Tenille Towns on Going Independent Again, The Acrobat, and Writing Songs That Help People Feel Less Alone
Host Tony Mantor introduces his podcast Almost Live Nashville and interviews singer-songwriter Tenille Towns, who moved from Grand Prairie, Alberta to Nashville and became an ACM New Female Artist of the Year and Juno Award winner.
Towns discusses returning to independence after nearly eight years with Sony Nashville, producing her new record The Acrobat herself for release on April 10, and regaining creative autonomy.
She reflects on small-town roots, homesickness, touring highs, and the pressures of the industry that led to feeling lost, depression, therapy, and reframing identity beyond career. T
owns explains how fan connections encourage vulnerability, how her songwriting has become more personal, and highlights songs including Somebody’s Daughter, Jersey on the Wall, Villain in Me, and Enabling.
She shares rapid-fire answers and closes with a message about allowing feelings to pass through and seeking connection.
