Carnival Music/Thirty Tigers artist Aubrie Sellers stopped by MusicRow on Tuesday (January 19) to preview music from her January 29 release, New City Blues. The 14-track album showcases Sellers’ pristine vocals, not unlike her parents, Lee Ann Womack and Jason Sellers. She has been writing for three years, contributing a credit on each track on the Frank Liddell-produced project. Sellers said she chose Liddell, who is her stepfather, to produce the project because he helps every artist he works with to find their own voice. Sellers is currently out on dates with Chris Stapleton. Her Opry performance last weekend offered CDs in advance of the release date. Listen to the tracks on NPR’s First Listen now.
