Already receiving widespread critical notice, CMT recently selected Sellers for their “Next Women of Country” series, which showcases, “the rising generation of signed and unsigned female superstars.” Additionally, NPR Music’s Ann Powers praises, “…Sellers joins that elite crew with a song that starts out heartwarming but soon turns into the existential testament of a heartbreaker” while Rolling Stone recently selected Sellers as one of their “10 Country Artists You Need To Know” and praises, “With country roots…but a gritty soul, Sellers writes music that gets its southern kicks from her pristine quiver while favoring restless electric guitar over sleepy acoustics.” Moreover, Billboard calls her, “One of the most-talked-about artists in Music City,” NYLON proclaims and “Aubrie Sellers is Country’s Next Big Star” and The Tennesseanasserts, “Sellers will step into the spotlight with the release of her debut album.”
In celebration of the record, Sellers will continue to tour nationwide, including an upcoming album release show at New York’s Mercury Lounge on January 27, a date with Chris Stapleton at Nashville’s historic Ryman Auditorium on February 20 and an appearance at the 2016 Stagecoach Festival. See below for complete details. Of her recent performance with Stapleton,The Vinyl District asserts, “If her opening set in Charlottesville was any indication of what this young woman is capable of, you will be hearing a lot more of that beautiful voice.”
Produced by Frank Liddell (Miranda Lambert, Eli Young Band, etc.), New City Blues, was recorded in Nashville and features 14 self-penned songs.
Of the music, Sellers, comments, “My influences are all over the place: the Kinks, Screaming Jay Hawkins, Buddy and Julie Miller, Creedence, even Ricky Skaggs. Led Zeppelin is my biggest rock influence—and that goes right straight, for me, to Ralph Stanley. That raw bluegrass, the banjo, that’s the same energy and intensity you get in punk. It’s all music that’s driven, that’s haunted, that cuts and moves.”
Her music, she adds, “is so much more like garage rock, that raw raging stuff. Maybe you could say it’s ‘garage country’?!”
Raised on the road surrounded by award-winning singers, songwriters and musicians, Sellers spent most of her childhood drawing inspiration from her Grammy Award-winning mother Lee Ann Womack and her father hit songwriter and musician Jason Sellers. Her own credits include vocals on critically acclaimed country records including Ralph Stanley’s A Man of Constant Sorrow, David Nail’s I’m a Fire and Miranda Lambert’s Platinum. Of her duet with Nail on his song “Brand New Day, “ Esquire’s Andy Langer asserts that Sellers, “…establishes herself right here and now as one to watch.”
