MAGGIE ANTONE—RHINESTONED
DEBUT ALBUM RHINESTONED OUT NOW VIA
LOVE BIG / THIRTY TIGERS
ON TOUR WITH 49 WINCHESTER, ELLA LANGLEY,
TRAMPLED BY TURTLES AND BRENT COBB THIS FALL
Rhinestoned features previously shared singles “Rhinestoned,” “Everyone But You”—praised by Holler as a “tender and sweetly shy ballad”—“Suburban Outlaw” and “Johnny Moonshine,” which All Country News called “a spirited fusion of funky Americana and infectious country vibes that's sure to captivate listeners from the first chord.” The album also features a solo version of “I Don’t Wanna Hear About It,” which was previously released as a duet with Brendan Walter.
Additionally, Antone has upcoming in-store performances at Nashville’s Vinyl Tap at 5P.M. CST on August 30 and Richmond’s Plan 9 Music at 4P.M. EST on September 6 and will support 49 Winchester, Ella Langley and Trampled By Turtles on their fall tours and Brent Cobb at Nashville’s Ryman Auditorium in December. Last night, Antone performed a sold-out album release show at The Basement in Nashville, which followed a recent performance with Marty Stuart in Dallas, a co-headline tour with Kat Hasty, a performance at Bonnaroo and a sold-out show with The Red Clay Strays. She is also performing at a handful of festivals including Bourbon & Beyond in September. See below for the complete tour itinerary. Full details can be found at www.maggieantone.com/tour.
Antone’s playful humor, distinctly raspy drawl and undeniable charisma land the initial punches on Rhinestoned. A closer listen reveals the vocalist, songwriter and producer’s overarching desire to heal her heart by opening up and extending a helping hand to anyone who wants to do the same. It’s Antone’s ability to contrast her raucousness with a disarming vulnerability that makes Rhinestoned the honest affirmation of life’s ups and downs she hoped it would be. “No matter how big or small it is,” Antone says, “when you’ve gone through something and you hurt, it matters.”
Rhinestoned was co-produced by Antone alongside Carrie K. (Noah Kahan, Jessie Murph, Suki Waterhouse), with writing contributions from Trent Dabbs (Ingrid Michaelson, Kacey Musgraves), Aaron Raitiere (Lady Gaga, Ashley McBryde), Jillian Jacqueline (Keith Urban, Little Big Town) and Antone’s longtime hero Natalie Hemby (The Highwomen, Miranda Lambert).
Born and raised in Richmond, VA, Antone has been hailed as a bold new voice on the rise in alternative country. Her cover of Tyler Childers’ “Lady May” won her instant attention, and Interpretations, a follow up collection of covers including Dolly Parton’s “Jolene,” John Prine’s “Spanish Pipe Dream” and more, was released in late 2022 to early acclaim.
A songwriter since the age of 16, Antone has made music her full-time job since leaving college in late 2021. She is determined to make music that connects with people and write songs that make audiences feel seen and heard, a quality she deeply admires in the artists that have so inspired her to choose this path.
