“If you remember the shock we all felt when a 13-year-old LeAnn Rimes first hit the country scene with ‘Blue’ back in the mid-‘90s, then you’ll appreciate how rare a talent we’ve got in Tegan.” – RARE Country

Details: After making Florida Georgia Line “misty-eyed” with her own soul-stirring rendition of their smash-hit “H.O.L.Y.”, all while racking up over 14 million Facebook views in just three weeks and taking the music world by storm with an US Weekly “Buzzzz-o-Meter” seal of approval, 12-year-old viral country music sensation Tegan Marie is performing the national anthem live tomorrow night (7/22) at the U.S. Women’s National Soccer Team’s final game before departing for the 2016 Olympics in Brazil. The match, USA vs. Costa Rica, will take place in Kansas City, KS, and will be broadcast live on ESPN.

 

Continuing her impressive momentum, Tegan Marie kicks off August supporting country star Hunter Hayes in Las Vegas, NV on the 6th and Farmingville, NY on the 13th. On August 27, the superstar-in-the-making will perform at the 2016 Arthur Ashe Kids’ Day in Flushing Meadows, NY.  The annual single-day grassroots tennis and entertainment event is the largest in the world, and takes place the Saturday before the U.S. Open. Not only does the “Who’s Who?” of the tennis world get involved in the iconic day, in honor of tennis legend and humanitarian Arthur Ashe, but some of music’s hottest acts once appeared on their way to superstardom, including Britney Spears, Backstreet Boys and Justin Bieber.

 

Following her CMA Music Festival debut on the Radio Disney Country stage in June, Tegan Marie has had a busy summer of dates, including opening slots for country star Hunter Hayes. The charismatic youngster continues to win hearts (and score online views in the millions) with her pitch-perfect interpretations of hit songs like Kelsea Ballerini’s “Love Me Like You Mean It” – which led to her performing the track while being accompanied on guitar by Ballerini herself. In between performances, she keeps busy writing and recording songs that display a talent far beyond her young age, as demonstrated in late 2015 with her holiday single “A Christmas Tree,” which was featured on SiriusXM, Radio Disney, Pandora, and more.

 

Tegan Marie was born in Grand Blanc, MI, a suburb of Flint, in 2003. She picked up a guitar at 6, wrote love songs at 8, and was playing national stages by 11. Her sweet, clean vocals and sensitive interpretations have tween and teen girls across the nation clamoring for more, and she was recently discovered by girls media company Sweety High after she shared her videos on their site. In their words, she is “your new obsession.”
