Willow Avalon

Willow Avalon, a rural Georgia native whose first word was “Elvis,” grew up surrounded by gospel and country music. She began playing piano in church and taught herself guitar at age 12, quickly turning to songwriting as a means of escape and salvation. At just 15, she left home and spent a brief period living in her car before making her way to California. Now based in New York, Avalon writes, plays and produces her own music alongside a small group of trusted collaborators, crafting a sound that refreshingly blends classic country and Americana. Her debut EP, Stranger, has racked up over 30 million streams, and her songs “Tequila and Whiskey” and “Homewrecker” have earned widespread attention.

Avalon’s unique style has led her to share stages with artists like Charles Wesley Godwin, Paul Cauthen, Cage the Elephant and more. Her anticipated debut album, Southern Belle Raising’ Hell, is due out January 2025.
