Hailey Whitters Announces Tour Dates Supporting Maren Morris, Profiled by Rolling Stone
By: Tori Hartshorn Apr. 03, 2019
This week, rising star Hailey Whitters announced that she will support Maren Morris this fall during her world tour. The announcement comes on the heels of the release of two new singles, "Ten Year Town" and "The Days," that will appear on her forthcoming album The Dream to be released later this year.
Rolling Stone's Marissa Moss recently sat down with Whitters to discuss the news about opening for Maren Morris, her new singles, and the story behind the creation of her forthcoming album. Moss called "Ten Year Town" a "...devastatingly honest acoustic meditation on the heartbreak that comes with watching each year go by in pursuit of a dream that may or may not ever come true."
"It comes back to the country music I was raised on," Whitters told Rolling Stone. "It wasn't about trucks and tailgates and hooking up. It was about life."

Rolling Stone Country recently named "Ten Year Town" one of the "10 Best Country, Americana Songs of the Week" and said, "Hailey Whitters makes the musicians' struggle sound delicate and beautiful on 'Ten Year Town,' a gentle ballad co-written with Brandy Clark about sticking it out no matter your quote-unquote sell-by date." MusicRow said, "Whitters displays a secure sense of self, leaning in to new, raw sounds and textures to translate the coming home." Whitters' forthcoming album The Dream follows her 2015 debut Black Sheep. As a writer for Carnival Music, she has written songs with Little Big Town ("Happy People"), Alan Jackson ("The Older I Get"), and Martina McBride ("Low All Afternoon" & "The Real Thing").
