Lanie Gardner

Lanie Gardner’s extraordinary journey is a testament to her unmatched talent and unwavering determination, from her roots in the Appalachian Mountains to international stages. A gifted storyteller and songwriter from an early age, Lanie crafted a distinctive blend of classic rock and country influences that quickly set her apart. Her career skyrocketed after her cover of Fleetwood Mac’s “Dreams” went viral, approaching 60 million views. Holding her own with her debut album A Songwriter’s Diary, which was released late 2024, the 10-track collection, written entirely by Gardner, invited listeners on a deeply personal journey through her roots and creative beginnings. Fast forward, she’s released the fiery “Buzzkill” and vocally stunning “Concrete Cowboy,” marking a bold new chapter in her anthemic and distinct sound. Acclaimed by Billboard as “a true artist with staying power" and by MusicRow as “one of the most exciting rising stars today,” Lanie’s rise has been marked by significant milestones, including being named by the Recording Academy and Amazon Music as a “2025 Artist to Watch” and to CMT’s Next Women of Country: Class of 2025. From being featured on the movie soundtracks for Queen of the Ring and Twisters to touring with the Jonas Brothers, Jelly Roll, Cody Johnson and ZZ Ward, Lanie is on the fast-track to stardom. Most recently, she collaborated with country superstar Thomas Rhett and Warren Zeiders, being featured on their just-released tracks “What Could Go Right” and “Love In Letting Go,” respectively.  The momentum continues as she wraps Corey Kent’s “Black Bandana” Tour, hits iconic country music festivals such as Stagecoach, CMA Fest and Carolina Country Music Festival, and prepares for Gavin Adcock’s “Need To” Tour this fall. Her soulful sound and captivating stage presence have earned her widespread acclaim and a dedicated fan base. As she continues her ascendancy, Lanie remains a genre-defying artist.
