Tenille Arts had a dream come true early this year, when she performed an original song on her favorite ABC show The Bachelor. The appearance led to a deal with Reviver Records, and the top-rated show has invited her back for a second appearance to perform her current single “I Hate This.”
Rolling Stone named Tenille one of their “10 New Country Artists You Need To Know” this week, calling her “An edgy, Fearless-era Taylor Swift with crystalline vocals; ideal for hopeless romantics who are fire signs.” The feature went on to say: “‘I Hate This’ addresses the helplessness that comes with any broken relationship, with Arts’ voice drifting and lilting over a Dobro riff.”
“I’m so excited to be on The Bachelor again! It’s an honor to have the opportunity to perform my music for such a huge audience,” said Tenille. “And to be included in Rolling Stone’s ‘10 New Country Artists You Need To Know’ in the same week is absolutely amazing. It’s so cool to see The Bachelor and Rolling Stone supporting new artists!”
Adam Wheeler co-wrote “I Hate This” with Tenille, and he produced the track with Matt Rovey. Tenille has been busy visiting country radio stations from coast to coast and writing and recording for an upcoming album .
The 24-year-old behind all of this recent attention is quietly confident country music lover raised in the small prairie town of Weyburn, Saskatchewan. She picked up the guitar and penned her first song at the age of 13 and has been performing across the US and Canada ever since. She made the move to Nashville almost three years ago, and a songwriting session brought her to the attention of award-winning producer Matt Rovey (Craig Campbell, Dean Brody), songwriter/producer Adam Wheeler and Noble Vision head Hal Oven.
Tenille’s music has tallied over six million streams. Her debut EP peaked at #1 on the iTunes Canada Country Album Chart and #37 on the iTunes U.S. Country Album Chart. Her first full-length album, Rebel Child, reached #2 on the iTunes Canada Country Album Chart and #16 on the iTunes U.S Country Album Chart.
Her talent and tenacity have so moved noted music critic Tom Roland that he has penned two rare full-page features the Billboard Country Update. Music Row Magazine critic Robert K. Oermann called Tenille “Promising in the extreme.” Streaming giant Pandora named her one of their new artists to watch for 2017, saying, “with songwriting inspired by Don Henley and reminiscent of early Taylor Swift, and vocals the size of her native Canada, Arts’ future is bright.” Popular country website whiskeyriff.com labeled Tenille a “new country artist name you need to know immediately,” and PopCulture.com named her one of their “Country Artists to Watch in 2018.”
