New York, NY (Top40 Charts) Singer/songwriter Hailey Whitters has signed with APA, it was announced today by APA Nashville SVP and Head of Concerts, Steve Lassiter. Whitters has opened for a wide variety of acts over the last few years, including Chris Knight, Randy Houser, Josh Thompson, Jana Kramer, Randy Rogers Band, Granger Smith, and Shenandoah. Most recently, she has been touring all over the U.S., with tour dates through the end of the year as she continues to work on her debut album. Whitters is signed to Carnival Music.
"Hailey is a unique and powerful performer with an extraordinary talent to connect to her audiences," commented APA Nashville concert agent, Cass Scripps. "We're really looking forward to introducing her to a broader audience as her career continues to grow."
Nashville is a far cry from her hometown of Shueyville, Iowa, but Whitters quickly fell in love with
Music City during a family vacation and made the decision to move to Nashville as soon as possible. With an early love of music drawing to acts like the Dixie Chicks,
Trisha Yearwood and Patty Loveless, she soon developed a talent for songwriting, which led her to the moody tones of "
Black Sheep" and the guitar ballad "Late Bloomer." But when Whitters lost her brother in a tragic car accident, it was "One More Hell" that resonated most with audiences. "The first time I ever played it live, this stranger in the front row was bawling," recalls Hailey, underscoring her ability to connect.
"I am ecstatic to be working with my new family at APA," she commented. "I'm thrilled to have aligned with an agency that first and foremost displays a genuine passion for the music I'm making. Cass, Matt, and the whole staff at APA couldn't have made a better addition to my team."
