Black River Entertainment recording artist Kelsea Ballerini recently released a new EP titled “Audience Network Acoustic Sessions”. The 5 song EP released August 22nd features stripped down versions of the hit songs we’ve grown to love Kelsea for; including her latest hit “Peter Pan”.
The release comes on the heels of “Peter Pan” hitting #2 on Billboard US Hot Country Songs and #3 on Billboard US Country Airplay. Kelsea was surprised at the Grand Ole Opry earlier this month with a plaque signifying the song had earned RIAA Gold Certification. It is her third song to earn Gold status and can be found on her full length debut album “The First Time”, released back in May of 2015.
Kelsea first caught our attention with the release of her debut single “Love Me Like You Mean It” in October of 2014. The song hit #1 on Billboard US Country Airplay. The next month she released the self title digital EP “Kelsea Ballerini”. Not long after she released her second smash hit “Dibs” which also hit #1; giving Kelsea back to back number ones. She is only the fifth female solo country artist to accomplish this feat.
Previously Kelsea has opened for Lady Antebellum and Dan + Shay and is currently touring with Rascal Flatts.
She also is gearing up for her first headlining tour appropriately named “The First Time Tour”. Tour information can be found on her website kelseaballerini.com. The new EP “Audience Network Acoustic Sessions” is available for download on iTunes.
