Lori McKenna puts a magnifying glass on un-championed lives. She doesn’t just notice the quiet and ordinary, she delights in it – effortlessly transforming the average to extraordinary. The result is over a decade worth of songs filled with honest stories and melodic depth, and her latest release is no exception.

The Grammy Nominated album The Bird & The Rifle is the tenth full-length album from the prolific songwriter, which NPR has praised as “one of 2016’s best releases.” Produced by Dave Cobb (Jason Isbell, Chris Stapleton), the album features ten original songs including the single, “Wreck You,” and McKenna’s version of her own “Humble & Kind,” which Tim McGraw recorded and took to No. 1 on the Billboard Country Airplay and Hot Country Songs chart. In 2016, McKenna received her second consecutive “Song of the Year” award at the CMA’s for “Humble & Kind,” marking her the first solo songwriter to win the award since 2011 and the first since 1993 to receive the honor two years in a row. Additionally, McKenna took home the “Best Country Song” award for “Humble & Kind” at the 59th Annual Grammy Awards, making it her second consecutive win in the category, following the 2015 award for “Girl Crush” by Little Big Town.

Nearly a decade since receiving her first album cut through superstar, Faith Hill, McKenna is one of the most sought after songwriters in the industry with songwriting credits that include the 2x Platinum Billboard No. 1 hit, “I Want Crazy,” by Hunter Hayes and radio favorites like Little Big Town’s “Your Side of the Bed” and “Sober.” She penned the 2015 massive Little Big Town hit, “Girl Crush,” which reached 11 weeks on the Billboard’s Hot Country Songs and netted McKenna a CMA Award, NSAI Songwriters and her first Grammy.

McKenna has written songs recorded by Faith Hill, Reba, Tim McGraw, Little Big Town, Hunter Hayes, Keith Urban, Alison Krauss and more. She currently lives in Stoughton, Massachusetts with her husband and five children.
