NEW MUSIC OUT NOW!

NEW SINGLE OUT NOW!

"MOUNTAIN MAN"

While nursing her drink and her weekly karaoke habit at a college bar one night at the end of her senior year at Appalachian State University, Pressley Laton met a local Mountain Man from Banner Elk, NC. Shortly after, she had to break it to her dad that she wasn't coming back home. Nearly 3 years later, she and her parents would do some drive-by flower picking for her wedding bouquet on the way to marry her now Mountain Man husband. With her usual hyperbolic half-truths at play, she'll leave you to guess the fictional versus truthful parts.

DEBUT SINGLE OUT NOW!

"OL' GEORGE"

That wooden paddle hadn’t crossed Pressley Laton’s mind in years until she heard Tyler Childers’ “Bus Route.” The song’s bus driver triggered memories of her real-life grade school principal and the paddle which she truly named “Ol’ George.” Mixing truth with fictional flair, Pressley reframes this childhood experience in an unmistakably country song, the first downbeat punching through like the crack of a paddle on her rear end. Y’all best have a listen before Ol’ George finds you.

LISTEN NOW!

At least 3 chords & the half-truth.

Gritty. Soulful. Country.

Her country/rock vocals will punch right through you like Starr Larkin’s paddle… a wooden school paddle that Pressley Laton’s principal named “Ol’ George,” that is. With at least 3 chords & the half-truth as in her debut single, "Ol' George," the Stanly County, NC native’s small-town stories inspire her songwriting, whether it was crossing paths with a local “Mountain Man” before graduating from Appalachian State University or the fact she had to break the news to her dad that she wasn’t coming back home because of it. 


With 2023 performances at Key City Sessions; High Country Beer Fest; & Statesville’s Roots in the Round Singers & Songbirds Songwriter Festival, this year is full of exciting opportunities including a debut at The Appalachian Theatre opening for Adam Church; the Antlers & Acorns: Boone Songwriters Festival; Dock N’ Rock Music Festival; & Firerock Station opening for Paige King Johnson. She and bandmates, Daniel Ames, Austin Summers, & Ray Edmonds, are eager for the release of the forthcoming EP this year, Didn’t Stand a Chance. Recorded at Sioux Sioux Studio with Charlotte, NC-based producer, Jason Scavone, it’s the not-so-mainstream perspective you’ve been craving.
