Gabby Barrett releases her debut album Goldmine on Warner Music Nashville today (June 19). The set is available to stream and download now.
“It feels like a dream that this day is here,” says Gabby. “I’ve wanted to put out an album since I was 11 years old and decided that country music was what I would aspire to do for the rest of my life, so to see it come to life today just the way I dreamed is such a huge blessing. Thank you to everyone who inspired, worked on and supported this album from beginning to now – I really do feel like it’s my own little ‘goldmine,’ and I am so grateful. I hope you love it as much as I do!”
