Willow Avalon

Rising singer, songwriter, and musician Willow Avalon released her first album, Southern Belle Raisin’ Hell, in January 2025, cementing herself as one of country music’s most compelling new voices, blending classic country, Americana, and rock influences. Billboard named the track “The Actor” a “must-hear new country song” and Whiskey Riff celebrated the album saying, “Willow is a star, with talent in spades, and who has a long future ahead of her for her pure talent and songwriting savvy that, together, make a lethal combination that puts her in a league of her own.” Holler added that the album is “a resoundingly defiant collection of ruminations on the journey of a young woman challenging societal expectations.” Southern Belle Raisin’ Hell consists of fourteen tracks, including breakout singles, “Tequila or Whiskey” and “Homewrecker,” which have amassed nearly 100 million views on social media to date and over 15 million streams across platforms in just the last two months.

Originally from Georgia and now based in Nashville, Willow Avalon’s musical journey began with her first word, “Elvis.” Raised by her mother and grandmother in a small Southern town, she grew up playing piano in church and taught herself guitar at age 12, using songwriting as both an escape and a means of self-expression. After independently releasing her debut single “Drivin’” in 2021, she quickly caught the industry’s attention, leading to a deal with Atlantic Records/Assemble Sound in 2023 and her EP Stranger in 2024. She has performed on The Late Show with Stephen Colbert and CBS Mornings, as well as festivals such as Hangout and C2C, bringing her electrifying presence to global audiences. Known for a sharp wit and rebellious spirit, she has shared stages with legends and rising stars alike, including Cage the Elephant, Paul Cauthen, and Charles Wesley Godwin. With sold out headline tours in both the U.S. and the U.K., as well as hundreds of millions of views across social content, Willow Avalon is redefining what it means to be a modern Southern storyteller.
