Billboard’s March “Country Rookie of the Month” Catches Attention of Critics
with “Nimble Voice” and “Eye for Lyrical Detail”
Porter’s First-Ever Headlining Shows Set for April in Nashville and Atlanta
Where Her Roots Go Deep
Nashville, TN – Peytan Porter today delivers her new project GROWN, a six-song EP entirely co-penned by Porter that is an organic fusion of country roots, classic rock and bluesy soul, woven together with thought-provoking, identity-exploring lyrics. Her timeless sound pays homage to the past while boldly carving her path in the present and today alongside the release available HERE, Porter also shares the title track’s music video bringing to life the excitement and sadness of coming into one’s own.
Ahead of the project’s release, critics including Entertainment Tonight, Country Now, Music Mayhem and Taste of Country highlighted early released tracks, praising her “nimble voice that adeptly shifts between bluesy tones and an ethereal airy upper register” and “eye for lyrical detail” (Billboard).
“The gritty, six-song EP—all co-penned by Porter—features a collection of thought-provoking lyrics that illuminate the places where she stands apart as she comes into her own as an artist.” – Music Row
“She sheds light on a creative revival, the culmination of dismantling — then rebuilding— her sound to reveal her true self…the album is lush with introspective lyrics and gauzy, Laurel Canyon vibes.” –Billboard
“2024 is the year of Peytan Porter re-introducing herself to the world as the incredible artist and storyteller she is…drawing on soul and rock sounds to add to her country songwriting. Grown feels like the project that proves that Porter has unapologetically stepped into her true calling as an artist. We cannot say enough good things about the EP!” – Country Swag
“Overall ‘Grown’ is a highly personal body of work which taps into Porter’s past and shows her as an artist who’s wise beyond her years. There’s a strong narrative thread of stepping into your own power that runs through the project and the blend of country and rock influences is sure to endear over plenty of fans, alongside her solid vocals and great songwriting.” – Entertainment Focus
Porter is set to perform her first-ever headlining shows as “The Road To Grown” in two cities that fostered her growth, allowing her to thrive – Nashville, TN (4/17) where she currently calls home and Atlanta, GA (4/25) not far from where she was raised. Tickets are available for purchase HERE.
In an era obsessed with choosing sides and validating preconceptions, Porter has separated herself from the pack. A self proclaimed small-town misfit from Dawsonville, GA, she’s breaking the molds of both polished commercial Country music and the rootsy-craft behind Americana, hooking listeners with vivid tunes that feel universal but raise interesting questions. Porter’s voice demands attention with an insightful stance as she signed her first deal in 2021 as a joint venture with Jody Williams Songs and Warner Chappell Music. Fresh off the heels of her acclaimed debut project IN MY HEAD earning 10 million streams across streaming platforms, Porter has also garnered a loyal and massive following in recent years, with 330k followers across all platforms and 50 million views on TikTok. The emerging artist has already earned a number of accolades including being a TikTok “Songwriter of the Year” Nominee at the 2022 iHeart Radio Awards and was named a CMT’s “Next Up Now Artist.” She has also served as direct support for Elle King, has performed at multiple CMA Fest and has opened for artists including Willie Nelson, Jon Pardi, Larry Fleet, Brett Eldredge, Eli Young Band and more.
