Acclaimed singer, songwriter and performer Tenille Townes will release her new EP, Road to the Lemonade Stand, Feb. 7th via Columbia Nashville (pre-save/pre-order here). With the release of the EP, Townes is inviting fans to join her on the journey to her highly anticipated debut album, The Lemonade Stand, which will be released later this spring. Additional details to be announced soon.
Of the release, Townes shares:
I wanted to put out this EP to continue to tell the story of these songs. This EP is for everyone that has been on this road with me so far…the ones who have shared their stories at the shows and in messages and who have given these songs a home. You have shaped me and shaped the meaning of The Lemonade Stand. I’m so excited to walk on this Road to the Lemonade Stand with you.
Produced by Jay Joyce (Eric Church, Little Big Town), the EP features five songs written by Townes including her current single, “Jersey On The Wall (I’m Just Asking),” as well as a rendition of Keith Urban’s “Stupid Boy.” Of “Jersey,” Rolling Stone praises, “precise and potent lyrics full of empathy…It’s not a love song or a party song, but a moment of country music existentialism,” while Music Row declares, “Tenille Townes is the future. Get on board now.”
In celebration of the release, Townes will tour extensively this year including two specials shows with Keith Urban in Las Vegas and a series of dates supporting Alan Jackson, as well as returning to the UK & Europe in March for C2C Festival main stage appearances as part of the CMA’s Introducing Nashville series – full dates below:
