Lanie Gardner Signs With TRACK mgmt
Rising artist Lanie Gardner joins the roster of TRACK mgmt—home to HARDY, Dallas Smith, Jake Worthington, McCoy Moore and more.
“It only took an intro meeting with TRACK mgmt to feel like I’d found my people,” says Gardner. “They genuinely care, and they get what it takes to be a real artist. I didn’t feel crazy for bringing up the little things…they beat me to it. You can tell they’re about building something meaningful that lasts. I feel really lucky and confident to have them in my corner.”
“It’s incredibly evident how truly special Lanie is, as both an artist and a person,” adds manager Emily Smith. “Her unique talent and work ethic are a dream to work with. I can’t wait for our team to help execute her vision and elevate to the next level!”
Lanie Gardner’s extraordinary journey is a testament to her unmatched talent and unwavering determination, from her roots in the Appalachian Mountains to international stages. A gifted storyteller and songwriter from an early age, she crafted a distinctive blend of classic rock, R&B, and country that quickly set her apart.
Her career skyrocketed after her cover of Fleetwood Mac’s “Dreams” went viral, amassing over 100 million views. With her debut self-penned album A Songwriter’s Diary, released in late 2024, Gardner delivered a deeply personal 10-track journey through her creative beginnings.
Lanie’s rise includes being named a 2025 Artist to Watch by the Recording Academy and Amazon Music, and CMT’s Next Women of Country: Class of 2025.
From movie soundtracks (Queen of the Ring, Twisters) to touring with the Jonas Brothers, Jelly Roll, Cody Johnson and ZZ Ward, she’s on the fast-track to stardom. Recent collaborations include Thomas Rhett (“What Could Go Right”), Warren Zeiders (“Love In Letting Go”) and Dorothy (“Tombstone Town”). This year alone, she made her Stagecoach debut, joined Corey Kent’s Black Bandana Tour, and will hit the road again this summer/fall with Gavin Adcock. She was also recently invited to make her Opry debut, further solidifying her place as one of the genre’s most exciting new voices.
Faded Polaroids, her sophomore release dropping on September 5, offers a sonic scrapbook of self-discovery, family roots, romantic twists, and personal healing. Across the album’s 18 tracks, Gardner blends country storytelling with indie-rock grit, small-town pop, and boundary-free emotion.
