Leah Turner took to the soundstage at SIR in Nashville on Monday (May 12) to rehearse for media professionals before heading out for Brad Paisley’s summer tour.

With her Sony Nashville backing (home to a few of Country’s female arena headliners including Carrie Underwood and Miranda Lambert) the Columbia Nashville recording artist has promising support to become part of the future of women on Country radio. The California native holds her own, with plenty of magnetic charisma and unique vocal chops to break into Nashville’s mainstream.

Last week, a digital EP was released in advance of  the summer tour. Turner not only provides the female flair to her Sony labelmate Paisley’s party as the only girl in her four-person band, but in the whole tour lineup, which also includes Charlie Worsham, Randy Houser, and Dee Jay Silver.

After a short video intro (to be displayed courtesy of Paisley’s production), Turner blazes to the stage dressed in cowboy boots, tattered jeans, and a bedazzled tank. During her media preview, the blonde chanteuse performed an unreleased title “Make Your Move,” and captivated her audience through three additional titles on her EP, including her first single “Take The Keys,” followed by “My Finger” and her rising single “Pull Me Back.”

The four month tour begins Friday, May 16 in Camden, N.J., and heads west after July. Check out concert dates here.

I’m already anticipating a full-length album and her CMA Fest appearance at the Bridgestone’s Bud Light Stage!
