Maggie Antone

Maggie Antone's voice has always won people over. Singing along to the radio from her carseat, it first won her parents over—enough so that they supported her through voice lessons, musical theater, and national anthem gigs around her hometown of Richmond. Later, with her recording of Tyler Childers's "Lady May," Antone's voice would win the Internet over, too, gaining so much praise that she would go on to release an entire collection of covers, Interpretations, the following year. But lately, the fans at Antone’s packed-out gigs are singing every word to her songs: After all, even if her voice is what draws you in, it's the vulnerability of her songwriting that will keep you coming back. Antone’s recently released debut album Rhinestoned offers ten songs worth of compelling evidence that this Virginia native just might be country’s next big thing. Released on August 23rd, 2024 on her own label Love Big via Thirty Tigers, the album only builds on the runaway success of her debut original single “Suburban Outlaw”—a song Holler praised for "lyrics that land like zippy teen movie one-liners." The steady stream of new music has earned her critical acclaim from the likes of Holler, Country Central, Music Row, Whiskey Riff, WMOT, and CT40 Launchpad, the latter of which debuted “Johnny Moonshine” across airwaves earlier this year; and a growing fanbase helping her to amass 792K followers and over 9.6M streams across platforms.
