The tour supports Bradbery’s new single of the same name, available now and on Country Radio February 13, already racking up 4.4M+ global streams. Employing her smoky, power vocals and definitive sparkle, “A Special Place” (Big Machine Records) is the sort of post-classic Country that can paint a picture, pierce a moment and deliver the kind of come-uppance that would make Loretta Lynn proud. Leave it to songwriters Maren Morris, Sasha Sloan, Shane McAnally and Jimmy Robbins to throw down with a gusto rarely seen – and producers Nathan Chapman and Derek Wells to capture that unrepentant joy with an equally robust track. With “A Special Place,” Bradbery created a song for the clear-eyed young woman who knows when to gate-check a not-good-enough former flame in a way that absolutely suits the person in question. Watch the story behind the song here.

ABOUT DANIELLE BRADBERY: Danielle Bradbery has come a long way since kickstarting her career at just 16-years-old.

Facing the challenges brought on by the pandemic head on, Bradbery spent time creating music she loves, infusing her own heartfelt and personal stories into songs like “Never Have I Ever” and “Break My Heart Again” while also bringing the sass on “Stop Draggin’ Your Boots,” which has amassed over 71 million streams to date. Having always been a young woman who’s long on spunk and short on wasting time, Bradbery employs her smoky, power vocals and definitive sparkle on her new single “A Special Place” (Big Machine Records), impacting Country radio February 13. Already racking up over 4.4M+ streams to date, it’s the sort of post-classic Country that can paint a picture, pierce a moment and deliver the kind of come-uppance that would make Loretta Lynn proud. Leave it to songwriters Maren Morris, Sasha Sloan, Shane McAnally and Jimmy Robbins to throw down with a gusto rarely seen – and producers Nathan Chapman and Derek Wells to capture that unrepentant joy with an equally robust track.

ABOUT TIERA KENNEDY: Rising artist Tiera Kennedy is emerging as one of the most exciting voices in the format – injecting Country music with a breath of vitality. The flagship artist on Nicolle Galyon’s groundbreaking Songs & Daughters Publishing finds herself as a voice for young women everywhere. Lighting a fire with her independently released self-titled EP, Nashville Scene cited the Alabama native as “the total package” and “a writer who has learned how to write for their own voice at a young age,” while American Songwriter concurs, hailing her as “one of Nashville’s most promising young singer/songwriters” and TEEN VOGUE raved about her “pure, catchy upbeat country story-telling.” Giving fans a taste of where her music was headed with an initial demo of her debut single “Found It In You” – inspired by her relationship with her husband and creative director Kamren Kennedy – Tiera Kennedy and her co-writer/producer Cameron Bedell had Dann Huff join them for the final take of the song, available now via The Valory Music Co. The songwriter who found her muse outside Muscle Shoals, Alabama distills all the whirling joyousness of nightfall in the towns of her home state with new song “Alabama Nights,” while also sprinkling some Christmas magic with her first pair of holiday releases “Blue Christmas” and “I’ll Be Home For Christmas.” Landing on several of 2022’s most impressive Artist to Watch Lists, including CMT’s Listen Up, MusicRow’s Next Big Thing and Pandora’s Country Artist to Watch, Tiera Kennedy recently opened for Kelsea Ballerini at the 2023 College Football Playoff National Championship Tailgate in Los Angeles. Next up, Tiera will provide direct support for Danielle Bradbery’s A SPECIAL PLACE TOUR, kicking off February 23 before heading to the west coast for Stagecoach on April 28. As the host of Apple Music Country’s The Tiera Show, Tiera Kennedy puts her stamp on Country music daily. For the latest information and more, visit TieraMusic.com and follow along on Instagram.
ABOUT MACKENZIE CARPENTER: Hailing from Athens, GA, Mackenzie Carpenter is a singer/songwriter whose soulful Country tone was honed by singing in her local church as a kid. She was inspired by her dad to begin writing songs while her two older brothers taught her how to play guitar. Her musical upbringing led her to attend Belmont University in Nashville where she immediately immersed herself into the local songwriting community. Her first cut as a songwriter, “Villain,” landed at No. 1 on the iTunes Country chart. She then burst onto the artist scene with her successful first single “Can’t Nobody,” and the much anticipated, “Huntin’ Season,” following a video of her performance at a writer’s round that amassed 6+ MILLION views on TikTok alone. Mackenzie is building a fanbase online and on the road having already opened for Miranda Lambert, Jake Owen, Parker McCollum, Craig Campbell, Ryan Hurd, and Conner Smith. After her recent release, “Jesus I’m Jealous,” she is currently in the studio recording her debut project and gearing up for credible events like Country Thunder, Tortuga Music Festival and Stagecoach in 2023.
