Rooted in Country: Chapel Hart on Gretchen Wilson s Redneck Woman
For country trio
Chapel Hart, made up of sisters Danica and Devynn Hart and cousin Trea Swindle, country music began at home. The women grew up in Hart s Chapel, a small community outside Poplarville,
Mississippi, where country music was always on the radio and they spent their days singing with their large family. But they found their richest harmonies singing together.
The group gained popularity
Billy Gibbons among their biggest fans. The rock and roll frontman appeared in their 2020 music video Jesus & Alcohol, a rousing boot-stomper about healing heartbreak with the Bible and the bottle. And the trio s new single
Alabama-native Harper Grae appeared on the reality competition show
Glee Project before beginning her rise to Nashville stardom with 2015 s Hell or High Water. In 2017, she released her debut album
Break Your Crowns.
Grae was named as one of Five LGBTQ and Americana Artists You Need to Know by CMT and received a 2020 GLAAD Rising Country Star. Living alongside of people who look and love different than me is important, Grae says in a statement. Nashville has become incredibly tolerant of LBGTQ people. There s a shift and a change, and the music industry is a big part of that. It s important that we take up space and that we do it without apologizing for it.
