Singer-songwriters Aubrie Sellers and Jade Jackson have combined their talents to become the duo Jackson+Sellers. The performers will release their debut album Breaking Point in October and gave a preview of that project Wednesday with their revved-up take on Julie Miller’s “The Devil Is an Angel.”
Sellers, the Nashville-raised daughter of singer Lee Ann Womack, and Jackson, a Southern California native who previously worked with Mike Ness, have both excelled at combining harder edged sounds with country melodies on their solo recordings. On “The Devil Is an Angel,...

Like Johnny Cash and Rick Rubin before them, Ryan Culwell and Aubrie Sellers reimagine a Nine Inch Nails song with chilling results. The two against-the-grain Nashville songwriters cover the 1990 single “Head Like a Hole” as a somber, haunted duet. The pair released the song on Thursday with an accompanying music video.
Over a simple acoustic guitar pattern, Culwell and Sellers’ voices intertwine as they sing the chorus — “bow down before the one you serve/you’re going to get what you deserve.” It’s in stark contrast to Trent Reznor...

The winners of the 2020 Americana Honors and Awards were announced Tuesday morning, with the Highwomen and John Prine among this year’s winners. Due to the ongoing pandemic, the Americana Music Association decided to forgo an in-person awards ceremony in 2020, instead announcing the winners via social media.
The Highwomen may have been mostly absent from the CMAs and Grammy Nominations, but the all-star quartet of Amanda Shires, Brandi Carlile, Maren Morris, and Natalie Hemby lead among Americana Awards winners in 2020. The group locked up prizes for Album of the Year for their self-titled debut,...

In February, Aubrie Sellers released her second album Far From Home on the heels of a tour with Robert Earl Keen.

Enter World on Fire, a three-track EP recorded in collaboration with her guitarist and boyfriend Ethan Ballinger, which features Sellers’ dense, dreamlike take on Chris Isaak’s 1990 hit, “Wicked Game.”

It’s an election year, which means that artists hitting the road in the coming months will either be weighing in on the presidential candidates’ policies or providing a sweet escape from the slings and arrows of politics.

No matter what concertgoers are looking for, though, the season has plenty to offer. Here are Rolling Stone’s picks for spring’s can’t-miss concerts.

On February 7th, Aubrie Sellers will unveil Far From Home, the follow-up to her 2016 debut album New City Blues, which was released four years ago this week. Sellers continues to cover a wide range of musical and emotional territory with the advance tracks from the forthcoming LP — the latest, “Lucky Charm,” finds the often-contemplative singer-songwriter in a sweet, light, and romantic mood.
Buzzing with swirling rock guitar and pounding rhythm, “Lucky Charm” turns negatives into positives as Sellers finds herself relentlessly followed by a sure sign of bad luck — a black cat.

Three weeks away from the release of her sophomore LP, Far From Home, Aubrie Sellers showcases the tender, yet tenuous aspects of budding romance with an intimate acoustic performance of “Haven’t Even Kissed Me Yet.” Halting and poignant, the lyrics offer an uneasy, yet brutally frank assessment of where a burgeoning relationship may or may not be headed, as Sellers vulnerably sorts out the details of a conversation that’s happening only in her mind at the moment but still feels inevitable.

“Doesn’t the sun ever shine here?” cracks Lee Ann Womack, spiking the last word with her bright Texas twang. She’s been in Brooklyn for the better part of a December week, the skies a mostly unremitting gray, and with a storm now on the way. “It’s so gloomy! But it’s good for making country music — my kind of country, anyway.” Frankly, it makes her want to drink. But it’s early afternoon and there’s work to do, so she heads for the cooler filled with bottled water and kombucha.

All Aubrie Sellers wants for Christmas is to beat her family in a game of “Nertz.”
Work commitments mean the singer-songwriter is hosting Christmas in L.A. this year instead of going to see the family in Texas, but despite the location change, some traditions will stay the same.
“Everyone cooks and we play a lot of music and have guitars all over the house,” she says, over the phone in Los Angeles on a recent afternoon, “but what we really love is playing games.”

During a two-night stint at the fabled Troubadour in West Hollywood this past October, Tanya Tucker mixed classic hits, such as “San Antonio Stroll” and “It’s a Little Too Late (to Do the Right Thing Now),” with songs from her multiple-Grammy-nominated While I’m Livin’. A blend of material exhibiting her decades-long gift for ballsy swagger and tender reflection, Tucker’s live show at the Troubadour included a devastatingly gorgeous rendition of the song that gave her current LP its title.

Aubrie Sellers has released the pensive title track to her upcoming album Far From Home. Expressing a sense of disconnection, but ultimately finding a light at the end of a dark tunnel, the tender tune, co-written with Park Chisholm, stands in stark contrast to the hard-rocking previously released cuts from Sellers’ second album.
“This song came from the feeling of being disconnected from others, or never quite fitting in,” Sellers says in a statement. “Feeling like I’m not in the right place is something that seems to follow me around.

Aubrie Sellers plumbs the complicated depths of her psyche in the chillingly candid “Worried Mind,” a track from the singer’s upcoming album Far From Home. In the just-released video for an acoustic version of the tune, shot in a diner in a single take by director Chloé Aktas, Sellers sings, “They got pills for things that hurt, I’ve tried some but nothing works for a worried mind. I’ve got a worried mind.” Delivered with the forthright intensity of a traditional Appalachian folk ballad, the lyrics address a...

Aubrie Sellers offers another fascinating preview of her forthcoming LP Far From Home with “My Love Will Not Change,” featuring country-rock stalwart Steve Earle. As a team, Sellers and Earle turn the track into a hard-driving rock anthem that’s less an ode to comforting commitment and more a statement of gritty defiance.
Penned by veteran songwriters Shawn Camp and Billy Burnette, “My Love Will Not Change” was first featured on the Del McCoury Band’s 2003 LP, It’s Just the Night. In 2007, Hal Ketchum delivered a more straight-ahead country...

Aubrie Sellers kicks off the new track, “Drag You Down,” with a bone-chilling primal scream, offering a first sizzling taste of the long-awaited follow-up to her 2016 debut, New City Blues. Fusing country-music lyricism with grinding garage-rock guitar, Sellers sings, “I’m gonna drag you through the neighborhood right into the mud, yeah, you can try and stop me but it just won’t be enough,” signaling to her apathetic man that if there’s misery ahead she’s not the only one who’ll be experiencing it.

Aubrie Sellers has returned with a dreamy cover of Dwight Yoakam’s 1993 hit “A Thousand Miles From Nowhere,” posted on Tuesday with an accompanying video. It’s the singer-songwriter’s first new music since 2016’s New City Blues.
Emphasizing the woozy melancholy of Yoakam’s Number Two-charting hit, Sellers dials up the reverb and guitar effects in her version to create a hazy, almost narcotic atmosphere. Her crystalline voice keeps it anchored, cutting through the mix to convey all the hurt in Yoakam’s lyrics. Contrasted with the swirling guitars and bossa nova-style percussion,...

For the record, Lee Ann Womack does not smoke, despite the fact that the artist is holding a lit cigarette on the cover of her new album. And yes, she says, she knows “it’s not cool to smoke.”
But then if Womack had cared about what is and isn’t cool, she probably wouldn’t have made The Lonely, the Lonesome, and the Gone – one of the year’s most fearless and soulful albums to come out of Nashville this side of Chris Stapleton.

With all the sweet moments on the Acm Awards red carpet (like Thomas Rhett’s adorable “daddy mode” behavior) and the huge amount of stop-and-stare gowns (we’re looking at you Carrie Underwood and Nicole Kidman!), you may have missed the true fashion fairytale moment from country singer Aubrie Sellers. The 25-year-old daughter of Lee Ann Womack wore a custom Nicole Miller dress picked from five options to wear on Sunday night, and she shared the entire design process with PeopleStyle.
The songstress said she started the custom dress fitting process by getting on the phone with Nicole Miller to talk about her must-have details.

Aubrie Sellers may sound like an angel, but she’s got a lot of edge—both in her music and in her hobbies!
The rising singer-songwriter, 25, had so much fun riding a motorcycle on the set of her “Sit Here and Cry” music video that it inspired her to get her license.
“I have a friend, Natalie, who rides with this girl biker group called Babes Ride Out,” Sellers tells People Now. “I was like, ‘I want you guys to come be in my video.’ So they came and did it and we rode and it was so much fun.

Aubrie Sellers refuses to fit the mold of your average female country musician — and in an exclusive look at the making of the “Sit Here and Cry” music video, the singer proves she has no plans to deviate anytime soon.
“When I was thinking of video ideas for this song, I wanted it to reflect the energy of the music and express the big eye roll that ‘Sit Here and Cry’ is,” Sellers explained to People exclusively. “I had a very specific visual vision for it, and when I saw Sam Siske’s reel I knew he was going to get it.
