Macy Krew’s family claims she was singing before she could talk and hasn’t looked back since. By the age of 13 Macy was performing in talent shows and writing poetry, which later became songs of her own. Originally from Michigan, Macy has had the chance to open for Chris Allen claiming that performing gives her a burst of confidence.

Now living in Nashville, Macy is expanding her knowledge of songwriting. Having promised herself that any song that she will ever release is self-written, Macy’s music is real and often relatable to her listeners. Macy’s latest release Wherever You Are talks about her relationship with her boyfriend as well as her mother, both who appear at every one of her shows. Reflecting a country pop sound, Macy is following in the footsteps of female powerhouses Kelly Clarkson, Kelsea Ballerini, and Carly Pearce.

For the future, Macy hopes to continue along this journey and tell her story to as many people as she can. Macy also plans to release her debut EP within the year. Listen to Macy’s music on iTunes and Spotify now.

By the age of 14, Hannah began writing songs of her own and attended Belmont University in Nashville to further her songwriting ability.

After giving Los Angeles a chance, Hannah made the move to Nashville where she currently resides. Influenced by classic rock bands, Hannah’s music has a traditional country sound. Such as her latest single Lazy River, which reminisces of the times when Hannah went tubing down the river in her hometown. The ideal summer song, Lazy River was released on June 5th.

Always in the mood for a road trip, Hannah hopes to tour this fall nationally and internationally, after her success headlining a show in Ireland. 

Lazy River, the first single off Hannah’s sophomore album, can be found everywhere now and on her website at www.hannahanders.com.
