Buzzing singer/songwriter Tenille Townes has inked a deal with Columbia Nashville, it was just announced. In tandem with the news, the silver-throated troubadour dropped her debut collection of songs—a four-track EP, named The Living Room Worktapes, that's clearly driven by the sincerity of an empathetic soul. Equipped solely with an acoustic guitar, Townes' stunning vocal soars far and wide while cutting straight to the listener's core.

Listen for yourself or catch the songstress, who recently kicked off a few gigs as an opener for Devin Dawson and Maren Morris, on the road. She joins The Bandwagon Tour with Miranda Lambert and Little Big Town in July.
