Brittney Spencer is doing country her own way. After going viral on Twitter in 2020 for her rendition of The Highwomen’s “Crowded Table,” Spencer has toured the country, working alongside the likes of Carrie Underwood, Maren Morris, and Christopher Cross to name a few. Since striking out on her own and releasing her first EP, Compassion, in 2020, Spencer has garnered a loyal fanbase devoted to her unique style of country that blends genres and cultures to form an eclectic sound. Her newest album, My Stupid Life, is available via Elektra Records on January 19, 2024.
