Tiera Kennedy Celebrates Her Roots On New Single “Alabama Nights”
Rising artist Tiera Kennedy celebrates her upbringing in her hometown of Birmingham, Alabama on her latest single “Alabama Nights” , out now via Big Machine Records. And what a fantastic feel good song, an ode to loving where you come from and partying with those who know you best, which I remember falling l in love with back in March when she performed it at c2c. And it seems a very popular release all round judging by comments from many of her fans who have already heard it live.
Watch the song’s lyric video here:
” There’s something so easy about kicking back where I’m from”,Tiera explains. “You don’t always realize until you’re gone, and then it hits you. I love everything about my life right now, don’t get me wrong, but Alabama will always have my heart. The hometown football games, parking lot parties, family restaurant on main street – I wish I could go back and experience it all over again”.
Produced by Cameron Bedell and Dann Huff, “Alabama Nights” has a sonic palette that lifts the melody up, but leaves room for the images to shine. Employing multiple ACM Award winners Ilya Toshinskiy on acoustic guitar and Derek Wells on electric guitar, plus Kirk “Jellyroll” Johnson on harmonica, it’s a track that’s full of light and spark. Whether drive-in double features, her mother’s cooking, cars with skipping CDs and even a little Bob Dylan, listeners can’t miss Tiera’s enthusiasm for even the smallest pleasures in life that she remembers so clearly and describes so well.
“Whether you got out or still live there, our hometowns made us who we are. I wrote ‘Alabama Nights’ about my neck of the woods but I hope wherever you’re from, this song reminds you of home,” Tiera shares.
And as well as celebrating her roots on this new release, Tiera has further reasons to celebrate as her debut single ” Found It in You” has racked up over 18 Million streams and continues to rise at Country radio.
