Her date was her dad that nearly passed away this summer and her trophy is going to need to get a little bigger.

Lainey Wilson is your new Country Music Association: Female Vocalist and New Artist of the year.

What does that mean for you?

You have a chance to see one of the hottest country stars in the entire country at The Beacon Club in Mills on Sunday January 22, 2023.

WOW, right?

Her story is one for the storybooks and her success is much deserved.

A couple years ago, many people had no idea who Lainey Wilson was. Now she's on playlists, social media pages, hearts and minds all across the country.

The Louisiana native has been making waves in the industry since she made the move to Nashville over 10 years ago. She struggled,  lived in a camper, scraped pennies to make it, played for small crowds and rode to gigs in small cars and vans with other stinky musicians. Thankfully she stuck with it, kept her dream alive and never gave up.

Because she kept striving and didn't let the struggles rain on her parade, we're going to get the opportunity to see her up close and personal at the Beacon Club in Mills on Sunday, January 22.

If you remember a couple years ago, she was at the Ford Wyoming Center with Justin Moore and it was the first time you got to see those bright colored flares and her country sass.

Get ready, cause she's bringing that sass and flare back to central Wyoming to the Beacon Club in Mills, WY and tickets are on sale today.

She's bringing a couple cool up and comers with her too. Ben Chapman and Meg McRree will rock the Beacon stage prior to Lainey on Sunday January 22.
