragettes.

Likewise, three shows will raise money for the CMA Foundation (dedicated to improving and sustaining music programs throughout the U.S. so all students have equitable opportunity to participate in a high-quality music education) while the other three will benefit ACM Lifting Lives COVID-19 Response Fund (created to assist individuals working in the Country music industry who are suffering a financial crisis as a result of the pandemic). And along the way, fans can expect some surprise news.

Inspired by her Texas hometown, RaeLynn released BAYTOWN last August, led by distinctively bold tracks like “Keep Up,” “Bra Off” and “Me About Me.” Since its release, BAYTOWN has been streamed more than 50 MILLION times. Continuing to bring her song-crafting gift to new music, RaeLynn has a brand-new single due out this summer, previewing the second half of BAYTOWN also on tap for release this year.

The complete list of dates and opening acts joining “RaeLynn’s Downtown Party Live From Ole Red,” benefiting the CMA Foundation and ACM Lifting Lives COVID-19 Response Fund are as follows: 

• 5/26 – w/ Halle Kearns and Sarabeth Taite
• 6/2 – w/ Carter Faith and Livy Jeanne
