Nashville native Aubrie Sellers comes from one of the most talented families in country music. She's the daughter of Lee Ann Womack and Jason Sellers, and her stepfather is celebrated record producer Frank Liddell - but that's not the reason why you should listen to her music. Sellers has managed to do things on her terms, expertly cultivating her own sound with a heart full of rock 'n' roll.

Sellers began earning critical praise with the release of "Loveless Rolling Stone," a rock-edged single off her 2016 debut album New City Blues. While her country music influences are apparent, they are tangled up with the boldness and power found in some of the 1970s best female rock gods. Sellers constantly teeters the edge of vulnerability and strength with her honest lyrics that aren't afraid to address tough subjects that mainstream country routinely shies away from.
She's since followed that up with a more rock-flavored sophomore effort, 2020's Far From Home, featuring such guitar-rock gems as "Lucky Charm." That same year, Sellers picked up two Americana Music Awards Nominations: for Emerging Act and Song of the Year (for Steve Earle duet "My Love Will Not Change").
