Coming off the release of her EP, Modern Cowgirl: Volume 1, Jenna was able to spread her message to a new audience each night. Becoming quick friends with Mason, it was easy for Jenna to view the tour as a vacation rather than work.
Ultimately, Jenna missed home while on the road. Growing up on the Oklahoma, Texas boarder she missed the open fields and the ranching lifestyle. From her granddaddy who taught her how to ranch and the importance of country music to her parents who taught her the value of hard work, Jenna continuously praises those who came before her. “Being a girl doesn’t disqualify you when men see your value and teach you how to become great. My grandfather and uncles never thought twice about me being female. They gave me boy jobs and expected me to rise to the occasion. They were sensitive to the differences in my strength but never gave me a handout because of it. It really set me up for success and made me tough, mentally.” To tell her story, Boot Barn chose Jenna as the face of their holiday campaign. Photos were taken on her family’s ranch, detailing Boot Barn’s products with Jenna’s signature modern cowgirl style. Named one of our Artists to Watch in 2020, Jenna is looking forward to expanding her audience in the coming year. With dreams to own her family’s ranch once she receives her first number one, Jenna is more than ready to soar. Listen to Jenna Paulette on all streaming platforms and on her website http://www.jennapaulette.com/.  Entering vocal competitions, making calls to radio stations, and attending every concert she could, the artist track was right from the start for Sarah Ames. In addition to music, academics played an important role in Sarah’s life. Her high school’s valedictorian, Sarah attended college at the University of Southern California. After two years of school, she made the move to Nashville.
After her move, Sarah explored the Nashville scene. Attending concerts on her own, she soon realized the welcoming community in Nashville and made friends with other artists. Having a country rock sound, Sarah’s music is unique to her roots having listened to Sheryl Crow, Bonnie Raitt, and Alanis Morrissette as a child. Her latest single “Fix Me a Whiskey” was inspired by the line "til the whiskey can't fix me anymore.” Coming soon is Sarah’s next single “Neon and the Moon,” about searching for something to outshine the hurt. To promote the single and her upcoming EP, Sarah will be performing shows with Eric Paslay and small venues outside of Nashville.
