Anne Wilson Takes The Crowd To Church At Her Sold-Out Ryman Auditorium Headline Debut
PLATINUM-certified, GRAMMY-nominated artist and songwriter Anne Wilson performed to a sold-out crowd at her Ryman Auditorium headline debut last night as part of The REBEL Tour. Fans echoed every word as Wilson sang her breakthrough country hits and chart-topping Christian singles.
Wilson delighted the audience with surprise guest Jordan Davis, current reigning ACM Song of the Year winner, who performed their duet, “Country Gold,” off her latest album REBEL.
“What an incredible night I’ll never forget,” shared Wilson. “Thank you to Jordan Davis for coming and making this night extra special. You were the BEST surprise!!! Felt so good to play in Music City. So grateful for everyone who came and sold out the Ryman!”
The headline debut comes after the release of “Stand,” Wilson’s powerful new track. Penned by Wilson, Matthew West, Jeff Pardo and Jonathan Smith, “Stand” finds Wilson steadily building vocal momentum with each verse, delivering a passionate call to stand firm on faith-filled truths. Staying true to the ‘REBEL’ spirit seen on her recent album, Wilson encourages the listener to dare to be different.
Wilson’s momentum continues as she heads into the 55th annual GMA Dove Awards with four nominations, bringing her Dove total to 11 nominations and two wins in the last two years. Taking place on Tuesday, Oct. 1 at the Allen Arena in Nashville, Tenn., Wilson is up for Artist of the Year for the first time, along with nods for Pop/Contemporary Recorded Song of the Year for “Strong,”
Bluegrass/Country/Roots Recorded Song of the Year for “Praying Woman” with Lainey Wilson and Bluegrass/Country/Roots Album of the Year for REBEL. The Awards will air exclusively on TBN and TBN+ and simulcast on SiriusXM The Message on Friday, October 4 at 8 p.m. and 10 p.m. ET.
