Bio
Her country- & rock-influenced 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.
Venturing into the local music scene in early 2023, performances include opening for Tyler Nail at Wilkesboro’s Key City Sessions; at High Country Beer Fest; & at Statesville’s Roots in the Round Singers & Songbirds Songwriter Festival, which warranted a gracious review: “Pressley's music seamlessly blends creativity and depth while her lyrics balance wit with seriousness, revealing a nuanced perspective beyond her years.” With exciting upcoming performances this year, including debuts at The Appalachian Theatre opening for Adam Church and at the Antlers & Acorns: Boone Songwriters Festival, she and bandmates, Daniel Ames, Austin Summers, & Ray Edmonds, are eager for the release of the forthcoming EP, 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.
