Growing up in a small town outside of Austin, Texas, Virginia Louise found her voice the way most 7-year-old southern musicians do, by singing the national anthem in local rodeos. With Fleetwood Mac blasting from her Mom’s speakers and Etta James’ song “At Last” playing on repeat in her childhood home, it was inevitable for the young musician to draw from the strength of feminine voices. During her teenage years, her southern rock roots and lone star state of mind later drew her closer to the city where she performed in open mics at dive bars and eventually fell in love with the sounds of the live music capital of the world.
Since then, Virginia Louise has started her first solo project and took it all the way to Music City. She has since honed in on her musical style, and has been playing in Nashville, TN with her band as well as solo performances all around the city.
With her eclectic style, hands-on artistry, and raw lyrics focused on empowerment and storytelling, Virginia Louise is a force to be reckoned with in the indie/alternative music scene. The songstress brings introspective, guitar-driven anthems to a new level while working to inspire the world with her infectious heartfelt personality.
