NASHVILLE, TN – 13-year-old country sensation Tegan Marie sparkled atop Radio Disney’s float in the Magnificent Mile Lights Festival Tree Lighting parade in Chicago on Saturday (11/19). Although the Windy City lived up to its name, the country charmer radiated as she waved to the crowd of people along the route and performed her soon-to-be released holiday single “Just Another Night,” available at digital retailers on December 2. The special aired live on Chicago’s ABC7 and will air nationally across 150 markets this holiday season.

Earlier in the week, Tegan honored Smokey Robinson, the 2016 recipient of the Library of Congress Gershwin Prize for Popular Song, with a stunning performance of “My Guy” at DAR Constitution Hall in Washington, D.C. Samuel L. Jackson hosted the evening’s festivities that also featured appearances by the honoree, Aloe Blacc, Gallant, Berry Gordy, CeeLo Green, JoJo, Ledisi, Kip Moore, Corinne Bailey Rae, Esperanza Spalding, The Tenors and BeBe Winans. The special will air on PBS nationwide at 9 p.m. ET on February 10.
A native of Flint, MI, the burgeoning singer-songwriter released her catchy single, “Lucky Me,” last spring with 100% of the proceeds going to children directly affected by the water crisis in her hometown. She stunned listeners this summer when she released her breathtaking rendition of Florida Georgia Line’s #1 smash hit “H.O.L.Y.,” which garnered 17 million plus views on Facebook and led to high-profile media looks including her national TV debut on ABC’s Good Morning America and US Weekly’s “Buzzzz-o-Meter” feature. She also caught the attention of the U.S. Women’s Soccer Team who invited her to perform the national anthem at their last home game prior to the Olympics. After debuting on the Radio Disney Country stage at the CMA Music Festival in June, Tegan has played shows with country stars Hunter Hayes, Thomas Rhett, Cam and Chris Stapleton.
Discovered by girl platform Sweety High, Tegan first shared her videos on their site when she was only 7 years old. Her sweet, clean vocals and sensitive interpretations now have girls (and moms) across the nation clamoring for more. In their words, she is “your new obsession.” Tegan has received over 60 million video views in the last 120 days with unprecedented social engagement.
