Only a year ago, Kacey Musgraves was named NPR’s ‘Best New Artist,’ and Rolling Stone named her single, “Merry Go’ Round,” one of the 50 Best Singles of the Year. She wrote on some songs you might have heard of like “Mama’s Broken Heart” – Miranda Lambert and “Undermine” for NBC’s Nashville. She toured with Allison Krauss, Kenny Chesney, Willie Nelson, and earned praise for her modern country-folk sound. Fast-forward to now, that sound has our full and undivided attention. Currently on tour with Eric Church and Kenny Chesney, Musgraves has also made an appearance in featured articles on major media outlets. Billboard.com began singing her praises in a recent article of the 10 Artists to Watch in 2013, and said this of the singer: “Kacey Musgraves — Her debut single “Merry Go Round,” reminds us of something that Loretta Lynn might have written had she arrived in Nashville today. It has that same earthy feel of many of the icon’s classic hits. The Sulphur Springs, TX native is definitely going to make quite an impact in 2013” … “impact” might be an understatement, considering the single has already reached GOLD certification status. USA Today also headlined “On the Verge: Country goes crazy for Kacey Musgraves” and declared her “country music’s newest ‘it’ girl.” So, it is safe to say the new girl on the block is making a huge name for herself, and she has plans to stay on everyone’s radar. Tomorrow at 7 am ET she will be performing “Merry Go ‘Round” on NBC’s TODAY to promote the release of her new album “Same Trailer Different Park.” She is nominated for Female Vocalist of the Year at the upcoming ACM Awards, and will continue on tour through the end of August. If you have a chance to catch Kacey perform in a city near you – DO IT!

Kacey Musgraves is clearly already well on her way to Country Superstardom, but the best thing about her is that there is no doubt she will stay true to her style and continue to put out real music. Country, folk, soft rock, whatever she chooses to do will be incredible and fans will go ’round and ’round and ’round on the ride with her for years to come!
