RECORDS/Columbia Nashville singer/songwriter Erin Kinsey has inked with Triple 8 for management.

Originally gaining traction by posting covers, the Texas native dropped her first original song, “Drunk Too,” in 2020, followed by “Just Drive,” which saw support from SiriusXM’s The Highway on their On the Horizon show. Recently, CMT premiered the video for her new single, “Hate This Hometown,” from her major label debut EP, 40 East.

Additionally, the rising country star made her Grand Ole Opry debut in April and has since performed at festivals like Faster Horses, Watershed and Tidalwave this past summer.

“Erin is our first female country signing, and she is already one of this year’s biggest breakout new country artists with over 60 million streams, 215,000 followers on TikTok and 122,000 Instagram followers,” said Triple 8 owner George Couri. “At 21 she already knows who she is, and her confidence and vocal power on stage is already as good as we could have hoped for.
