Carly Simmons is a rising country star blazing her own trail with powerhouse vocals, raw emotional depth, and a genre-blending sound that fuses country, rock, and Americana. Based in Chester County, PA, Carly has lived and created music in both Los Angeles and Nashville, collaborating with some of the top writers and producers in the industry. Her music reflects themes of resilience, heartbreak, and self-discovery—with each song anchored by a voice that’s as soulful as it is unforgettable.
Before the pandemic, Carly was accepted by both American Idol and The Voice, but made the intentional choice to focus on original music and developing her sound. That decision has fueled a steady rise. She’s received radio play on iHeartRadio’s Kickin’ Country, built a loyal fanbase, and earned recognition for her live performances. In 2024, she was named Best Original Live Music by Main Line Today and featured as the cover story for both The Hunt Magazine and Main Line Today.
Carly has opened for artists such as George Birge, Corey Kent, Drew Baldridge and more.
Her latest single, “Join the Club,” is available now on all streaming platforms, and her highly anticipated follow-up, “Someone Who Stays,” drops June 13.
Carly is honored to be performing this year as the Hometown Star at Barefoot Country Music Festival and share the stage with some of country’s biggest acts.
With grit, heart, and a sound all her own, Carly Simmons is quickly becoming one of the most exciting new voices in country music.
