Kalie Shorr is set to release her new EP Awake on Jan. 26, and she’ll be celebrating the release with a launch party on Jan. 25 at The Back Corner in Nashville. The new project features seven songs, and will be available for pre-sale on iTunes Jan. 15. The project’s first single “Two Hands” is currently playing on SiriusXM The Highway’s “On The Horizon,” Radio Disney Country, TuneIn Country Roads and on Apple Music playlists Breaking Country and Cool Country.
“Sometimes, this industry makes you second guess yourself,” Shorr explains. “It might not even mean to — there are just so many opinions and it’s easy to try to please everyone. This project is the first time I’ve tuned everything else out but my own gut feeling on who I am and what makes me unique. This past summer, I bought a new electric guitar, met an amazing producer, and fell back in love with the records that made me want to write songs in the first place. Before I knew it, the Awake EP was born. I couldn’t be more excited for it’s release, this record feels like the most authentic introduction to me I could give anyone.”
Shorr will hit the road beginning in February on the CMT Next Women of Country Presents Sara Evans All The Love Tour.
Shorr, who is part of the women-only music showcase in Nashville dubbed Song Suffragettes, recently teamed with fellow Song Suffragettes members including Lacy Cavalier and Lena Stone to cover Keith Urban’s “Female,” garnering praise from fans and critics alike.
