2020 Athletes & Artists Play for Kids Charity Weekend

Ever since she came careening into Nashville in 2014, singer-songwriter RaeLynn has been someone who is the “talk of the town” for her refusal to color within the lines and play it safe. The Texas native has enjoyed incredible success — a debut album, WildHorse, that bowed at No. 1 on Billboard’s Country Albums chart, two ACM New Female Vocalist nominations, a PLATINUM-certified single (“God Made Girls”), GOLD-certified single (“Love Triangle”), nearly 415 million total career streams, and the first Country face to represent the global beauty brand Too Faced. She co-wrote 11 of the 12 songs on WildHorse when she was 17 and 18.

RaeLynn’s upcoming EP, Keep Up, will reflect how her songwriting and life have changed. Showing a more quirky, fun side of herself, songs on the album brim with personality and humor, starting with her latest release “Bra Off.” RaeLynn’s exuberant attitude is partially due to the fresh start she got when she signed a record deal with Florida Georgia Line’s newly launched label, Round Here Records. She is also signed to their publishing company, Tree Vibez Music.
